A very worthwhile experience. Phillip had an excellent command of English. He was knowledgeable, courteous and enthusiastic about his city. The street art was fabulous and Phillip showed art we would never have found ourselves. Phillip also went out of his way to drive us in comfort around the various sites of George Town We highly recommend Phillip and this tour of nearly 3 hours long.
Creative Stunning Art! Very unique experiences! I will come back again and please do protect these Art!
The street murals in George Town are rich in cultural and lifestyle themes. Walking through the streets and alleys, you often come across surprising artworks in different corners. It encourages people to keep exploring and discovering interesting street scenes in the alleys.
The wall paintings were run down. Chanced upon a Henna scammer who overcharged 75 RM for a design that lasted only a few days. Beware of the Indian lady who is doing Henna painting. She uses inferior paste that does not last and charges exorbitantly.
Best place to sight seeing the unique murals on the wall and to take pictures. I took many pictures there with my friend as a remembrance. Advisable to bring hat since the weather is too hot if you plan to visit in the afternoon. If you're looking to explore more spots here, can rent a bicycle and cycle to all the spots to take pictures. I spent there around 1 hour by walking along the street to take pictures.
