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!

Money Well Spent - Spent the day with Eng our assigned Tour Guide. Was a great day, money well spent as we would not have got to all the places we visited in one day. Was great that it was flexible as we had already spent 1 whole day in Penang and had been to a few sights of interest, so we chose the places we couldn't get to by vehicle and walked to the ones ourselves that were close by. Highlight was Penang Hill. We caught the funicular which was a quick and exhilarating ride up and down. Eng suggested we pay a bit extra to get to the front of the queue which was great advice as there were queues of people waiting which I suspect would have been for quite some time. Eng was very knowledgeable on all aspects of Penang, history, political system etc etc whatever, he had answers to everything so hence we learnt a lot about Malaysia. Definitely recommend this package

An unforgettable fun tour of Penang - Our guide, Jeff See, was very knowledgeable and personable. He took us to places we would never have thought to go in Penang, and we learned a lot about the history and culture. He also took great group shots of us and drove us wherever we wanted to go. We had so much fun! It was a wonderful experience! I recommend it to anyone interested in a personal tour of Penang.

A welcome circuit breaker for our conference. Fantastic experience. - Eng was amazing in terms of knowledge, making it fun, and being flexible. He got us in the fast line when too many people were waiting at key sites, which helped us save time for other places. His car was very comfortable, with first class and business class seating :-) A great day out for the whole group.

Lovely day out - Our guide, Jeffrey, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and also patient when we took a while in the batik factory! We saw old things and new things, historical and natural features of Penang. He was ready with a wealth of stories about the places we visited. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Day Trip - We had fun and learnt more about Penang since this is our first trip here (except for hubby who has been there for work trip a couple of time). Our guide Leister did a good job bringing us around, according to our requests. Will be bringing my mom the next round and will engage the service again. Thanks!

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.
