Our tour guide G-Shen was brilliant. He was waiting for us at the cruise ship terminal in a comfortable vehicle accommodating the 4 adults in our group. His knowledge & attention to us was great. We loved our visit to the temple, the jetty village, the street art, Georgetown, & the funicular ride. We all felt we had saw so much in our 4.5 hours with him. Highly recommend.

Beautiful tour of Penang. Driver Simon was very courteous, friendly & knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time. Went to see the sights & drove past colonial buildings which the guide explained for us. Even drove us to the beach. Would not hesitate to do this again.

Our guide had no itinerary & asked us what we wanted to do??? We settled on going to Penang Hill using the funicular railway, amazing views!!! We then went to Kek Lok Si Temple & were dropped at the top of the temple which had 2 other levels! Unfortunately we thought our guide would be at the main exit at the bottom level & waited over an hour for him, our husbands also went back to middle level but still didn’t find our guide, so it was a taxi back to centre of Penang & then back to ship. Our guide did send us a message saying he waited for us on the middle level so what happened we do not know!! Disappointing!
