The best way to get to know Penang Island and enjoy its many tourist attractions is to approach them in an organized fashion. On this page are self-guided tours which I have personally created. The intention of these self-guided tours is to group and present the tourist attractions according to a logical sequence.

With these self-guided tours, you can explore Penang on your own, at your own time and pace. In addition to not having to pay a tour guide, these free tours provide you an absorbing experience, bringing you upclose to the sights, allowing you to spend more time in places that particularly fascinates you, creating memorable moments for your vacation in Penang. These self-guided tours may be free, by helping you experience Penang in this beautiful way, they are truly priceless.

As most of the heritage sites of Penang Island are located in George Town, the self-guided tours are also centred there. In most cases, they are walking tours which you can do on foot. To cover sights where are outside the Inner Core of George Town, you may need to get public transport - for this, I recommend using the Rapid Penang Bus which has an extensive network all over Penang. You can check the Rapid Penang Bus Routes here.

Compare and Find the Lowest Hotel Room Rate

Booking hotel rooms online is today the most convenient and cost-effective way to get accomodation. But do you know that different Hotel Booking websites actually offer the same hotel room at different prices? If you just stick with one Hotel Booking site, you could be paying more for the same reservation. Why pay more?

At Penang Travel Tips, I want to encourage people to become informed travelers. Before you book your hotel room, use the free Hotel Search Engine below to find out the rates offered by the major Hotel Booking Sites. First, the engine shows you the rates from different hotels. Select the hotel, and it will show you the rates for the same room offered by different Booking Sites. You will see that the different sites really offer different rates! Select the Hotel Booking Site that offers the most attractive rate and you could well be saving a good amount of money.






Flying somewhere? Compare Flight Prices from different Airlines



Now everybody can book flights online. It's the cost effective way, cutting out the travel agent. But which airlines has the lowest-priced seats for the date you are flying? It would be tedious to go from one airline website to another just to compare their prices. But there's better way to go about that.

Use our free Flight Search Engine to compare the rates offered by different Airlines for the date destination. First we show you the best price from different airlines. Select which one you prefer, and we take you to the airline website. It saves you a whole lot of time comparing prices from different airlines sites.
