  • A rich and in-depth tour of George Town culture. 豐富有深度的檳城文化導覽

    With the introduction of our tour guide Tiger, I learned about the diverse culture and history of Penang. Starting from the City Hall, passing Fort Cornwallis, the Clock Tower, to the Guanyin Temple, Penang Street Houses and Little India, we have walked through the development of George Town. What I found interesting after arriving in Penang is that the local "street names" have different names depending on the culture. It's great to see different cultural groups retain their own cultures and respect each other. 此次參加檳城文化導覽,在導遊Tiger的介紹下,瞭解了檳城多元文化與歷史的軌跡。沿路從市政廳出發,經由Fort Cornwallis、鐘塔、到觀音廟、檳城街屋及小印度,走過喬治城的發展。 來到檳城覺得很有趣的地方是當地的「路名」會依各個文化有不同名稱,從這小細節,都可以感受到,各文化族群對自己文化的保存,與對其他文化的包容,覺得非常難得。

  • Amazing historical walking tour.

    Tiger is fantastic. He is so passionate about Penang history and goes out if his way to make the tour fun with lots of anecdotes to compliment the history. You can tell that he loves what he does. Can absolutely recommend a tour with Tiger.

    Tiger has a great passion for history, both local and global. He did a fantastic job of contextualizing the story of Georgetown into the larger global political and religious landscape of the time, illustrating that story with several stops around town. You will see religious buildings from Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism; traditional neighborhoods from the early British, Chinese, Indian, and Malay citizens; and even learn about the six-meals-a-day (!) habits of modern Penangites through a stop at a local food cart. If you want to really experience the history of Georgetown, then definitely don’t miss this tour!
