A wonderful historic UNESCO World Heritage Site

Published on Feb, 2025

We enlisted a local tour operator to show us this wonderful, historical UNESCO World Heritage Site. In no particular order we saw Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower, Fort Cornwallis, Chew Jetty, Armenian Street, Kapitan Keeling Mosque, Little India, Sri Mahamariamman Temple, Goddess of Mercy Temple, St. George Anglican Church and Khoo Kongsi. The local street art was also visited including: "little children on a bicycle" and "flying Butterfly Cat". Great guide who also gave us tips on the street food and the brest places to shop.

Great way to experience and learn about Penang!

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour with Khoo Bee Lean was great! We learnt a lot about the origins of Penang, including the British settlement, and we also learnt a lot about the Chinese clan family system. It was also great to hear the perspective of a local on Penang’s past and current direction. It was a great way to see and contextualise Penang and we would definitely recommend to anyone visiting!
