Awesome day in Penang with Ernest
Thom T,,Dec 27, 2025

5.00We went to all the places we wanted to see plus the different types of socio-economic housing and a stop at an Indian restaurant for a white coffee and naan. He had lots of interesting facts. He drives a van so it was easy to get into and out of at stops. Easy to understand, excellent English. I would rate him 7 stars if I could.
Brilliant day out with a fantastic and professional guide

5.00Ernest is a fantastic guide. He drove us around for the day to see some of the key sites in Penang, based on what we wanted to do. He is knowledgeable, engaging and entertaining! We had so much fun we did a second tour the following morning to visit the Orangutans! The car is super comfortable and he accommodated my mother’s accessibility needs too (she has a walking stick). Also amazing at taking photos of us!

5.00What a wonderful tour experience. Joey was a wonderful tour guide/driver. Unlike most he would drop off at whatever we were going to see then go park and walk back rather than have us walk more . Showed us many great sites/places we never knew of. For the Penang Hill train he bought us VIP Penang Hill train tickets that got us to sit right in front and saved us so much time as we went to the front of the line. He knows what to do ahead of time and even without us asking. Took us to a nice authentic place for lunch away from tourist. He made our one day in Penang very memorable. I highly recommend him.
Flexible tour

5.00Great experience in Georgetown with our guide Josh. Queue for penang hill funicular was too long and express queue very expensive, so Josh was flexible to fit in other sights like blue mansion and chew jetty. Great tour and we recommend for those who have limited time in Penang port
Great tour guide!

5.00She impressed us with all the top things we must see when in Penang, and provided us with the information that help us extend the explorations after the short tour. She did take care of us all the way. I’d like to recommend this trip and Peggy.
Wonderful Penang guided by Ms Peggy

5.00My husband and I were on a 6-hour guided tour by Ms Peggy Goh on 24Sep2025. What a lovely & wonderful day made possible by our tour guide Ms Peggy. She is very experienced, knowledgeable and professional. She showed us the highlights of Georgetown, Penang hill, Kek Lok Si. She brought us to lunch to delicious food at food centre well known to locals but tourists like us would not be aware. Both Mr & me thoroughly enjoyed yourselves 🥳 This tour and guide is also highly recommended for anyone, even for cruise passengers who have limited exploration time
