Our tour guide Josh was amazing. Our parents do not speak English so he gave our tour in Cantonese. He was very knowledgeable and extremely considerate of the things my family was interested in and physical limitations in our group. To save us extra walking, he would go back to the car himself and drive right up to us. His food recommendations were very popular with my family. It was an enjoyable experience and a great way to see and learn about historic spots in Penang. Highly recommend this to any tourists that want a fun activity without any hassle. Thanks, Josh!

Despite the pouring rain, we had a wonderful tour. Our tour guide Josh really helped look after our kids and explained everything in a manner that engaged them. We weren’t sure if the kids would last the six hours but they were actually wanting to stay longer at the end of it
