Zainul was an excellent guide and driver. He was chatty, explained everything and made sure I was happy at all times. I would thoroughly recommend him as a driver or tour guide in Penang. However, the trip was very expensive compared to other similar trips we did. My husband wasn't well on the day and we asked to possibly reschedule it for the next day, but it was a definite no. That was a real shame as it was pre-paid, so I did the trip on my own. Overall a lovely day, but some more understanding from Viator would have been nice.
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Zainul provided excellent service and made your day enjoyable — your recommendation truly means a lot to us. We’re sorry to hear about the situation with rescheduling and understand how disappointing that must have been. As rescheduling and cancellation policies are managed by Viator, we appreciate your understanding. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back in Penang in the future.
Our tour guide Ronnie was very good. We didn't want to walk too much so he always went back to get the car to pick us up again. We saw some really lovely temples but to be honest it was too many temples for us. Perhaps fitting in something else or shortening the tour would work better.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that Ronnie took great care of you and was attentive to your comfort throughout the tour. We appreciate your honest suggestion regarding the itinerary, and your comments have been noted as we continuously look to improve the experience for our guests. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you again in the future.
Anson did am excellent job showing us around Penang. He is a good communicator and patient. I would highly recommend him.
Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re delighted to hear that Anson did an excellent job and made your Penang tour enjoyable. Your recommendation truly means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you again soon.
This full-day tour was a wonderful experience and one I would definitely recommend to others. What stood out the most was the relaxed pace—there was absolutely no rushing at any point. I was able to explore each place comfortably and enjoy the day at my own rhythm, which made the experience far more meaningful. Mr. Vejay, the guide, was extremely helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable. As a solo traveller, I especially appreciated how at ease he made me feel throughout the day. He was patient, accommodating, and always ensured I was comfortable and enjoying the experience. If you’re someone who prefers a well-planned tour without being hurried, and especially if you’re travelling solo, this is an excellent choice. A thoughtfully organised day with a guide who truly makes a difference.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful feedback. We’re truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the relaxed pace of the tour and had time to explore each place comfortably. It’s especially pleasing to know that Mr. Vejay made you feel at ease and well cared for throughout the day, particularly as a solo traveller. Your kind words and recommendation mean a great deal to us. We hope to welcome you again on another memorable experience in the future.

Worst tour experience ever - overpriced and uninformed guide. Tour guide missed the essential highlights of the city that we had to later pay another service to take us. Car broke down with no replacement, forced to walk back to hotel in the heat. Shame on you Viator, travellers paying good money for a tour deserve much better.
