Very enjoyable - Just 4 of us on this trip with Eddie our guide. As others have said he is funny & knowledgeable. Bikes are functional & safe for the 10k we travelled on flat, mainly tarmac paths with occasional roads (but not much traffic) water is provided plus snack & drink in village cafe & ice cream from the goat farm. You learn a lot from Eddie about the local way of life. The Trip is good value for money. Only negative is the early start - 7.20 pick up from Batu Ferringhi. But on the plus side we were back for 11.30.

Great morning activity - Loads of information about the local area and delivered by TC in a fun way. TC was a great guide and highly recommend for anyone to do this. Fantastic ice cream at the goat farm and heaps of animals that you can feed. Make sure you check the friendly emu.

Half day cycling Penang countryside - Eddy was fantastic. He is able to deliver great information about the Malaysian people and their way of life with humour allowing you to retain it. We were able experience coffee in a small fishing village and goat’s milk ice cream on the farm. Eddy is a great host and we recommend this tour!

Dr. Wendy’s Soul Journey - Eddie our guide was funny, informative and interesting. The landscape and food was perfect. It’s about a five mile easy ride with several informative stops. We even stopped for a light brunch followed by ice cream at our last stop.

Excellent all round cycling experience! - This was so much more than a cycling tour! We saw so many different parts of the Penang countryside, from coconut palm plantations, to fishing villages, to a goat farm! We learned so much about local history and culture, and got to sample some of that culture for ourselves along the way with delicious drinks and snacks. Our guide (Eddie!) was friendly, knowledgable, and enthusiastic from start to finish. I couldn't recommend it more!

Great scenery, leisurely pace. - Nice to get out of the hustle and bustle of Penang and see some countryside. Although thought of getting up so early on holiday was initially off putting, the tour was so worth it. Great guide and plenty of stops along way. Ride was leisurely which gave time to enjoy the scenery. .

The half day Penang countryside bike tour was brilliant. - The half day Penang countryside bike tour was brilliant. ‘Eddy’ was a top guide - informative and amusing. Got to see so much in a short space of time. Bikes were old, but perfectly usable. You don’t need to be particularly fit, as mostly flat surfaces and done at a leisurely pace.
