Heritage Trail Georgetown - Penang

Penang Heritage Trust conducts heritage walking tours and guests are taken on a tour by qualified guides who have been trained by PHT to conduct tours in a professional manner. The history of Penang has been made fable by too many self proclaimed guides (a few in the guise of trishaw pullers!) At the end of the day, Travellers leave Penang not knowing truth from lie... Join PHT's tour for some truth in matter....

'Penang Heritage Trust is a membership based non-government organisation, open to all'
