Private Tour: Full Day Center Penang Island Tour
Peter is our guide and he picked us up on time. What I like is that we were able to dictate what we want to see and he was very patient with us. He was able to answer most of our questions and if he does not know it, he looked it up and get back to us. We recommend this tour if you are new to Penang Island..

A good mixture of Penang sights
Our guide was Mohammad who was very friendly and knowledge. The tour covered a good mixture of the local sights. Overall we were very pleased with the tour. There was just one small issue which spoilt it a bit and hence the 4 stars rather than 5. When we asked about the best place for lunch he said he could take us to a good indian restaurant for lunch (we had said we liked Indian) what wasn’t clear was that it was at the end of the day at 17.30 ! So we kept hanging on for our “lunch” stop and it kept on being after the next place, and then after the next place. We would have grabbed some quick food earlier in the tour had we known we wouldn’t be eating until 17.30 by which time I had had a thumping headache for 2 hours and didn’t enjoy the last 2 stops to the full. So I would recommend you clarify exactly what time the lunch stop will be because M was still referring to it being lunch despite it being after 17.30 ! An easily avoidable situation with clearer communication..

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..

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..

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..
