Tiger was the most amazing informative guide driving me between the chosen landmarks and attractions. His in depth knowledge of history and his passion for the job that he loves leaves me in no doubt he made the right decision to change career to carry on in tourism as a licensed guide. I thoroughly recommend the tour.

🐯 Tiger picked us up at the cruise port and dropped us off there after we finished our tour. He communicated with me in advance of the tour, so there was never any confusion. My husband and I had a wonderful day with 🐯 Tiger in Penang. We saw the public art in George Town and learned a lot about the colonial days in Penang. We also had a wonderful time up on the Penang Hill after riding the pannicular to the top. 🐯 Tiger’s English is very easily understood and he is a true professional guide. He did a great job of explaining the different areas of Penang, life in Penang, and brought the history alive for us. I would recommend 🐯 Tiger unconditionally.

Tger asked what we were hoping to get out of the day. We explained that as we were based in Georgetown we could see everything that was in walking distance by ourselves. As we are interested in the history and culture we decided to see many temples, during our day we did Penang Hill first and the funicular railway. Then Ken Lok Si temple , the reclining Buddha and then many other temples. He explained the formation of each religion and the explained things clearly and in an understandable way so that that we could learn all we needed to. Ended at the Botanical Gardens that are beautiful. We would recommend Tger to all.
