★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 454 reviews · from $32Our pick

Half-day cycling in Penang countryside from George Town with van pickup, small group pacing, village stops, and a goat farm break.

“I received a message the morning (06.00) of my pick-up saying I would now have to walk to a new point by 0.700. We drove past my original pick-up on the way to the start. Bikes were antiquated, dirty and badly maintained. It took 3 attempts to get a bike that was safe. Bike ride not worthy of note.”
