Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Joo Bee was an excellent guide, she met us at the appointed location at the Victoria Clock Tower nearby the cruise Terminal and we spent the morning exploring the UNESCO world heritage site of Georgetown, Penang. We were not disappointed. Joo Bee was able to show us all the sights and locations of interest and gave us a wonderful insight into a bygone era. We enjoyed her company and felt we really were able to understand the history and gain a good understanding of the local culture. Thanks to Joo Bee's local knowledge, we had a wonderful day."
"Remy was super engaging, took us around a really interesting route, and gave us great recommendations (on what to do/where to eat etc for the rest of our stay in George Town). Great way to get your bearings of the city. Would recommend!! "
"Remy was hugely knowledgeable, entertaining and personable as a guide. He gave us the "inside" story of Penang, pointed us towards great activities to do on our own as well as excellent restaurants both during and after the tour. We'd strongly recommend spending a morning with him!"
"I can't say enough good things about our time with Deffery! From the time Deffery picked us up until he dropped us off 8 hours later he was engaged and entertaining. He took us to all of the places on our list plus a few extra places. It was an extremely hot day and my wife was having trouble with the heat and Deffery did everything he could to help elevate the issue by grabbing his car and picking us up between areas. He took us to a local restaurant that was amazing and did everything with a great attitude. He answered all of our crazy questions and gave us a lot of great information about the area. If we get back this way I will definitely use him again! "
