    We went on three tours in Penang; A street food tour, a bicycle tour and a visit to Penang Hill and the Habitat. George Town is a beauty but a guided tour definitely makes the big difference - with the right guide. Our guide made sure we got the story behind the different neighborhoods, temples and buildings and it was really an eye opener. Not least did we experience the best street food. I've been on many guided tours throughout my life but our guides in Penang really made sure, I won't forget George Town, the nature and the food.

    Had an enjoyable day. Driver was good with his knowledge and humor. Snake temple was cool and the hidden culture in the bfg temple was good. Not a case of seen one temple, you have seen them all. Did see the local fisherman but learnt alot about local fruits. Ran out of time to visit the batik factory due to the railway being very busy. Maybe this was because it was a weekend - pick a week day. All in all it was still an enjoyable day.
