About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Curious410487649440 contributionsStaff was kindIt was nice to see, but We bought pictures which look nice the staff made as memory. As i download from my-snapp the pictures the quality, was not what we saw in this plase. This picture was not usable at all.Written February 12, 2025
- Graham J0 contributionsWell worthwhileKnowledgeable guide. On time and willing to answer all our questions. Able to adapt the tour to accommodate our needs. I would recommend this tour.Written February 8, 2025
- Sherrie6Lee0 contributionsAn Experience Not to MissWe picked up a trishaw once getting through the port buildings. It was easy to do and reasonably priced. We just bought 1 hour ( we wanted to focus on the street art) with extra to bring us back to the ship. Our driver/guide was delightful and he loved posing us for pictures in front of the amazing murals.Written December 19, 2024
- Barbara G0 contributionsVisually Exciting Tour ExperienceThis was a relaxed tour filled with amazing things to see and do. The Tropical Spice Garden was a serene encounter with nature that shared information in a fun way. Following this with the visit to Entopia was a real contrast. We were amazed by the magnitude of the display and the depth of detail presented in such an enjoyable way. Overall our tour with Pesona and Mr Ong as our driver/guide was a Penang Island experience we will remember with pleasure.Written December 10, 2024
- GrandTour062498064500 contributionsAmazing tourExcellent time and excellent guide! I highly recommend for anyone looking for something to do. The guide was extremely helpful and knowledgeable.Written August 29, 2024
- thornbury_travellers0 contributionsNice bug experienceNice 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 .Written June 30, 2024
- 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
- 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
- silverspire0 contributionsFun & educationalI 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!Written August 4, 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

Though 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.

Interesting 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.

The guide wasn't a guide, just a driver. Sorry, we have not received any information about the island, city, culture,... The booked program also did not fit with the plan of the "guide". He did not want to approach two points of the program. Value for money does not fit. With this experience, next time we would take a grave and drive to the points described in the program, pay the entrance fee ourselves and then we would have saved a lot of money.

People in Penang are very reckless and dangerous drivers, and Malaysian buses and taxis seem to drive dangerously. They tend to scam tourists, so be careful with taxis and Grab. An elderly couple was also scammed, so it's better not to use Grab.

Disappointing visit.
If the route is well indicated, the plan is well done, the garden lacks maintenance and information for beginners.
Not many haunts in the paths, the vegetation is mixed, it is very difficult to spot the species. The route is short. Little or no spices.
Overall disappointing
