Great day out - Would recommend this trip - very easy enjoyable cycle with a number of interesting stops, and our guide gave us a lot of insightful information. We were dropped off at the Fruit Farm instead of going back to Georgetown and then used a Grab taxi to go on to the Spice Garden - both also recommended. Made for a great day out.

Enjoyable Malaysia Daytrip - Early morning rise was so worthwhile. Driver arrived promptly and provided useful insight on island life. Bicycles weren't fanciest but good-enough for our flat land excursion. Tour guide was knowledgeable - just recommend he direct his sharing (i.e., his voice/speech) to entire group rather than just a few (scattered) participants. Could be rectified by positioning himself in front of larger group at each stop and asking all to gather bikes around him so we could all hear.

Nice cycling tour. Love it! - I enjoyed the cycling tour a lot. The tour guide, Eddie, was very knowledgeable and funny. He shared with us a lot of local knowledge about Penang and Malaysia. During the tour, we stopped by Palm Trees farm, visited an old fishing village and an animal farm. We also had a yummy home made ice cream. The whole tour was around 4.5 hours, including pick up and drop off. According to my iPhone/ Strava, we cycled around 10km in 2.5 hours, so it was an easy cycling tour. The pace was very suitable for everyone. I recommend this tour for anyone who wants to explore the countryside of Penang!

Great countryside and great guide - Lovely people, great guide who gave us lots of snippets of interesting information on our ride. The bikes are not great but they all worked, and the guide was able to fix/adjust those bikes that had any trouble.

Interesting and different - Generally, I liked the tour, had a great experience and thoroughly enjoyed cycling around the area. The people who run it are very polite and accommodating. I’m only giving 4 stars because I would have preferred for the tour to be a bit more informative giving more insights to the locals’ everyday life. Nevertheless, I would really recommend it!
