Penang is an island off the northwestern coast of Peninsular Malaysia, by the Strait of Malacca. The history of this island has resulted in a culture that is one of Malaysia’s most diverse, cosmopolitan and exciting.
Penang's beaches are nice, though a little lacklustre when compared to those in some other Malaysian states, but this is more than compensated for by the island's rich multicultural history which is full of Malay, Chinese, Indian and European influences. Penang is also well known domestically and in Singapore for being the "food paradise" of Malaysia.
Yet it would be a shame to neglect Penang's abundant tropicalness, its palm-fringed beaches and fishing villages; its mountainous jungle and farms growing exotic produce such as nutmeg and durian!
This is my first ever review on Yelp! I want to start off by saying that I have been purchasing airline tickets through Trip Designs for almost ten years now. Since I have family overseas, I travel frequently, and so do other members of my family. Not only we always get the best deals (far cheaper than anything online), but, even more importantly, enjoy very professional and fast service.
On a couple of occasions, I've had to purchase tickets on an extremely short notice (same day travel to Europe), and Sladjana was able to find me excellent deals. A few other times, I had to re-do the tickets, change dates and extend travel - and did so without any issues. The representatives patiently worked with me via numerous emails and phone calls, to better accommodate my requests.
I started recommending Trip Designs to other family and friends about five-six years ago - and have heard nothing but praise.
Highly recommended!
