Ashline was right on time outside the pier and we enjoyed a full day visiting Penang. My husband had worked there in the early 2000 and was very happy showing me areas where he worked or stayed. We covered the entire area between Entopia, Kek Lok Si and Chew Jetty, and as a bonus made a quick stop on the new bridge linking Penang and Andaman Island. After chatting with her, she recommended a Batik Factory for us to stop by to the west of Battu Ferringhi and we enjoyed a private tour and demonstration of the fabrication process, along with a productive and unrushed shopping experience. We also experienced chaotic Armenian Street and very much enjoyed the Street Art. This is an excellent day activity to book and Ashline is an excellent guide with a comfortable car and excellent English.

Jackie is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our day visiting Buddhist temples, Penang hill, Georgetown and Chew Jetty. Didn’t realize how the time went by so fast.

Our guide Timothy was fantastic! Being a flexible tour we understood we wouldn’t see everything listed in the suggested itinerary so the recommendations and local knowledge of our guide were so helpful to see as much as we did whilst working around the weather. Timothy squeezed a lot in for us to see, and as advised we did pay for some entrance fees separately. Only constructive feedback is to get and understanding of how much we might like to spend on lunch, as although delicious we spent more than intended. Timothy has the best personality for this work and ensured we had a memorable time visiting the sites of Penang.

Our guide/driver was Joey. His English was quite good. His driving was also very good. He had a good lunch recommendation. He took lots of pictures that he shared with us thru What’s App.

We were the luckiest to get Margaret as our guide! What a wonderful person she is! I hurt my back two days before and wanted to do acupuncture. She found a clinic, booked my appointment and then she and my friend explored a bit of Georgetown while I was getting treated. She took us to temples, a historic mansion, Penang Hill, Chew Jetty and around Georgetown! She was so knowledgeable and friendly. We had front door drop-off service everywhere we went which was so needed given how hot it was! We 10/10 recommend her especially if you are a woman/women traveling. What a gem!

The driver/tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond making sure he understood what we wanted, and made sure to allow us to experience everything. And he taught us many historical things, beyond what you would know just touring by yourself. Van was good. Driver was on time and professional.

Jeff was waiting for us, on time, at the start of the tour and quickly whisked us off through the busy streets. On our way to the first scheduled stop Jeff gave us a tour of a local neighbourhood, to show us how the locals live. Jeff is an expert in all things flora and forna, so provided a fascinating commentary on what the locals grow in their gardens. We journeyed to a huge temple where Jeff provided insightful info on the meaning of the internal decorations, symbols and showed us all the best bits of the huge complex. Then we went to the botanic gardens, via the funicular railway and walked the tree top walk. Again Jeff knew the best vantage points and what to look out for. After that were toured the downtown canny street art, and Limm jetty, a stilt shanty town. We finally went back to our ship via Clan houses, a peak into historic feudal living. Jeff was the best tour guide we encountered on our whole trip to Asia…ask for him if you are doing this trip.

Mr. Law provided us with an excellent tour of Penang. He provided the cultural background and historical importance at each visited site. He also pointed out all the different religious sites indicating the society provided freedom of religion for all backgrounds. We gained an appreciation for the diverse cultures. We really enjoyed Penang hill and the venicular ride down. He was able to get seats right at the front of the first carriage so we could get great photos. All in all our tour was wonderful. We highly recommend Mr. Law
