Malaysia · MORNING
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 2 morning tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Spend four food-filled hours around old George Town with a guide such as Sandy, Grace, Ken, or Lee-Ann. Try more than 15 Penang specialties, from kaya toast and runny egg to char koay kak, laksa, dim sum, and prawn mee. The group is capped at eight, with drinks included. Come hungry and wear comfortable shoes.
“loved the morning food tour! highly recommend this if you are in penang”
Start with early hotel pickup from Penang Island, then ride about two hours through Balik Pulau with local guide Sam. Expect flat roads, paddy fields, farms, village life, fruit tasting, a farm visit, container art, and a tea or lemonade break with banana cake. Bikes are basic, so comfort-minded riders should ask about the fit.
“I really enjoyed the tour…it’s a nice way of experiencing the country style in Penang. Wah is a very good driver and Sam, the tour guide, super friendly, funny and knowledgeable. Thank you! 😊”
Pick a cave temple, a mangrove channel or a hawker street.
