I'm very satisfied with the service. Uncle Teh, our driver is very nice and helpfull. He shows us where to buy food in Lorong Baru, how to buy tickets is Penang Hill, so almost like a tour guide.

An attraction highly recommended by locals, it is said that "if you have not been to Penang Hill, you have never been to Penang." It is worth noting that the cable car tickets for the top and bottom of the mountain are separate and must be purchased separately on site. The high-altitude trail on the top of the mountain has beautiful mountain views.

Jeff was our guide. He fetched us on time. The car was clean and comfortable. He was very knowledgeable and explained many cultural insights and provided a lot of historical tidbits about the towns we visited. We actually learnt little factoids about our own heritage from Jeff. All in all, this tour provided a quick speed run for everything Penang has to offer. Great service from Jeff!
