Pros: Our driver was on time, opened doors and was friendly. He offered water and was flexible. He even pointed out his childhood school as we drove by. Cons: This is not a typical guided tour. It feels more like a knowledgeable taxi driver that drops you off at highlights and picks you up when you are ready. The tour didn’t follow a schedule, so we didn’t see as much as we had hoped. Unfortunately, we didn’t receive five hours either. He left after three and a half. At one point, we waited almost 20 minutes for a pickup. Two of the sites in the description were not even mentioned nor were we given the option to visit them. We expected more.

This is a great personal tour to take while in Penang as it covers both fun, history, street art and food and drink. The visit to the Upside Down Museum was really enjoyable. Our driver Alan was an excellent and knowledgeable guide.

This was a relaxed tour filled with amazing things to see and do. The Tropical Spice Garden was a serene encounter with nature that shared information in a fun way. Following this with the visit to Entopia was a real contrast. We were amazed by the magnitude of the display and the depth of detail presented in such an enjoyable way. Overall our tour with Pesona and Mr Ong as our driver/guide was a Penang Island experience we will remember with pleasure.
Spice & something nice.

An informal wedding at the Spice Gardens & the beautiful butterflies at the Butterfly Farm. Perhaps less merchandising at the Butterfly Farm would have been welcome.
Amazing tour

Nice bug experience. I think younger children would get more out of entopia than our older ones. I feel the place needs more butterflies 🦋 but has a nice balance of other insects and reptiles . Overall a good experience. Tickets probably slightly over priced for what you get .
Fun & educational

I don’t like butterflies and insects but still managed to enjoy this place. There weren’t that many butterflies around as it had just rained. Fun for kids too!
