artman10 Posted December 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2023 None of the tours are giving much interest.... but we are hoping to at least have lunch while there. We arrive at 12pm next month. Are there a lot of readily available taxis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfaaa Posted December 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2023 No need taxi. Penang has free shuttle bus to downtown and other point of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria63 Posted December 29, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 29, 2023 There´s no need for a taxi or other form of transport if you just want to have lunch in town. There are very good food courts within easy walking distance from the cruise pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JourneyJim Posted February 1 #4 Share Posted February 1 How’s your trip to Penang, @artman10? Were you able to have lunch downtown or at food courts nearby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedemills Posted February 12 #5 Share Posted February 12 We did a ship excursion which was great, but when we returned, we hired a rickshaw to take us on an hour ride. That was the highlight of the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dedemills Posted February 13 #7 Share Posted February 13 I think we paid around $20-$25. We paid in Malaysian currency and I think it was 100 MYR for an hour. This was our driver and he was great! He took us to all kinds of street art and posed us for pics lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a really fun local way to see more of the city. The personalized tour with photos adds to the memories of the visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
