Great Day with enthusiastic young guide
"Had a lovely day with Deffrey.
Loved spacious car for 4 adults, polite and attentive and so enthusiastic.
Thoroughly recommend "
"It was a very hot day; Deffrey came prepared with an air conditioned car and plenty of water. We first explored the inner city to maximize the coolness of the morning; street art, Chinese homes on stilts at the Jeti and temples. We then drove to the top of the mountain overlooking Penang to experience the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. We dined like locals at a local hawkers center. Deffrey then took us into the countryside to experience rural life in Penang. Every stop was it's own little adventure. He candidly shared insights into the cultures, religions and food, which are the fabric of Penang. We can't thank Deffrey enough for showing us his home!! An amazing tour not to be missed "
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Joo Bee was a wonderful guide in George Town—knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. She shared fascinating insights into the city’s history and culture and made the tour feel personal and relaxed. Highly recommended."
