Penang 6 Hr Private Tour - It was a wonderful experience! Our driver went above and beyond taking us everywhere he could and telling us the history of each place. The local food was awesome too and he knew all of the non-touristy places to take us.

Excellent way to get to know Penang Island. - As a first time visitor to this lovely island of Penang, I wanted to see and learn as much as I could. I’m so very happy with my choice.. not only did I visit Penang Hill in the best possible way on the fast track and a front row seat, I learned so much about the culture and the people who built this wonderful city. My guide grew up here and probably knows this town as well as anybody and shared many cultural stories as she navigated the traffic like a pro. A six hour tour may sound like you see everything, but each stop along the way begs for a return as you could likely spend a day in each of the stops. This is an excellent way to get familiar with Penang Island. This trip isn’t about tourism for me. It’s about possible relocation and retirement.. This island has an energy to it, that is unlike your typical island vacation destinations, which can be kind of sleepy. And yes, there are large resorts here for that purpose. This is a vibrant city with fresh air, gorgeous views, and lovely people. My six hours flew by and fed my interest in living here. And clearly this is a food lovers paradise! I would highly recommend this be your first choice for a Penang tour as your fine spots that you’ll want to return to and yet satisfying if you only have a short stay. I’ve seen many videos on YouTube and other places of vloggers which drew me here to Penang Island, yet none of them do it justice. It’s so much better. I came here after a week in both Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, both interesting destinations , but Penang offers enough energy as a city with a resort like feel. If you are looking to get your bearings, the lay of the land and a sense of your destination - Penang, this is the way to go.

Our guide Law was great,... - Our guide Law was great, very informative kind and funny. However we couldn’t see all the sites mentioned in the itinerary as 6 hours wasn’t enough no fault of the guide. The travel time isn’t accounted for so we were disappointed as we had to do George Town, street art and Chew Jetty the next day. We managed to tick off the temples on this tour.
