Thank 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.

We had a wonderful tour! We were 4 adults and Lawrence had shown us a wonderful day at the sanctuary as well as the city. He explained many aspects of local life. We had a wonderful lunch in a local cafe he recommended. His driving and drop off points were so convenient. We had wonderful rides in trishaws, each of us in our own trishaw. We were told we had to pay $2 per...

Yes, it was overpriced. The usual trishaw ride ends at Khoo Kongsi. This ride, we changed to Chew Jetty. The drivers skipped Little India and Chinatown, probably because of my unclear instructions. My apologies. Thank you for still giving me a 5-star review.
