RATING ★★★★★
TOUR: #51598, Penang Culture & Nature Tour, Full-Day by Van, George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia
We are a group of 6 Canadians. Lawrence met us promptly at the cruise ship terminal for an action packed day. I contacted him the night before and changed the itinerary, he was very accommodating. We started with a Trishshaw ride around Georgetown, saw the bike mural, mansion, Penang Funicular, Entopia Butterfly Farm and a batik factory. All were great sites to see. The Entopia and batik factory were a long way from the port but Lawrence had us back to the ship in plenty of time. Highly recommend Lawrence
