Penang’s George Town is packed with cultural and architectural must-sees and, perhaps above all, a dizzying choice of must-try places for sampling the famous Malaysian cuisine. And zipping from place to place on a conducted tour with a fleet of Vespa scooters is an ideal, fun way to enjoy the very best of it all.
This scooter tour makes its way through winding alleyways ensuring enough time to pause and admire some exquisitely restored shop houses and clan houses, each with a unique detail placed there for feng shui purposes. Then there’s a scheduled tour of the Blue Estate, where the resident guide gives visitors a fascinating account of its history and ancestry and a special mention of the visionary who made this opulent residence a reality. There’s an option to end the trip after this tour, but we highly recommend staying on for an excellent lunch at the Blue Mansion’s legendary Indigo restaurant.
