Enchanting Day Excursion: Unveiling the Charms of Penang in Penang - 799db92c6d2cf10f6b91f82b0d903f2d

George Town, the capital city of the State of Penang, is the second largest city in Malaysia and the economic centre of the country's northern region. The history of George Town began with its establishment by Captain Francis Light of the British East India Company in 1786.

Penang is known as the pearl of the orient. On every street corner of this beautiful city, you will find a little pieces of heritage, culture, or a stunning view at the beach. We will visit a number of the highlights of the city that will show how amazing this place is during your private tour of the city.

You can fully explore the beauty of this island together with me and try out some famous local Malaysian dishes in Penang!

Amar was a little nervous starting off the tour but then began to open up and relax, giving us insightful information about Penang and the street art in this area. Amar brought us to places we would not have come across as tourists. Our tour lasted 2.5 hours and was very enjoyable! Lovely City, goid tour

A novice guide who double booked and finsihed the tour in 1.5hrs without sharing any useful and insightful information. Most disappointing. A waste of time and money. A novice guide who double booked

First I just wanna say that Amar is probably a nice person, but he is definitely not a tour guide. I‘m sorry, Amar! But he didn’t tell us anything, neither about the city or culture nor about the street art. He almost didn’t talk at all. He told us it was his first tour, so we didn’t expect it to be perfect, but this just felt like a joke and a rip-off. We just strolled through the streets and occasionally he showed us the street art spots, but most of them we even discovered on our own! Seriously Amar, read something before the next tour, make notes, so you can tell the people something. We paid 50 Euros for 2 people for which should have been a private tour, but then there were two other people on our tour. This would hsbe been fine if it was actually a good tour but it wasnt. It shouldve lasted 2.5 hours but we were fone after 1 hour. Just a huge rip-off! Huge rip-off!

More about me

I am a local to George Town, Penang and know the city inside and out. I studied Architectural which allowed me to learn more about my beautiful country and its history. My idea of the perfect day would be sitting on the terrace, soaking up the sun while reading books. Then when I have finished reading I love to go and socialize with my friends in the city, we are always discovering amazing places to eat and drink (I know some of the really secret spots not in the guide book). My other passion is Hiking, I will hiking with my friend around the island when I am not showing people around my city.
