About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Rex W0 contributionsHistory on WheelsThe tour was a breeze to order. A good value Our driver, Ronnie, was like having a history book along for the ride. I would schedule another tour knowing the caliber of drivers or guides the company has. Highly recommend the tour.Written April 13, 2024
- Lyndsey S0 contributionsGreat experience and guide!Our tour guide was personable, kind, funny, knowledgeable, and fun! And I leaned a lot! And both locations we do lovely!Written June 22, 2023
- F637IMtims0 contributionsGood tour with an excellent guideInteresting tour with excellent tour guide. Entopia Butterfly Farm was most enjoyable and arriving early in the day was great as we missed the crowds which we building as we left. The Tropical Spice Garden not so exciting. The tour was worthwhile just to get out of Georgetown and see other parts of the Island.Written January 27, 2023
- PressNP0 contributionsRevised, personalised tour of Penang was greatThough we signed up for this tour, due to my mother's mobility issues and the company's recommendation, we modified the final tour to cover Penang Hill, Georgetown (street art, streets, Little India), the Thai and Burmese Buddhist temples, drive down Harmony Street and the Pinang Peranakan Mansion (also in Georgetown). We were really sad to omit Entropia Butterfly Farm, but the guide – Mr Ranjit – said it would eat up too much of our initerary to go there. We also stopped for lunch for my mother. Mr Ranjit's history knowledge and personalised service was wonderful, and we really enjoyed getting to see Penang through its cultural heritage. It will probably cost less to do just Penang Hill and Georgetown tours, but as we needed a personalised version for my mother, this worked out for us.Written January 19, 2023
- R5492ELjacobh0 contributionsWorth it for any Traveler or touristThis is great if you’re after a temple to tick off. Most of the ground are free to walk around there plenty of shade and places to sit down if you need a break from the sun(shaded obviously) you can pay 2ringgit to enter the rest of the ground which includes the viewing tower. We missed the cable car to the bigger structure above which would have been worth doing so try find that.Written November 13, 2022
- Li S0 contributionsAverage tour. I expect moreFirst, the good side. The tour carefully select the places we are going to visit. There are two more Buddhist temples, besides Kek Lok Si, to visit in the tour. One is a Thai styl tmeple. The other Burma style . But Kek Lok Si is the main one and rightly so.You do need a car to go up to the main temple. This is a plus.Then we visited The Chew pier before we visit the other main site, the Khoo Kongsi.This sis a lavish community hall of the Khoo clan and is very worth visiting. The guide , Ah Shing, explained reasonably well and is also quite attentive to our need, eg he would start the car earlier so that it is cool down a bit in this hot weather.Howeer, there are four things that the tour need to improve. First, it should arrange a brief lunch. It is unreasonable to expect one could last from 10am to 3 pm without eating something. Second, a bottle of water should bee provided . Simple thing, I know. But it is not done.Third. Given the importance of Buddhism in the local history, I feel the guide do not know enough in this area. Fourth,the wall painting sites are all passed by without opportunity to take photos.Written January 14, 2020
- EricY12920 contributionsOne day tour of PenangPerfect and excellent... good. Tourist guide is professional one. He can introduce a lot of information of Penang... AwesomeWritten January 12, 2020
- Stella G0 contributionsThe view from Curtis Crest in the Habitat is spectacularThe experience up the Penang hill is made more fun by our tour guide Ms Su Li. She is very engaging and informative. She is only very helpful and pleasant. The trail in Habitat was very nice and the occasionally swings stationed along the trail makes resting more pleasant and sweer. The children enjoyed the zipline and it is not to be miss. Great fun for children and family. For younger children, they can pair with their parents - great bonding, great memory. The steamboat is disappointing but the view is spectacular.Written January 5, 2020

Nice bug experience. I think younger children would get more out of entopia than our older ones. I feel the place needs more butterflies 🦋 but has a nice balance of other insects and reptiles . Overall a good experience. Tickets probably slightly over priced for what you get .

I don’t like butterflies and insects but still managed to enjoy this place. There weren’t that many butterflies around as it had just rained. Fun for kids too!
