Really good tour, our guides took us around Penang and explained the history of the island with lots of information we wouldn’t have been able to catch without him. We also visited lots of historical sites and then went to The Top, the highest point in Penang.
Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and that our guide could share Penang’s history in a meaningful way. It’s great to know you visited many historical sites and enjoyed the visit to The Top. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again on another tour.
No issues at all. Driver was very knowledgeable about area and was very helpful and was also very good at the job
Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad to hear that our driver was helpful and knowledgeable. We always strive to provide the best service and appreciate your feedback.
I cannot praise this highly enough.. from the very start (message confirming pick-up sent to me in good time) the car was comfortable and spotlessly clean. My host driver has been guiding for over twenty years and knows EVERYTHING there is to know about Penang, it’s culture, it’s history. I had a recent operation and at present have a cane nd I was taken great care of throughout the trip. Parking close to everything, assistance in exiting cr and dealing with any steps.. It was all done with such charm and friendliness and PROFESSIONALISM. I give this trip the highest “mark” I’ve ever given after decades of trip Reviews.

Yes I does say in the description that if they can’t get tickets for Petronas they will get KL tower tickets. But they should have a note that if you are doing “ Reserve and pay later” that they won’t buy the tickets until the day before the event. The reason I purchased this specific tour is because the Petronas towers tickets were included. Also the Batu caves. The tour is pretty expensive but we did not see the Batu caves because of an Hindu holiday and we did not go up the observation deck for Petronas tower. When we got on the car I asked the driver if he got the tickets for the Petronas tower and he said yes. I said wonderful ! I told him that since we were not going to Batu caves that we wanted to go to KL tower but we will pay for them. He stopped in a store and bought KL tower tickets. When we got to Petronas Tower he said: there is the entrance. We asked him: ok but we need the tickets. Then he said: oh no we called yesterday and the tickets were sold out so you got KL tower tickets. I was so upset!! The driver was almost mute he wil point to the next place and say the name tat is all. This was the worse Viator tour we have taken.

Our team has been dedicated to providing quality service on this platform for a long time.

Despite our best efforts, unforeseen challenges can arise. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and take pride in being part of a team committed to continuous improvement.
The tour was very much worth it. It was very personalized and my tour guide Aldrin was awesome! He was very knowledgeable about Penang and the country in general, and knew the best places to bring me to. He was very fluent in English and drove extremely well. I’ll always have great memories of Penang because of this tour.
