What are people saying about Penang

Amanda_B, Oct 2026

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. Amanda & Andrew

Bukit Merah Orang Utan and Penang City Private Tour

JamesL_M, Oct 2026

Great way to see orangutans and Penang old city.

Peggy our tour guide was excellent. She explained how the day would go before we left and kept the information going throughout the tour. The orangutans were fabulous. Their in house staff were fantastic explaining what they were doing for the orangutans on the island. Penny brought along food and drinks so we could feed the orangutans. We then went back to Penang for a tour of the Jetties and the old town. Can definitely recommend this tour.

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.

Penang: Flexible 6-Hours Highlights

TatWah_L, Sept 2026

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.

Orangutan (Orang Utan) Island Responsible Experience

TatWah_L, Sept 2026

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!

renata_n, Sept 2026

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 👌
