Our Singapore to Penang itinerary is one of the most popular and easy to follow travel itineraries in all of Asia. We travel North up the Malaysian Peninsular, and give the visitor a fascinating cross section of modern Asian life, from the hustle and bustle of two of Asia's major cities. In addition, this Malaysian travel itinerary visits some wonderful islands, some of the best beaches in Asia, as well as incorporating some wonderful history associated with the Straights Settlements of the 1800's and some wild and well preserved natural wonderlands. As a plus, both Singapore and Malaysia have close historical association with England and thus are culturally and linguistically simple for Westerners, probably more so than any other Asian Itinerary.
