- thecatyoung0 contributionsAuthentic experience with culture and food!Mr. Lester Lam was an excellent tour guide and gave us unique insight into George Town! We were able to learn so much about the diverse history of Malaysia and a great deal about the Chinese who came to Penang for work and better opportunities. Lester took a lot of pictures of us as well so that helped us get more shots of us together than we would have visiting these places on our own. We had a special treat by going to lunch at a wet market where Lester told us the best things to order and even encouraged us to try some intriguing items that would have been too intimidating without his knowledge. I am so happy we found this tour with a professional guide and would gladly recommend this to friends and family who decide to venture out to George Town in the future!Written 31 December 2024
- L9604GAjohnl0 contributionsGreat day with Ang in PenangAng provided a wonderful tour of Penang that allowed us to explore the culture, food and shopping.

- sweens720 contributionsComfortable travel and interesting destinationsOur guide, Jeff, was a really lovely guy, very generous and knowledgeable. He is a Penangite and really knows the island. He has interesting stories about all aspects of life in this region. We did the hill funicular car which was great, the Kek temple, and possibly best of all was the drive over the central highland to see the west coast and have a glimpse of Penang life away from Georgetown. Tried the durian and it was lovely but watch the burps afterwards as people in the same car aren’t generally impressed!Written 21 December 2024
- Michael F0 contributionsExcellent and amazing Food and sightseeing TourWe joined an excellent food Tour in Georgetown. Our tour-guide James Link was a wonderful and very friendly guy. .He guided us through the delicious food-culture of Georgetown and told us with his lovely sense of humour funny stories about Penangs history. The meals were so delicious. We were loughing a lot and enjoyed this afternoon. we absolutely recommend this kind of food tour. We have experience of three food tours in malaysia. This tour with James Link was the very best.Written 12 December 2024

We would definitely recommend visitors to this area to chose this company.Written 26 November 2024

Incredible experience. My guide, Jeff See, did an amazing job - reaching out to me a few days prior to begin figuring out my personalized itinerary. He was extremely knowledgeable about his city and we comfortably packed in as many things as I wanted to see. While it is a long tour, Jeff See’s attitude remained awesome from start to finish. He is a great photographer as well - I highly recommend him!

Our guide Eng was excellent! He listened carefully to us and made sure we got to see all of the things we wanted to see. My favorite part was that he even added in some things that he knew we would want to see. Penang was an excellent stop on our cruise itinerary and this was an excellent tour.

Thanks for the review. Penang has been always labelled as "Hidden surprises" during cruise stop. This tourist island got it all - the sun, the sea, cultures, heritage, the hills, parks, the foods and most important the locals who make things alive and fun. Glad you like this place we called "home". Cheers

This was a tour for myself and my wife. Our guide Josh contacted us 24 hours before the tour. He arrived 15 minutes early at 9.45am but told us to take our time in joining him. He had a lovely spacious new air conditioned car for the two of us. We had a great day visiting many sites and Josh was very helpful in agreeing the itinerary. He took us to one of the local restaurants he goes to for lunch - we were the only westerners there. Good food and drinks were less than £4 a person. He dropped us back at our hotel at 6.15pm after a memorable day and he WhatsApp’d us the photos he’d taken of the two of us at various locations during the day. Can’t really fault the tour or his service. We’ll done Josh!

Eng was amazing in terms of knowledge, making it fun, and being flexible. He got us in the fast line when too many people were waiting at key sites, which helped us save time for other places. His car was very comfortable, with first class and business class seating :-) A great day out for the whole group.

Booked the flexi full day adventure by Active Dynamics and the whole experience was pleasant and smooth. The agency emailed and later gave me the contact of the tour guide Lester Lam Meng Chee which enabled me to do some planning with him before the trip. Lester was also an excellent guide. He was patient with our group's request and was able to keep my elderly mother entertained. His photography skils was also fantastic and took many beautiful photos of the family. Overall a wonderful experience for us all, a group of 7 age 9 to 81 years old.

If you’re looking to really get a taste of what Penang has to offer, this tour would be perfect for you. We had a few places that we knew we wanted to visit (Kek Loi Si Temple, Penang Hill and the Pinang Paranakan Mansion).
Eng was amazing regarding our had to see places and we even went to a couple of places he suggested and were not disappointed. The food at Nyona restaurant that he took us to for lunch was amazing. Throughout the tour, he checked to make sure that we were comfortable and happy with the tour. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and provided so much information about Penang and its culture. Eng was so energetic and was so willing to go beyond our allotted time to make sure we saw as much as we could. And, he took some awesome photos for us!
It was a long day, but we were very pleased that we accomplished what we set out to do and even more. We would definitely recommend this tour, especially with Eng.

Penang has so many great sites to see and this tour made it easy to cover as many things as we could in a day (really you need 3 days to do Penang justice). Our guide EngSeong was knowledgeable and made the tour lots of fun, taking photos for us and getting us to try some street foods that we would have avoided out of not knowing what they were otherwise. Highly recommended.

From the beginning in meeting Lester, we knew we would have a great day with him. He was very knowledgeable, took pictures of us in all of the sites and was very hospitable. He made sure we were able to see everything we wanted to see and with our original list of sites plus his recommendations, it was a great day of touring Penang. We highly recommend Lester and company.
