Highlights
  • Penang Hill - Since the British first settled here, they had always yearn for respite from the depressing heat, thus they set sight on the highest peak in Penang i.e. Penang Hill or locally known as Bukit Bendera. They built a railway up the hill and bungalows for retreat during weekend. Here we can see the legacy of the bungalows left behind by the British beside experiencing a colder climate compared to lowland. See 360 degree view of George Town, Love Lock, Ginger Garden and monkeys!

A wonderful way to see many sights in one day - Excellent communication from the tour company after booking to inquire about the things I was interested in doing. After I responded they matched me with a guide who was the most suitable for my interests. C. E. was wonderful to spend the day with. She is a Penang Island native and could add a great deal of history and perspective to her explanations of the sights. She knew all of the back ways and got us through traffic and into parking areas that made the day run efficiently. I got a great overview of the sights of Penang in the one day and I look forward to returning.

Fun day in Penang - My first time in Penang and CE, my tour guide was very friendly and I learned a lot from her. I particularly love the Penang hill, the street arts as well as the Kek Lol Si and green mansion. It was a relaxing and fund day with CE.

Worth the money - We had a great time. Our guide, Jeff See was excellent. He’s well-prepared and informative. We especially enjoyed the Batik Factory, Entopia and the street art in George Town. This tour is very private and tailored to our needs. I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

A must have tour - We had a very exiting day full of decent views and places with Lester our guide. He was very nice and gave us so many informations and insights to all the places we visited. At the end of the day he sent us a link to all the pictures and movies he made of us at the stops. Great memories to watch and to show back home. We asked for a food recommendation for dinner. So he took us to a Hoka Food Market with some of the best local food, we had so far.

Perfect way to see Penang Island - This was a tour for myself and my wife. Our guide Josh contacted us 24 hours before the tour. He arrived 15 minutes early at 9.45am but told us to take our time in joining him. He had a lovely spacious new air conditioned car for the two of us. We had a great day visiting many sites and Josh was very helpful in agreeing the itinerary. He took us to one of the local restaurants he goes to for lunch - we were the only westerners there. Good food and drinks were less than £4 a person. He dropped us back at our hotel at 6.15pm after a memorable day and he WhatsApp’d us the photos he’d taken of the two of us at various locations during the day. Can’t really fault the tour or his service. We’ll done Josh!

The journey and guide were excellent - English/Arabic/Kurdish and Dutch This is an excellent way to explore the country and gain a wealth of knowledge in a short period of time.

Great complete day. - Very enjoyable. Guide drove is safely everywhere we asked to go. Only discussion was about time required. He explained where we were and facts about each stop. He made every effort to make us happy even providing water when none was required. He even took us out of his way to see the upside down house. Really could have been better.

A lovely tour - We had a fantastic tour around Penang with Josh. Andy set up the trip with us beforehand ensuring that he put together an itinerary that suited our needs. We were met promptly off the cruise ship and and taken for a great day out around Penang with Josh as our driver/guide. He was very friendly and infomative and gave us a great insight in Penang. Thank you Josh!
