  1. Maisoon_M

    Great experience. We enjoyed riding through the different villages and especially the coffee shop stop, we really got to see how locals spend a part of their day. Our tour guide was also great, very informative and helpful with a great sense of humor. The company also arranged an airport transfer for us as we were cutting it close to our departure time.

    It was the best experience we had in Penang – exploring the back lanes and fishing villages of the countryside. A completely different side of Penang that we would never have otherwise explored. The group was lovely and Eddie was knowledgeable, full of banter, and eager to serve and share. Recommending it to all our friends who come to Penang!

    Eddy was an amazing your guide. He was prompt and on time and very knowledgeable. He pointed out various sights and gave us insightful information and facts about the island and areas we visited. He had an answer for every question we asked. The tour itself was so much fun! The bike ride is not strenuous at all, very laid back cruising through the country side and through the neighborhoods. We got to feed the goats and an Ostrich! So cute, so fun. Great for everyone adults and children able to ride a bicycle. I would highly recommend!

    Loved this experience! It’s good to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and to see how locals live in their villages. Stopped for coffee and a snack in the fishing village.
    TC is an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about the area and the history of Penang & Malaysia.

    Spent a wonderful morning getting a taste of rural life in Penang on a picturesque and easy cycle ride. Led by Eddy at a relaxing pace he provided interesting and insightful commentary on a wide range of topics from palm oil to car production! All in excellent English for our group of 5. Highly recommend this tour from punctual pick-up at our hotel to return about 4 hours later.

    Eddie was a great and funny guide who take time to explain everything about penang culture and living! It is the experience you should do if you want to learn and undertstand more about the place you stay.
    We had a good time in the little cafe and while feeding animals farm!
    I will suggest to renew your bicycle Park , why not some bike with baby seat or traiter?

    A great vacation idea. The terrain was flat so anyone can ride. It was interesting to see the country from another perspective. The guide was great. Informative.

  8. Karmen_L

    Eddie was really knowledgeable and we had fun riding through the palm oil Forrest and learning about the village and all the culture.

    Eddy picked me up at my hotel and from there we proceeded to the Balik Pulau area. All the way there he was a wealth of information on Penang and it’s development over the years. When we got to our destination the rest of the day trip was one surprise after another as Eddy drew back the curtain of another part of Penang that is not normally seen or appreciated. He certainly made me have to rethink some of my perceptions as he wound us thru the area. His knowledge and perceptions of the area showed his deep commitment and appreciation for a lifestyle that is slowly but surely disappearing. His commitment to making this such a positive experience went above and beyond the norm. I could have spent the whole day cycling with Eddy and hearing the story of Penang, from his perspective. I would highly recommend this to anyone, especially if the desire is to see Penang outside the hustle and bustle of the more developed areas. It won’t be long before the development has overtaken this area as well and it will lose something very special. Eddy is the perfect escort into this part of Penang as he appreciates it for what it is. This area should be protected from large scale development, in the same way Georgetown has been.

    The relaxing atmosphere of the Penang county side made this cycle ride a memorable experience. The people along the way are friendly and welcoming. Our guide was on time for pickup, very knowledgeable and helpful. This tour is excellent value for money and I wish I could do this every day.

  14. Sarah_C

    Loved this tour, it was such a nice way to start the day and explore a different part of the island with lots of animals to see along the way. The tour guide was so accommodating and knowledgeable. I would however advise to book via Trip Advisor rather than use this booking platform as I had some issues with my reservation and ended up having to rebook for a different date

  15. Katrina_S

    We loved the ride around the Penang countryside! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and funny. The flat backroads made for an easy ride and the sights – fishing villages, a goat farm and fruit tree plantation – were a really nice contrast from the city. A great way to spend a morning!

  16. Kumarendran_P

    Great half day cycling tour. Lovely way to spend a morning, seeing countryside and farms. Guide was funny, knowledgeable and created a relaxed atmosphere. It rained quite heavily at the start of the tour which was dealt with expertly- local coffee and tour of village before heading off once the rain stopped. Pickup/transfer from hotel was excellent too!

  19. THUY_P

    It was nice to get out of George Town for half a day and see the outskirts of Paneng. I’ve learned so much about Malaysia and the locals lives. Would absolutely recommended this tour.
