What you'll do
Explore one of the most historical sites in all of Malaysia
The unique geographical position of George Town made it a great center of trade for the last few centuries. This made George Town a unique combination of Chinese, Indian, Malay, and British communities, which is still seen very clearly in their architecture and food today. Your tour will take you through all the greatest attractions in the city in an air-conditioned vehicle, including the old Fort Carnwells, the serene Reclining Buddha, and so much more. Spend your day exploring the layers of history in George Town, and finally head to a local market to shop for souvenirs and local food! As a fun way to wrap up an adventure, everyone will get one secret dish to try at the market!
