Summary:
Ronald Wong was an excellent guide and within our 6 hour tour we learnt so much about Georgetown and Malaysian culture. Ronald took time to explain many historical, religious, cultural and social aspects that make Georgetown so unique. The places we visited were varied and this made the tour very interesting. Ronald encouraged us to ask questions, which he answered clearly and, when necessary, in some detail. The tour flowed seamlessly, as Ronald managed all the admissions and organisational aspects with little fuss. Our driver, Stephen, got us from place to place capably, maximising the short time we had in Georgetown. We highly recommend this tour!
