“We had a lovely time on the tour! The guide was lovely and gave us a great tour of the countryside and the island of Penang. I only struggled a bit because the transportation was at 6:30 in the morning and the drive through the mountains took over an hour through very winding roads, so the carsick people need to be aware of this. The tour itself is wonderful, but I also struggled a tiny bit with the bike, as it was quite old and gave me troubles. But you can overlook those things for the overall experience!”
