5.00Very enjoyable cycle through the canal side paths and small lanes and learning some local history. You get some local delicacies to eat during the trip. This is in the more remote part of Penang that locals and tourists rarely visit. The ride was easy and flat.
Like riding through a nature supermarket

5.00Princilia was an amazing guide. We rode on quiet, flat narrow roads through small hamlets and were lucky to share how the locals live.
Warm as Sunshine ☺️

5.00I thought I was just going to cycle around Penang and see some of the countryside but never would I have thought that it would have been so eye opening! On this I learned all about the everyday life for farmers in Penang and saw how people live, work and socialise!
Do this tour!
