5.00Great tour of Penang countryside. Our guide Eddie was excellent. He was very informative & gave us a great insight into life in Malaysia. We had various stops at interesting sights and there were complimentary drinks & snacks on route. Definitely recommend.

5.00This was so much more than a cycling tour! We saw so many different parts of the Penang countryside, from coconut palm plantations, to fishing villages, to a goat farm! We learned so much about local history and culture, and got to sample some of that culture for ourselves along the way with delicious drinks and snacks. Our guide (Eddie!) was friendly, knowledgable, and enthusiastic from start to finish. I couldn't recommend it more!
Great scenery, leisurely pace.

5.00Nice to get out of the hustle and bustle of Penang and see some countryside. Although thought of getting up so early on holiday was initially off putting, the tour was so worth it. Great guide and plenty of stops along way. Ride was leisurely which gave time to enjoy the scenery. .
The half day Penang countryside bike tour was brilliant.

5.00The half day Penang countryside bike tour was brilliant. ‘Eddy’ was a top guide - informative and amusing. Got to see so much in a short space of time. Bikes were old, but perfectly usable. You don’t need to be particularly fit, as mostly flat surfaces and done at a leisurely pace.
Well-organized tour to the rural part of Penang

5.00This is probably the closest you can get to seeing rural life in Penang. You get explanations on production of palm oil, fishing and village life of the region. The animals at the goat farm were cute as well. My bicycle was in good order and comfortable.
Best experience in Penang

4.00Pick up from hotel was great, price for trip was good. We were only group of 4 together. Our tour guide was very informative and acknowledge. We had nice sunny day so it was great for cycling just whish it could be longer to cycle as I we were expecting long distance, but overall it was a great experience.
A sweet experience that I wish could have lasted longer!

5.00Pros: - Booked last minute and was admitted to the tour - The car drive to the location is not too long - The man who drove us to the location and the tour guide were both warm and welcoming people - Our tour guide was hilarious and engaging and provided us lots of useful info, never shying away from our numerous questions - The bikes were not professional ones but no one had any issues at all - There were numerous activities: we visited a palm plantation, a fishing village where we also had breakfast, a farm where we were able to see a rubber tree and feed different kind of animals (plus enjoy some ice cream!) - I met lots of lovely people from all over the world - The bike ride is not challenging, on the contrary it is very enjoyable Cons: - The only con I can think of is that the tour is too short :) I would have loved to explore the area even more and for a longer time! We got back to Georgetown shortly before 12:00 pm. I'd gladly pay more for a longer tour. All in all I absolutely recommend this tour!
