RATING ★★★★★
TOUR: #294587, Orang Utan Island Tour, Half-Day by Car, George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia
We had an excellent tour with our very experienced and knowledgeable guide Lawrence. Changes to the ferry times to get across to the Orang Utan Island required a slight alteration to our original plans. Lawrence couldn't have been more accommodating and took us to a number of interesting sites en route. The visit to see the Orang Utans was however truly memorable and we left understanding so much more about these incredible animals! Thoroughly recommend both this trip and the services of Lawrence Lam.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks a bunch for the stellar rating! Your endorsement makes me feel like the Beyoncé of tour guides—minus the singing talent and the entourage of backup dancers.
