I loved the experience of seeing George Town while learning about its diverse community and remarkable history. For me having na guide made all the difference as I heard stories about place as ai was seeing them and had an opportunity to ask questions. I particularly liked seeing the mosques during Ramadan and hearing about Penang Chinese customs while in secret society locales and magnificent homes. Muhammad was a superb guide.

Terrific experience with our guide. He arrived at the hotel to meet us early. He showed us historical sites and explained the history behind what we were seeing. He was generous with his time and interesting to be with. He changed track and moved from walking to driving when one of us experiences some difficulties with the heat. I highly recommend this walking tour.
