5.00Our driver G-Shen was amazing, so very knowledgeable. Nothing was too much - if we wanted to spend more or less time somewhere, he even accommodated my request to stop in a location not on the actual tour.
Absolutely Brilliant!

5.00Our guide mr Ronnie ranjit was very knowledgeable and we had a good trip with him where he brought us around to all the spots and alerted us on some hacks on where to sit to get beautiful shots on the funicular down from Penang hill. He also gave us a historical perspective on George Town.
