Lawrenceville made sure that we went to the places I preferres to see. He made excellent suggestions for more expensive passes when it makes sense to do so. He also introduced me to a safe but quasi street food whoch was excellent. I was able to see the highlights of Georgetown and Penang hill in our 1/2 day together. I would not hesitate use use his services again.

July 2026A decade from now, when the pace of life finally slows down, I know exactly where you’ll find me: Settled into a rocking chair on a quiet porch, with Hushy resting nearby, watching the day turn to twilight. Your review will be right there with me. Rereading words like yours will be my favorite way to bring these golden days right back to life. Thank you for giving me...

May 2026Thank you very much for your review; it truly means a great deal to me. One day, when I am retired, I imagine myself sitting in a rocking chair, pampering Hushy, and watching the sunset. As the evening light fades, I will slowly read through every review and relive all those sweet memories.

Half day Penang tour. Lawrence was knowledgeable, friendly with a great sense of humor and gave us many alternatives to see. A highlight was the funicular and rainforest visit. We ended the day with a stop at his favourite rice noodle kiosk. Very easy to highly recommend Lawrence.

Worth every penny! We’re on a very tight schedule in Penang and this was the best way to cover the major highlights in a short amount of time. Lawrence was very knowledgeable and flexible to accommodate our requests. Car was clean and comfortable as well. I highly recommend him for the first timer. He certainly made our trip memorable.
