Tour guide was very helpful and informative. He explained about the history of the locations. He came on time and never rushed to complete any tour spot on time and gave sufficient time for viewing the attraction.

Truly love being guided sight-seeing by Mr. Govin, friendly and helpful enough to show us the beauty of Penang Island’s nature. Since we were asked to reschedule our appointment then we could only visit 3-4 places only from the list, but no problem at all for us, we felt pretty satisfied with the great service 🥰 Thank you!

The tour guide was very friendly, skill full & professional, thx to Mr. Shawn. But I was disappointed with Traveloka & their partner in Penang (travel vago). Very unprofessional. I booked for July 8th. But until 8:30 no one picked me up at the hotel. Finally I called them to ask about the tour package I bought. After I called, they finally gave me the tour guide's cellphone number & car plate number. And the tour will start at 10, even though it should be 8:30. But they gave the wrong information about the tour package I bought to the tour guide. It looks careless. Communication between Traveloka and Travel Vago is poor. Worse still, they did not provide any compensation for their stupidity. For Indonesian travelers, it is better to buy from other applications.

Went through the trip with Ronnie Ranjit as our tour guide. He’s very friendly, knowledgable, and accomodating based on our preferences. The highlight of the day was the Penang Hill trip with the Express Ticket. The tour guide recommended me to ride the funicular train on the first row to get the best view. It was stunning and it was a nice trekking experience too inside the Habitat. Then we continued the journey to visit a lot of temples around Penang as well as the famous Street Art and Coffee shop. He also explained in detail about the history behind every place that we visited, including the name origins, historical sites along the way, and much more. Thank you so much! Very impressive experience.

Highly recommended and worth it because that price includes tickets to Penang Hill on the Fast Lane route and back (no need to queue). The guide on behalf of G-Shen was very patient and good at explaining tourist locations. And he wanted to pick us up directly from Penang Airport. The vehicle is also good (Innova Venturer). Top!

This was a fantastic tour at an affordable price. Our tour guide, G-shen, was exceptionally professional and went the extra mile. Not only did he drive us to our desired destinations, but he also took us to every fascinating corner of Penang, providing insightful explanations of the history behind each place and street we visited. Additionally, he assisted us in purchasing tickets and ensured that we were well taken care of throughout the journey. I highly recommend using this travel service for anyone planning to visit Penang.

driver is polite and flexible in suggesting changes to itinerary in view of the rain. he also brought us to buy grean bean pastries when we asked about local souvenirs. he has been great in answering our random questions about malaysia and penang too. however, he seems more like a driver who sends us to different places, rather than a tour guide who will explain the history etc of the places that we are visiting.

The open trip becomes a private trip because no one else is participating. At first I was hesitant because I didn't reply every time, so I decided to just wait at the hotel for pick-up, if I don't get picked up, I'll walk alone. Thank God it was picked up, not canceled and not a hoax. Thank you for your patience Mr. Ong
