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

Definitely 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

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
Wonderful Tour
