Md. Firdauz is an excellent tour guide. He provides you insight and history of buildings, roads, and places along your journey. He's very knowledgeable of Penang and it's history! He also brought us to many other places not on our itinerary. Definitely an excellent tour and highly recommend this tour with Md.

We had a great half day tour with tour guide Ash. He picked us up from our hotel in a nice clean comfortable air con car. As it was tomb sweeping day - we went to visit the temples first to avoid the crowd. Then we visited the Chew jetty, Khoo khongsi n Peranakan Museum. Ash was knowledgeable and had the balance of history info and trivia. He even took us to a local kopi tiam to have fried kway teow near our hotel which was excellent as we had some spare time. Overall a very good private tour .. thank you !

This trip was miss sold as a wheel chair accessible tour, that the driver was unfriendly and unhelpful and did not want to put my scooter in his car, also that he become hostile when i asked to be taken to other places of interest as the trip had only been for 2 hours at that point. The driver was very rude insisting that he needed to wash the tyres of my scooter after i spent some time in the market area. We didnt wash the soles of our feet?

Muhammad was an excellent guide! He was early to pick us up at our hotel, provided a fantastic tour with a thorough history of Penang and the various sites. I would highly recommend this tour!!!

After spending a lifetime as a school teacher and 7 years now as a tour guide, Cheam was so informed about Penang’s past and current trends it was like having an interactive Penang for Google. My parents and I asked a flurry of questions about the Malay, Chinese, Baba-Nonya, Peranakan, and Indian communities, she not only answered them intuitively, but with compassion for all sides and with a touch of humour. We spent more than the allotted time and she even took us to her favourite Laksa place, which we later found out was awarded a Michelin bib for two years running. Without a doubt one of the best tour experiences we’ve had. Not to be missed.
