Amazing Tour Experience with Kevin!

Published on Feb, 2025

I had an incredible experience on this tour in Malaysia! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, informative, and enjoyable. Our guide, Kevin, was truly outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and full of interesting insights about the places we visited. Kevin went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged, answering all our questions and even sharing some local tips that made my trip even more special. The itinerary was well-paced, allowing plenty of time to explore and take in the stunning sights. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Malaysia. If you're lucky enough to have Kevin as your guide, you're in for a fantastic experience!

Great private tour in Penang

Published on Feb, 2025

Tour included tour guide and driver in a private van. The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and spoke great English. He worked with us to come up with a great itinerary. Our favorite sites were the funicular (train/tram) and the street art in George Town.

Exceptional Guide and Amazing Tour!

Published on Jan, 2025

This tour was an absolute delight! As a first-time visitor, I was a bit unsure about where to start, but our guide made everything so easy. They were incredibly friendly, patient, and full of fascinating stories about Penang’s history and culture. I especially appreciated how they explained the significance of each place we visited. From hidden gems to well-known landmarks, everything was thoughtfully planned to suit our interests. The flexibility of setting our own pace was such a relief—we never felt rushed. If it’s your first time in Penang, I highly recommend this tour!

Perfect tour!

Published on Dec, 2024

Tan was a perfect guide. The tour he provided was customisable, maximising what we can visit in Penang in limited time, though there were spots where we wish we could spend more time. In overall, we definitely would recommend this!

Great

Published on Nov, 2024

Amazing trip! Tan, our guide, set up the tour around what we wanted to see, shared tons of cool history, and took us to this awesome local lunch spot we’d never find ourselves. Super chill, knew his stuff. Definitely recommend!
