Great morning / easy cycling along tracks and quiet roads - only noise was bird song. Learnt a lot about countryside and farming in Penang. A real contrast to Georgetown.
A countryside tour with cycling. Guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Return car included transporting pigeons!
Dear Margaret, We are so sorry for the incident you have gone through with our tour and thank you for your feedback. We will investigate to know what has happened to the transportation team. Again, we apologize for this terrible experience. Hope you may continue to enjoy Penang this beautiful city. Thank you
Our tour was excellent, taking us to places we would never have seen. While the bikes were simple without gears or suspension it was flat countryside and the pace was easy. A visit to a small farm was interesting to compare to UK farming and we stopped for a refreshing lemon drink and banana cake overlooking paddy fields about to be harvested. The fishing village and mangroves nearby showed the importance of small fishing ports to the rural economy. Not only was the bike ride interesting but the taxi ride too and from made more sense of the urban sprawl that covers the east of the island. Definitely worth the effort.
A very nice couple of hours riding through the country side. Easy ride with Sam. He shared a lot about the local lifestyle.
Amazing well run experience… my 17 year old daughter and I loved it… lots to explore and interesting places to visit… cycling was not hard at all …and lots of breaks and photo opportunities… it was so nice to get out and explore out of the city
Sam was the perfect guide and was very keen to show us all that his region had to offer. Excellent bike tour and he made sure we had plenty of stops for interesting photos. The lemon drink was perfect and the location, peaceful.
Really enjoyed a few hours in the countryside with Jack. The cycles weren’t super delux but worked fine and Jack’s enthusiasm and passion for his area were infectious. Booking was easy and transparent, with great communication. A really well organised tour at a very reasonable price.
The tour was really good, the guide Sam was really knowledgeable and passionate about the countryside and showed us around, we got picked up and dropped off at our hotel in George Town, we cycled around the countryside for a couple of hours, had some fresh fruit and a tea and cake, it was a really beautiful cycle
We had an amazing time exploring rural Penang with Sam our tour guide. The cycle was flat and very easy, 9K total with lots of stops visiting farms, plantations etc. We got to sample fruits straight off the trees as well as banana bread and lemon drinks. It rained the whole time but we still loved it. Sam was great. Would definitely recommend.
We did this tour this morning and we are very excited! We were picked up at our hotel in George Town and taken to the other side of the island. There we got the bikes designated, these were a bit small but we are big Dutch. The guide was very enthusiastic and could tell a lot about what you encounter. There is cycling at a leisurely pace so you can look around. About halfway you also get a nice drink with a cake. It is also a nice change from the big city. As far as we are concerned, highly recommended!
