A great tour

5.00This 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.
Holiday of a lifetime

5.00Definitely worth a visit. Buy the fast track passes. So much history and so much to see. Recommend going early morning to miss the masses.
Expensive
