Joey skillfully created a 6-hour private tour for us in Penang during our day trip from Singapore yesterday. Before meeting him at the airport, we were worried about doing too much or too little during the tour, but he included just the right number of attractions. We, of course, wished we'd had a bit more time to explore other sites, and at the same time, we were so glad he didn't try to show us more, because visiting a few significant sites in a day was just enough for our style of travelling.

Amazing tour!!

My friend and I booked this tour, and we were incredibly fortunate to have Mr. Joey Tan as our guide. He was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. He took us to every location on the itinerary and shared so much history, cultural insight, and fascinating background information along the way. The temples we visited were some of the most breathtaking places I have ever seen in my life. The final temple especially felt surreal — I truly didn’t know places like that even existed. What made the experience even more special was Mr. Joey’s kindness, patience, and genuine care for us throughout the day. We had mentioned that we only eat halal food, and he thoughtfully checked with restaurants to make sure we had suitable options. As two girls traveling together, we felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time, which meant so much to us. He was warm, humble, accommodating, and made the entire tour fun, relaxing, and memorable. If you are planning to book this tour, I highly recommend requesting Mr. Joey Tan. He truly made this experience unforgettable for us, and we will always cherish it. Thank you so much, Mr. Joey, for such a beautiful and meaningful day!

Operator response

We're especially pleased to know that Joey's thoughtful attention to your dietary preferences and his commitment to ensuring your comfort and safety helped make the day even more enjoyable. Your kind words about the temples, the experience, and Joey's warm personality mean a great deal to us. Thank you for trusting us with your Penang adventure. It was our pleasure to be part of your journey, and we hope to welcome you both back again for another unforgettable experience in the future!

Our guide Law was great,...

Our guide Law was great, very informative kind and funny. However we couldn’t see all the sites mentioned in the itinerary as 6 hours wasn’t enough no fault of the guide. The travel time isn’t accounted for so we were disappointed as we had to do George Town, street art and Chew Jetty the next day. We managed to tick off the temples on this tour.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about Law. We’re very happy to hear that you found him informative, kind, and funny throughout the tour. We would also like to gently clarify for future guests that the itinerary posted on Viator serves as a general reference of the attractions covered during the tour. The actual scheduled timeframe includes travel time from the guest’s hotel as well as the journeys between attractions throughout the day. As guests stay at different hotels across Penang, travel duration and traffic conditions can vary significantly from one tour to another, making it difficult to accurately predict the exact amount of sightseeing time available at each stop. In your case, your hotel was located quite a distance from George Town and the main sightseeing areas, which resulted in additional travel time during the tour. On the day of the tour, extra time was also spent on a lunch stop requested during the trip, which is not part of the standard itinerary. Despite this, our guide was happy to extend the tour by approximately an extra hour at no additional charge to help maximize your experience. For guests who wish to cover every stop listed in the itinerary, timing at each attraction can be important to ensure the schedule runs smoothly throughout the day. We truly appreciate your feedback and understanding, and we’re glad you were still able to enjoy visiting the temples and experiencing part of Penang’s rich culture and heritage. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future. We truly appreciate all feedback from our guests, as every tour experience can differ depending on traffic conditions, hotel location, pace of the visit, and personal preferences. We always do our best to accommodate guests and ensure they have an enjoyable and memorable experience in Penang.
