Penang Instagram-rondleiding met lunch





Beschrijving
Penang is door CNN Travel genoemd als een van de top 2019 toeristische bestemmingen ter wereld. Begin met het centrum van George Town voor de iconische muurschilderingen of straatkunst. Ga vervolgens naar de Khoo Kongsi, een historisch clanhuis dat een bewijs is van het rijke erfgoed van de vroege Chinese kolonisten in Penang. Bewonder de ingewikkelde architectuur en verken de kostbare artefacten die een verhaal vertellen over de culturele assimilatie tussen de Maleiers en de Chinezen. De volgende stop is de Kek Lok Si-tempel, de grootste boeddhistische tempel in Maleisië. Laat u betoveren door de grandeur en geniet van de spirituele sfeer die in elke hoek heerst. Het tempelcomplex biedt een adembenemend panoramisch uitzicht over het eiland en biedt volop mogelijkheden voor prachtige Instagram-foto's. Maak meer foto's tijdens de streetfoodlunch, want lokale gerechten zoals "Laksa", "Char Koay Teow" en "Cendol" zijn niet alleen heerlijk, maar zien er ook heel goed uit voor de Instagram-feed.

Reisroute
Street Art uit Penang werd opnieuw bekroond nadat het werd uitgeroepen tot de 7e meest Instagrammed City voor Street Art ter wereld. Door levensgrote afbeeldingen te combineren met het originele stuk of 3D-objecten, zijn muurschilderingen in Penang 'interactief en echt'. De Litouwse kunstenaar Ernest Zacharevic revitaliseerde George Town met zijn unieke kijk op straatkunst met kinderen. Stukken als 'Kids on Bicycle' en 'Boy on Motorcycle' zijn zo cool dat je er niets aan kunt doen maar ermee wilt poseren. Wandel door de steegjes en bewonder enkele van de beste 'gratis souvenirs' uit Penang.
Het Pinang Peranakan-herenhuis is een statig herenhuis, gerenoveerd om oude dagen van de Chinese nederzetting Straits in Penang te weerspiegelen. Dit prachtige herenhuis is de voormalige residentie en het kantoor van de Chinese Kapitan Chung Keng Kwee. Hij was een 19e-eeuwse Hakka-mijnwerker en leider van het geheime genootschap van Hai San. De Pinang Peranakan Mansion is gevuld met meer dan 1.000 antiek en verzamelobjecten. De residentie is uniek en omvat verschillende Chinese architectuur. Het herenhuis, gebouwd in de jaren 1890, heeft Chinese bewerkte houten panelen, Engelse vloertegels en Schots ijzerwerk.
Khoo Kongsi, formeel bekend als de Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi, is een sierlijke en historische clan huis in George Town, Penang. Beschouwd als een van de grootste in Maleisië, het is een belangrijk embleem van Chinese erfgoed en het succes van de Chinese diaspora in Zuidoost-Azië.
Maak meer foto's tijdens de street food-lunch. Penang-eten is een mix van traditionele Maleisische, Chinese en Indiase gerechten, evenals fusionkeukens zoals Baba Nyonya of Peranakan die regionale ingrediënten en Chinese Maleisische kookmethoden bevat. Alles is te vinden in Hawker-centra en winkelhuizen in George Town.

Our tour guide Phillip was 1st class, we saw plenty of interesting sites , Phillip checked in regularly to see if we were happy, we couldn’t have asked for a better day, I highly recommend this tour and Phillip ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We have been a world cruise for 3 months and this was on of our top tours of many. Our guide, Philip was fantastic. He was a local who loved his city, and was proud to show it off. Once we told him my wife loves street art and photography, he went out of his way to show us examples through the city including many “off the beaten path “ alleys with great art. Because we were on a private tour and my wife and I tend to move at fast pace, we were able to visit more sites than were included in the standard tour. Philip made it a perfect day!
We had a fantastic time with our guide Lawrence. The tour was a great blend of art, food, and sightseeing. Having a dedicated driver also helped getting around quickly.
Our guide took us A BUNCH of murals in Georgetown, including a few that were way off the beaten path. It helped having a car to drive between murals; the guide would let us out to walk the immediate area, then pick us up for the next stop. The lunch at the local food market was great; the guide took the time to explain all the stalls/their food to us, then ordered food and drinks. The time allotted for this tour was perfect.
Very good tour made especially extraordinary by our guide and driver, Philip, who was knowledgeable, attentive and professional. His passion for Penang and genuine enjoyment of tour guiding really made this a great experience. As first timers in Penang, this tour gave us all the highlights in one go: art, culture, history and food! We were lucky to have the car to ourselves as no one else booked the tour that day (extremely lucky for us given it was the weekend) so it was convenient to have a place to leave our things. The tour ended with a trip to the Penang White Coffee shop outside Georgetown which, while nice as it offered an opportunity to see more of the city and sample some unusually flavoured coffees from the area (w/ no obligation to buy... wink-wink), you can do without it. Overall a good experience I highly recommend for families or those with elderly... or for super hot/rainy days when walking just won't be appealing!
It was just a driver and did not know much about tourist facts. Driver did not tell me/ tourist that there are a lot of side streets which also have street arts - so, I was a bit disappointed about that, as that was one of my highlights of visiting Penang 🥲 Apart from the above - driver took me all the places on the schedule and he was on time
Good tour - best way to see the best of Penang if you only have a day. Comes with food at a "hawker centre' - eat the way locals do! We had Philip Oh as our guide and he made our day! If you can get him - your whole trip will be worth it! (We had planned to go to Bali but cancelled at the last moment because we heard of an earthquake just off the coast. So we did not plan this trip properly but Philip and the tour saved our holiday.)
This being our first time in Penang, we decided on hiring Tour & Incentive company; and I am glad we did. We used them for round trip transportation from the airport to and from our hotel in Georgetown. We also booked the Instragrammable tour plus the Around Penang Island tour. Philip was our guide and driver for all these trips. He was the best as he made our trips very enjoyable. He is very personable and accommodating. He went above and beyond to make our stay in Penang a positive experience. I highly recommend him and this tour company. Communicating with them is easy and fees are competitive. I will recommend them to friends and family.
