Nothing a Taxi drive around town. The guide was just a taxi driver. Too expensive than hiring a taxi.

Our driver, Carol Lee, was excellent and got us to all the key destinations in the itinerary—and more—very efficiently and explained things very well. Would definitely use her services again when in Penang! We had a great day thanks to her.

We were picked up by Gashen at the Cruise Terminal at Penang. He spoke excellent English and was extremely knowledgeable. He took us all round Penang showing and explaining perfectly a the major sites. He was one of the best guides we have had. We had a really interesting tour and he finally dropped us off back at the Cruise Terminal. We would recommend this Tour as excellent.
