Sedate tour of George Town

semplegraeme, Jun 2024

Very good tour to see some top sites and to orientate you if you are new to George Town. Several other tours do not include the fort which I think is essential if you have an interest in the colonial history. Our driver was 4th generation Penang and was very knowledgeable and obviously proud of his hometown which made for good conversation.
