5.00Easy flat 6 mile route on proper paths with informative guide Eddie through fishing village and countryside on the western side of Penang. Great to get away from Georgetown and see a quieter side of Penang and local life.
Easy paced ride through the Malaysian countryside

5.00Very enjoyable morning ride with our guide Eddie. Pick up from my hotel was on time. Ride was through a scenic rural environment on track or quiet roads which were flat. Eddie was extremely knowledgeable about the local economy and explained trends in Malaysian agriculture and society. Having missed breakfast I appreciated the stop for snacks and drinks. Small group of riders.
A very good tour

5.00This is an excellent tour. The guide is very well informed and provides some very insights into life Penang and Malaysia in general. The bicycles are basic, however more than adequate for the tour.
Just relaxing

5.00Beautiful experience, which allows you to discover the hinterland in an original and non-invasive way. A real joy to pedal between the forests of palm trees crowded with monkeys. Our guide, TC, was fantastic, very kind and very interesting. The only part we didn’t like was visiting the farm, which is a kind of zoo, with animals locked up in a sordid way. Everything else was great, we were a small group of 8, which was ideal. We highly recommend this activity.
Great time & easy level riding

West side of Penang Island

5.00On the western side of Penang Island there was abundant nature and the livelihood of the people living in the area. Recommended for those who want to get through the traffic and congestion on the east side and get an Asian feel. I also learned a lot about Malaysia's agricultural products and economy from my guide, Audie, who explained it well.
