Peter is our guide and he picked us up on time. What I like is that we were able to dictate what we want to see and he was very patient with us. He was able to answer most of our questions and if he does not know it, he looked it up and get back to us.
We recommend this tour if you are new to Penang Island.

My wife & I thoroughly enjoyed our day. As a mature couple our guide, Joseph, made sure we were at ease everywhere we went.
Joseph was excellent and very knowledgeable about Penang and it's history. He was flexible and very keen to make sure we saw what we wanted. I would highly recommend this trip.
