I learned a lot about Penang and he took me to interesting stops which I enjoyed but initially was surprised I was on my own at stops. I wished we had been able to stop or pullover to be able to get photos especially of Georgetown. I managed to get only a couple of shots from moving car.
Wonderful day

I had a wonderful day seeing the sites in beautiful Penang. My tour guide Josh was excellent and very knowledgeable of the island and the history of the temples. Every aspect of the outing was seemless and well organized. Highly recommend.
