I booked this tour, no one picked me up. The help telephone no indicated for help does not work. No explanation, no service. THIS IS A RIP OFF SAVE YOUR MONEY

Mohammed was a really good guide - 5 stars for him. Unfortunately, the tour he was assigned to give was not what we expected or wanted. The walking tour was only the 1st half of the tour. The other half was being driven outside of Georgetown to the shops that sell only to tourists where we felt pressured to buy things - batik, white coffee, chocolate and finally... amber (that we didn't buy). It's too bad because the walking tour was interesting. We enjoyed walking out onto the jetty and seeing some of the street art.

Our tour guide Ang was our tour guide for the Penang Heritage Walking tour. He showed us Penang through the eyes of a local with great experience about what Penang had to offer from a historical perspective. I would certainly recommend to book Ang for this tour to learn more about beautiful Penang
