We are a family of 4, with kids at age 10. It was an awesome experience for the kids, and wonderful time for us all. Our tour guide, Eddie, was very nice and knowledgeable. He gave us a glimpse of the local life without boring us with lengthy details, it was just right for the kids! Eddie has a good relationship with the local villagers, which made us felt very welcome by them as well. We enjoyed riding in the nature, seeing the palm oil plantation, understanding the local life, and tasting kaya toast and a cup of teh and kopi in the local cafe. The kids definitely enjoyed feeding the animals at the farm. It was a half day well spent and it was worth waking up before sunrise!

Pleasant bike ride in the countryside of Penang. Great guide speaking English and Mandarin with lots of stories and facts about the culture and the region. Pickup and dropoff (we could even pick a random dropoff spot in Penang) without any issue. Recommended to anyone who wants to explore rural Penang.

A very enjoyable morning, away from the bustling streets of Georgetown. Eddy is a great guide, giving us lots of interesting information and answering all of our questions. Some of the bikes need maintenance, but our two were fine for the purpose. Great pick up and return service. About 10 kms of easy riding through the countryside with several stops - including Malay fishing village, Chinese fishing village, goat farm. Coffee and cake, and goat milk icecream included. Fully recommended.

TC was a fantastic guide who provided a lot of interesting information about balik pulau. The farm stop was very interesting and i lover the interaction with the animal. The pick-up and drop-off went very well.
