Loved this tour. Guide was excellent picked me up at my hotel early. We drove all the way around the island, and I got to see the northern beaches, the western fruit farms, and a western Muslim village, Great overview of Penang Island. The guide was excellent about pointing out a lot of extras such as architectural marvels, and back in George Town he let me out at a food market to try a local specialty and with directions for the short walk back to my hotel.

I would recommend this tour. Though I feel It is a little overpriced It gave us a good overview of Penang. Our guide Lawrence in-depth knowledge of Penang and it's history gave us an good insight into the history and working of this beautiful island.

Lawrence picked us up at the hotel and drove us around the island with a running commentary. This tour was excellent, the highlight was the batik factory where we were able to see the craftsmanship and skill involved in making batik fabric. We were also shown where nutmeg was grown and various nutmeg and mace products were made. This was also very interesting and informative. Driving through the various locations gave us ideas about what other sites to visit during our stay in Penang.

We found this Tour truly excellent , due in very great part to the delightful personality of our driver/guide Philip Oh . Within a half hour of his collecting us . from Mansion One , we were chatting away like old friends as he drove us around the Island in the saloon car provided for the Tour . Philip was cheerful , knowledgeable and informative ,, providing us with a wealth of interesting information . The scenic aspects of the drive were memorable , and we were particularly pleased to see something of the ''true'' Malaysia that exists outside the urban and ''touristy'' locations . The stops at the Spice Farm , the Snake Temple and Serpentarium , and the specialist Tea and Coffee Sellers were all fascinating in their different ways . Philip , who had always been at great pains to fall in with our every wish , finally dropped us off at Gurney Plaza , where we wanted to go for lunch , We were genuinely sorry to lose his companionship , which had done so much to make this Tour so thoroughly enjoyable .

Well organised trip and good tour guide but not actually much to see or do on Penang island. The snake Temple was worth a visit but other than that not much to do. If you don't have long in Penang I wouldn't recommend doing this tour, perhaps a tour around Georgetown would be more worth it.
