Tony was a fabulous guide and catered the tour to us with two young children and minimal walking. He was great with his local knowledge and had fabulous English. He was prompt and easy to find at the port. His car was clean and very well presented. We loved it, thanks.

We loved every moment of this tour! Aldrin was a wonderful guide who deserves 10 stars. He made sure we saw the sights specific to the tour, plus others of interest that we never would have known about or had time to see. He was knowledgeable, kind, well-prepared and considerate of my husband and me. Penang is a wonderful place with so many beautiful sites. We loved the various temples, Kek Lok Si, the funicular, the old town and murals...I could go on and on. Aldrin went above and beyond for us, and assured we had a great visit to Penang. Thank you, Aldrin! Don't hesitate to book this tour. We had an excellent experience.
