Eddie was a terrific host. We highly recommend his bike tour. It was a really great day for our family.
A great trip very worthwhile. Eddie our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. He made the tour 5 star.
Excellent trip to the kampung. It does get hot but you are watered and well fed. Do bring mossie repellent and sunscreen. Easy flat road cycling and very enjoyable
I went with my 73 year old father and we had a great morning out with Eddie and the group. Pick up was easy and punctual, a message was sent the night before with a time, a picture of the car, driver name and license plate. Eddie was an amazing guide, good sense of humour, and we learnt a lot along the way. A welcome snack and drink break half way through, and durian tasting at the end. A really great way to spend the morning. I would highly recommend this one to anyone, all fitness levels will be fine.
We really enjoyed this relaxed bike ride through the Penang countryside. Drinks, snacks and ice cream provided along the way. Our guide Eddie provided interesting and very entertaining commentary!
We were looking to fill half a day and wanted to get into the countryside to see Penang. The guide TC was informative and had a good sense of humor. He spoke perfect English. We enjoyed his company and interaction. We visited a few places and had a pleasant ride around on flat paths. Nothing to blow the mind but a good insight into country living in Penang. Satisfied customers.
Fun countryside trip with couple hours of bike riding. It’s worth waking up early if you enjoy countryside view. They’ll pick you up from your hotel and take you to the starting point and bring you back to your hotel. I took this trip on June 17, 2026.
Very relaxed,cycle, beautiful scenery friendly and thoroughly enjoyable. Even got to test loads of different fruit from a tree and local farm .
Easy flat 6 mile route on proper paths with informative guide Eddie through fishing village and countryside on the western side of Penang. Great to get away from Georgetown and see a quieter side of Penang and local life.
Very enjoyable morning ride with our guide Eddie. Pick up from my hotel was on time. Ride was through a scenic rural environment on track or quiet roads which were flat. Eddie was extremely knowledgeable about the local economy and explained trends in Malaysian agriculture and society. Having missed breakfast I appreciated the stop for snacks and drinks. Small group of riders.
