5.00Really fun tour! Guide was super chill and told lots of cool stories about old Chinese clans and even some wild fights from back in the day. Saw hidden spots I’d never find by myself. Not too long, not boring at all. If you like history or just wanna see a different side of George Town, this one’s worth it.
