chaz cruiser Posted July 11 #1 Share Posted July 11 Hi, We are going on a cruise stopping at Phuket, Penang & Port Kelang. There will be 10 adults and 1 child (8) and we were thinking we may do local tours rather than the expensive ship tours. We know the risks and would be looking for 1/2 day tours to manage the risk. I have reviewed Viator but am looking for recommendations from people who have actually used the tour companies and found them reputable. Thanks in advance, Chaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lyndarra Posted July 11 #2 Share Posted July 11 When in Singapore about 18 years ago, I found it difficult to find tours in Malayasia. Ended up taking a bus to Malacca. If no luck here, I suggest you try Trip Advisor which is a Cruise Critic partner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted July 11 #3 Share Posted July 11 We have just grabbed a cab/ van with driver at the port after organising itinerary, timings and price. Just make sure you negotiate all three before committing. This was done this at all 3 ports. Research things to do and see at each port (tripadvisor) and compare with ships tours and viatour for ideas and price guides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elorac123 Posted July 13 #4 Share Posted July 13 We have used toursbylocals in Penang and had great contact with them, it was a few years ago so can’t remember exactly who we had but had a great tour with them. Cheers Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do be very clear about where you want to go and set price before you even enter the vehicle. Local currency preferred over cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
