The tour was scheduled to last 3 hours and it actualy lasted nearer 5 so it was great value for money. We saw a lot of the island that morning and gave us a basic tour we could then go on and do ourselves. We had a very good guide who was very knowledgeable and never rushed the tour along.

The tour guide was an excellent guide and he was very good in communicating and made us happy.The shopping trip to the Batik printing was very expensive!

I usually do not do package tours, but was pleasantly surprised with this tour company. Kudos to our guide, he was a fantastic tour guide who barely left a pause in his dialogue. This was a really nice, informative round-the-island tour. Yes, of course there were touristy stops where shopping was encouraged, but we didn't feel any pressure to make purchases. My only suggestion would be to skip the duty-free jewelery stop towards the end. The Batik Making and Rubber Tree taping were really nice to see as were the demonstration of all the different locally grown spices.

This is a useful introductory tour allowing you to see quickly some key places in Penang. Actually, Batik Factory might be replaced by Sleeping Buddha and Penang Bridge could be shown better! Not on the road but from a good viewing point!

It's a sales trip, don't forget to bring enough money to spend your day in shopping stores.

Very pleasant tour, but be sure to be ready at least a half hour before pickup time as they always seem to arrive early.

Was very enjoyable. A good tour to do if you don't have much time. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that I had to pay RM5 to get into the animal enclosure at the snake temple. This was not mentioned when booking the tour. Jewellery factory is interesting but very expensive to buy anything.

Couple of shopping stops was a bit of a dampener. I can't fathom why Georgetown is not included in the itinerary. The guide was quite knowledgeable. Snake Temple is quite incredible.

It does give you a general view of the city and what it has to offer.

I was the only person on that afternoon and was served by a very nice guide. He advised me after I told him what I want to see. His service is excellent. And I also appreciate the travel agency still providing service to customers even though there was only one traveller to join the tour.
