What are people saying about Penang

Great scenery, leisurely pace.
Nice to get out of the hustle and bustle of Penang and see some countryside. Although thought of getting up so early on holiday was initially off putting, the tour was so worth it. Great guide and plenty of stops along way. Ride was leisurely which gave time to enjoy the scenery.

Absolutely Best Excursion!
This was the best tour! If you have the opportunity to do this, ask for Chrys to be your guide! We were on a cruise and she communicated with us, directed where to meet, and adjusted our schedule on the go. We arrived a bit later than expected and she adjusted our tickets for the Orang Utan. She was well organized, kind, and the entire trip felt like I was touring with a friend.
Once at the Orang Utan island, she brought food to entice the orangutans and even got us special treatment.
The entire day was informative and fun!! Highly recommend this day excursion

Excellent tour guide
Mr. Law provided us with an excellent tour of Penang. He provided the cultural background and historical importance at each visited site. He also pointed out all the different religious sites indicating the society provided freedom of religion for all backgrounds. We gained an appreciation for the diverse cultures. We really enjoyed Penang hill and the venicular ride down. He was able to get seats right at the front of the first carriage so we could get great photos. All in all our tour was wonderful. We highly recommend Mr. Law

Penang Hill and Temple tour
Simon our driver was very good. He was very knowledgeable of all the different histories and explained everything on the tour. The trip to Penang Hill was very interesting. Loved the view from the top and highly recommend the tour. We went to many temples and really did enjoy experiencing different cultures.

Excellent tour to try amazing food and learn about the history of George Town
We absolutely loved this tour. Our guide, Mint, was great and took us to taste a lot of different spots, sharing a lot of information about the foods and the history of George Town itself. The amount of food is big, so we recommend skipping lunch to make room for all that delicatessen. We actually came back to some of the spots after the tour. The only thing to point out is that the tour is expensive compared to the local prices of the food itself.

Teh is remarkable as a tour guide/driver in Penang
Our driver and guide Teh was remarkable. The most thorough and personal tour we have experienced with our shire excursions. We gained deep insight into Penang, its culture, people and evolution. We visited key sites relevant to our interests arriving back to the ship safely.

Absolutely fantastic...
Absolutely fantastic experience, started with a market tour and tried a few local dishes (they will tell you to come hungry - take the advice!), then learned to cook a lot of local dishes. Learned loads about the history and culture throughout, absolutely wonderful hosts! Really recommend this class ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best food tour ever
This is the best food tour ever! The guide, Grace was fantastic and the food was mostly delicious except for some dishes that were a little strange to us. Walking tour but not extensive. Do not eat breakfast because it's a lot of food. I would not miss this tour!

Great way to sample Penang
Travelling with friends we found this great alternative way to see and experience Penang Island … which we can’t recommend enough.
We all rode pillion with 4 experienced riders and even the nervous were confident with taking photos as we went along in the end.
The food experience was brilliant with 5 spaced out stops at some authentic (well chosen and safe) local/street food locations.
If you’re up for an adventure - give it a go !

Delicious and Informative
We had a great experience. Handy being picked up. The cooking & dining location was lovely and fresh. The market visit was enjoyable, we watched Chef Samuel do his thing. Totally different market from any other market we had seen. The cooking was great (thank you Chef Samuel) and the meals we created totally delicious.

Highlights of Penang
Excellent day, best part was the trip to Penang Hill and The Habitat, could easily spend half a day there alone. Would thoroughly recommend. Our guide KT was one of the most experienced in Penang and had spent years in the hospitality industry, a consummate professional!
