My family and I had a wonderful all day tour with Mr. C K Low. We highly recommend a day trip with this friendly, informative and courteous tour guide. C K went out of his way to make us comfortable and took us to many wonderful Penang sites, where he knew a lot about the history and stories of the area. If you go to Penang then hire C K Low for the day, you won’t regret it!

Hi
Greetings from HK. would want to know if you do regular durian farm tour; if so, are there any dates/itinerary with approximate price for 1 day tour. Am thinking of going to Penang this year (June?) with mother and brother (3 pax at the moment, maybe more later) and would like to know the cost and logistics so that I may do planning.
regards, Susan

Hello Rasa Malaysia Great info keep up the great recipes coming Thx:)
Dear CK Low,
On the 13t July 2102 with a group of 8 adults we were lead by Alex for a 9 hour food tour. We were very pleased with the service. The guide was very friendly AND patient throughout, very flexible arrangement and at the end of the day we extended to another 5 hours of tour the next day where he patiently brought us over to Butterworth through the Penang bridge and back by ferry.
Strongly recommend this service for Penang tour.
