Worth the money spent, a must do for all first timers to Penang. - It was excellent, worth every rupee spent...the guide, Mr.Ang, gave us a tailor made tour based on our interest areas and took pains explaining at each location about the history, patiently answering all our queries. Thank you Mr.Ang!

Wonderful Cultural Experience with a Great Guide - Eng, our guide, was very personable, engaging, considerate and flexible. He interpreted our wishes and gave us exactly what we wanted - an in-depth local appreciation of Georgetown. He was respected and well-known to all at the major sites we visited. Would highly recommend Eng and this tour.

I visited 4 different cities in malaysia and singapore. This tour with Jason was the highlight for sure!! - Amazing, definitely recommend! Our tour guide of Jason Lim. He was informative, really friendly. We spent all day with him finding out more about the island from the history to the culture to all the attactions. even some of the local food spots. We had a tour guide in Kuala Lumpur, I thought he was good until I met jason. he was another level. His tour will be the highlight of my trip is malaysia and singapore.

Highly recommend this tour in Penang - Jeffery was our tour guide and was absolutely fantastic. Visited Batik Craft manufacturing, Entopia, Penang Hill Fenicular, Temples and Chew Jetty. The express pass at Penang Hill is a must as the crowds are huge. Jeffery made sure he took us to all of the great spots on the journey around the beautiful island.

Perfect day in Penang! - This was a perfect way to see all the high lights of Penang. Goh was my guide and she was so accommodating and nice. I felt very comfortable and safe with her being a female, traveling alone in an unknown environment. I couldn’t be happier with my day. Thank you Goh!

An objectively good tour, however... - **UPDATE** Previous Rating 3/5 New Rating 4/5 Jeff was our private tour guide. He Whatssap messaged me the pickup details the night before, he arrived early at our hotel and drove my dad and I to all the major spots around Penang that we wanted to see. He even took extra time to bring us to a fruit stand to try durian for the first time. Jeff was seemingly enthusiastic, quite knowledgeable and answered all of our questions throughout the tour. We think the purpose of the tour was carried out well for the price advertised. However, for reasons I will not share publicly on TripAdvisor, a problem came up with our guide that made the majority of time uncomfortable for me. I sent a direct email to Active Dynamics to share full details of the experience and management responded very professionally, and appropriately to my experience shared -- hence my updated review. Lastly, we wanted to tip him (for the extra time spent on the tour) and we gave Jeff USD. I recommend tipping in Ringgit if you're choosing to do so (we just didn't have enough ringgit at the time).
