Revised, personalised tour of Penang was great - 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.

Good tour with an excellent guide - 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.

Malaysian Grab, be careful with buses - 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.
