See George Town in a day - full power and a lot of good experiences - We had a very dedicated guie, Cheam, who really could tell us about the history of the town, and the history of the buildings and almost everything else. The visit at the mansion was very interesting, beacuse we had so much information. We made good relations with our guide, and had a wonderfull and long day, almost 9 hours. The waiting time at Penang Hills is not good. Please find a better way there and find another place in the city to get the same view. E.g. at the Kek Lok Si temple.

Perfect Day in Penang - Our guide/driver Eng Seong was fabulous. He took us to great sites; was very knowledgeable about history; was very conversant in English; had a great sense of humor. He was perfect! He made this tour extra special for us. We particularly liked that He stayed with us all the way. No other guide has done that.. Everything was perfect. We only wish all our tours could have been this good

Great tour - The tour was great. So many nice things to see. Our guide Mr Lim was fabulous. He was very interesting and arranged the tour so we did not get the crowds. He was very kind and thoughtful and gave us a good insight into Penang life.

More like a driver than tour guide - My tour guide drove us to the scenes and bought tickets as advertised. But he gave little introduction to the visited scenes. He left us at the gates of most scenes.

No Penang for You! - We received an email the night before the tour that the tour operator overbooked and cancelled our spots on the tour. The booking still showed active in the app so it was confusing. I had to call viator customer service to initiate a refund. We were lucky to book an excursion at the last minute from our cruise ship.
