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.

5.00Nice relaxed countryside cycle. Loved how we were just out among fields and little villages. Great way to spend the morning. Easy cycling and breeze keeps you coolish. Best bit the fishing village. Not so fussed on the pet farm
Great fun and value! Awesome host

5.00Just 4 of us on this trip with Eddie our guide. As others have said he is funny & knowledgeable. Bikes are functional & safe for the 10k we travelled on flat, mainly tarmac paths with occasional roads (but not much traffic) water is provided plus snack & drink in village cafe & ice cream from the goat farm. You learn a lot from Eddie about the local way of life. The Trip is good value for money. Only negative is the early start - 7.20 pick up from Batu Ferringhi. But on the plus side we were back for 11.30.
Great morning activity

5.00Loads of information about the local area and delivered by TC in a fun way. TC was a great guide and highly recommend for anyone to do this. Fantastic ice cream at the goat farm and heaps of animals that you can feed. Make sure you check the friendly emu.

5.00Eddy was fantastic. He is able to deliver great information about the Malaysian people and their way of life with humour allowing you to retain it. We were able experience coffee in a small fishing village and goat’s milk ice cream on the farm. Eddy is a great host and we recommend this tour!

5.00Eddie our guide was funny, informative and interesting. The landscape and food was perfect. It’s about a five mile easy ride with several informative stops. We even stopped for a light brunch followed by ice cream at our last stop.
