Tiger is fantastic. He is so passionate about Penang history and goes out if his way to make the tour fun with lots of anecdotes to compliment the history. You can tell that he loves what he does. Can absolutely recommend a tour with Tiger.
Ryan_K, Apr 2023
Tiger has a great passion for history, both local and global. He did a fantastic job of contextualizing the story of Georgetown into the larger global political and religious landscape of the time, illustrating that story with several stops around town. You will see religious buildings from Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism; traditional neighborhoods from the early British, Chinese, Indian, and Malay citizens; and even learn about the six-meals-a-day (!) habits of modern Penangites through a stop at a local food cart.
If you want to really experience the history of Georgetown, then definitely don’t miss this tour!

This is one of the best tours I have joined on viator. Tiger is extremely knowledgable and I learnt so much about Penang during the tour. He also showed me some local traditional businesses which were interesting! I would totally recommend this tour to my friends!
