Private Highlights of Penang

You will have a new appreciation of this Pearl of the Orient after this informative tour of the island from seashore to countryside. Stop and observe the locals at a charming fishing village, then witness the traditional handicraft of batik painting in true cottage industry fashion. Head to the countryside and be introduced to classic tropical spices such as clove and nutmeg. Examine local fruits like Durian and try your hand at the art of rubber tapping.
