Disappointing Half Day Georgetown Tour

3.00Disappointing half day tour Unfortunately very let down by our guide whose English was very very difficult to understand at most times so we never felt like we got the most out of a tour which wasn't cheap There wasn't very clear timings given at each stop, which then did not help with the guide calling us each time to find out where we were, even though we asked each time how long we had Very rushed time at Kek Lok Si Temple which was disappointing Definitely recommend Penang Hill but more time here would be good
Great experience :)

5.00My tour ended up being a private tour experience with Azmel as my driver and guide. Azmel was super friendly, very knowledgeable and very respectful. Because it was just me, we were able to tailor the experience a bit more whereby I could determine the amount of time at each location. It was a great way to see some lovely temples and sites around Penang. Azmel shared a lot of information and history throughout the day. Highly recommended.
Great Day

5.00We would highly recommend this tour. It is a great way to see parts of Penang that are not easily accessible by foot. Mr Ong was a great guide. He was friendly and informative. His car was comfortable and air conditioned. The trip up to Penang Hill Station by funicular was particularly good and we would recommend The Habitat biosphere jungle walk up there. The Thai Buddhist temple was also particularly beautiful and restful. Thank you for a lovely day, Mr Ong.
