This experience is well worth the money, we expected a small tour group, but we were the only ones on our trip and had a driver/guide Govin to ourselves. His knowledge of Penang was incredible and when we were visiting the sites on the tour we never felt rushed so we could explore at our own pace (within reason). Penang Hill was a really good start to the tour and you get Express tickets on the funicular so you get the first train up and down. The Botanical gardens were beautiful and the temples we visited were awesome. Govin gave us a lot of background about the history and culture of George Town and we were able to get out and explore. Govin's driving was safe and courteous and we returned to our hotel tired but happy.

Sara our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. She told us about the whole of Penang and not just about our actual trip.

Great driver gave us an insight into Malaysian lifestyle. The cost of $175.00 for trip was over priced , then the boat trip to monkey beach was an extra MYR400

The driver was very personable and knowledgeable. The tour was 2.5 hours short though which left much to be seen. Very disappointing. Would recommend skipping thIs tour.

A comprehensive view with a highly educated tour guide. We will always cherish our time in penang. Georgetown, penang share many qualities like Georgetown, Guyana.
