Appreciated care & conern for preparing & providing what we wanted. They adapted both prior & during tour. Great tour & responsiveness We had wanted one highly written mansion & they recommended another & we are very thankful. The one they emended far exceeded the one we had read about..

Perfect way to see Penang

James_S, Jan 2026

A full on informative 6 hours We saw everything worth seeing and there is no way we could have done it without Tan’s expert guiding.

Penang walking tour

Stewart_K, Jan 2026

Ooi, gave us an experience to remember. He walked us around the old town pointing out how and why the British colonized the area. He showed us the different religion temples/churches and how they affect the modern city of Penang. He let us experience the diverse street foods and how the divers culture embraces each other’s tastes. And finally he walked us around the area known for its street art explaining why and what the artist trying to convey. Overall it was just what we were looking for, a time to remember.

Great customized tour

Sara_M, Dec 2025

As cruise passengers, we had limited time on shore and didn't want to risk a big group bus tour. This private tour service was a lifesaver. We booked the 4-hour slot, and the team was incredibly professional, picking us up promptly and maximizing every minute we had. Because it was customizable, we skipped the tourist traps we weren't interested in and went straight for the street art and the food! The driver knew all the shortcuts to avoid traffic, and our guide made sure we were back with plenty of time to spare. Our guide, Jane, was very knowledgeable and we particularly enjoyed the background she provided regarding Khoo Clan house and the mansion. Because we were interested in the street food, she took us to a very interesting food museum and then we went to the food market to sample the food. It was efficient, educational, and absolutely delicious. Don't hesitate to book this if you are on a tight schedule!

Wow what an experiance

Response from Host, Dec 2025

This was not a tour

Dee_R, Jul 2025

This was not a tour. We had a driver take us to 2 locations for a 4 hour tour. The only words uttered by him were "make sure you get back to the car by a particular time." I cant get my time back; but hoping I can get my money back.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the experience didn’t meet your expectations. Please note that the package you booked was a driver-only service, without a tour guide. This option is designed for guests who prefer flexibility without commentary, and it’s stated in the tour description. We appreciate your input and will work on making this clearer. If you'd like to discuss further, feel free to reach out to us directly.

Great private tour in Penang

JULIE_M, Feb 2025

Tour included tour guide and driver in a private van. The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and spoke great English. He worked with us to come up with a great itinerary. Our favorite sites were the funicular (train/tram) and the street art in George Town.
