VIP visit to Orangutans
The real gold of this tour is the orangutan. The tour guide Jackie made us feel like a VIP compared to those who went without a tour guide or even those with other tour guides. He took us away from the crowds, gave us exclusive experience because of his knowledge. The Georgetown tour was okay but we were quite tired from travel and it’s very busy, felt a little rushed on this section of the tour.

Great day experiencing Penang cultural wonders!
Mr Joey was a fantastic driver - arrived on time, clean car, very hospitable to show us around beautiful Penang in particular the Kek Lok Si Temple followed by a lovely local lunch at a local hawker stall.
En route home we visited the local Batik Factory - the management team showing exactly how they are made by hand.
Finishing the day with coffee and cake to celebrate my birthday ... what a wonderful day that we will remember for a long time.

We booked this tour after doing a similar back of a bike experience in Saigon. It did not disappoint! Jacky and Din were absolutely fantastic. Super experienced riders who took us to local spots and made sure we got to enjoy food like a Penang local. Highly recommend, especially for a first night in Penang/George Town, to try the local cuisine.

Good variety of experiences
Jeff was our driver/guide for the day and he was excellent - he picked us up promptly and we asked to deviate from the standard tour and see some specific sights, which was no problem - we visited the Goddess of Mercy temple, a couple of local villages, Kek Lok Si Temple, Penang Hill, and ended with a walk around the Armenian Street area of Georgetown. Jeff accompanied us as we walked around, and was able to tell us all about the things we were seeing and the buildings we were walking in/through - his knowledge was amazing1
Highly recommend this trip - it can be varied, from the calmness in the hills to the hustle and bustle of Georgetown - and the itinerary can be flexible if required. If you get Jeff as your guide you will definitely get lots of valuable insights and information.

Not to be missed
The boat departure point for the island is Bukit Merah Laketown Resort, which was about an hour's drive away from Georgetown (from being picked up at 8am). The boat runs on a schedule so we did have to wait about half an hour once we arrived at the departure point, but that time was easily filled by going into the small visitor centre they have there. The boat ride is only a few minutes and you get about an hour on the island itself. A resident warden/guide took us around, telling us stories about the Orang-utans and the conservation work. Our guide Ronnie also accompanied us, he tried to entice the animals nearer with fruit bribes! - he is an experienced guide and knows the individual Orang-utans and their personalities.
This was an amazing trip, well worth doing. Ronnie in particular was a great guide, we learnt a lot from him during the trip about Penang and Malaysia in general, not just about the Orang-utans. Highly recommended.
Also recommend that you take some mosquito/insect spray with you!

Do yourself a HUGE favor- book it!!
Incredible experience! You will try many local dishes that are nothing short of amazing and that you most likely wouldn’t have tried otherwise on your own. We travel quite a bit and do food tours all over the world - this easily ranks in the top two. Our guide Sandy was beyond amazing. It was my husbands birthday and she made it so awesome - had him experience a traditional Chinese birthday, everyone sang to him and he got a piece of Duran (local fruit (yuck)) cake.

Great trip with Eddie and Henry
This was such a fun activity. We went at the pace the group wanted. Excellent transport to and from the venue (with a very kind detour, suggested by Henry our driver so some of the group got to visit another attraction). Eddie our guide was brilliant - good at explaining things we saw. His sense of humour was amazing. I'd highly recommend this activity 👌

Food and culture
They are the cutest couple running this cooking class. You start the day off in the market meeting some amazing shop owners, have breakfast and then will
Make your way to the cooking class where you will learn to make some delicious Chinese Malay dishes. Mrs.Amy is so cute. I loved learning the history of the people and making the dishes. Definitely worth it.

A great tour with a wide range of food and a great way to see and experience the historic Penang. Junie was wonderfully knowledgeable about both the food and the history of Penang, and she had genuine relationships with many of the vendors, which only enhanced the experience.

Simply exceptional!
Simply exceptional! Our guide Danny, is the most amazing man, truly such a nice person. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. Five stars is not enough. A great private tour and you learn so much. My partner Vivianne and I would highly recommend this tour and if you can, ask for Danny. To Danny, many, many thanks for the tour and all your kindness. Truly appreciated!

My friend and I had a Full Day Flexi Private Tour in Penang Island with our tour guide Jackie. He picked us up from the hotel on time, asked us about our preferences and made sure he covered everything we wanted to see.
He was very informative about all the places we visited snd I would highly recommend him as a tour guide and happily use his service again.

Highly recommended private tour
Our guide for the day was Mr. Josh Lim. He was very knowledgeable about Penang and the Malaysian culture. Our tour included all of the best things to see and do in Penang. We appreciated having a guide who was able to translate and assist when needed. We highly recommend this tour.
