5 star rating: Highly Recommended January 2013

extremely informative and a pleasant afternoon in penang.laurence was very good guide and explained many things to his group.also did the island discovery with laurence , top marks

5 star rating: Highly Recommended October 2012

The guide was brilliant, such a nice man and very knowledgeable. The temple was just amazing. We were let down by the weather whilst up Penang Hill but you could appreciate what the views would be like during good weather. Guide also made sure we had the best seats going up and down the hill which was a real plus. I would highly recommend this tour and the guide.

I also did the Island half day tour in the morning. This tour again was really good (amazing scenary) although Snake Temple was a bit of a let down. Despite this the trip is still very much worth doing.
