Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si Buddhist Temple Tour

It would be impossible to do this tour without a car and i suspect a local guide. I had a very informative and friendly guide and this was enjoyable tour. I learned a lot more about the history of Penang too.

Great afternoon with our awesome guide Our guide knew all the right spots to take photo and best seats on the train. Good afternoon in Penang

Traveled with my cousin who was visiting from Melbourne. It was her first trip to Penang (Hill). Although having myself been to Penang Hill before, this trip was was made interesting by our guide. The information provided gave me a new perspective about the place. The visit to Kek Lok Si temple was simple magnificent. We both found it extremely beautiful, not just from the architecture of the temple but from the stories and information provided by our guide. He was very knowledgeble about the places he took us to and also most of the sites we passed on the way to Penang Hill and the temple. He even suggested a place to eat which was simply good. Overall, it was a very informative and interesting trip. We both loved it. The views were just amazing!

some walking but very good tour of Penang. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Guide was excellent. Schedule worked well. The sites on this trip were extraordinary. On the hill, I even had some extra time to take tea and scones at the restaurant built into a beautiful British colonial building.

Excellent tour, just my husband and I, was picked up by our lovely guide from our cruise terminal and had a one to one tour of the city and the temple.On the penang hill railway he even made sure we had the best view as we traveled up the hill, would highly recommend afternoon tea in the gardens of the old colonial tea rooms.

This presentation was only slightly better than a high school play. Whatever the ad says about this do not expect food nor pickup from hotel.

Excellent tour with very informative guide. He went out of his way to explain the sights seen along the way driving to and from and between the 2 main sites

I was the only person on this tour not a bit deal, I've done many other tours that I have also been the only person, but generally that has enhanced the tour. The bus was not air-conditioned and Malaysia was experiencing an extreme heatwave and my driver/guide, although very nice was not really informative or knowledgeable about the history or any other aspect. It was kind of like having asked a taxi drive to take me around, where he just pointed at things and would indicate if it was a temple etc, they type of things I generally could figure out myself. He stayed downstairs and had a snooze on the plastic chair while I climbed the Kek Lok Si temple to be fair it WAS very hot and chatted to his friend on the cable car. The best part of the tour to be honest, was when the driver talked to me about his life and family on the way home, at which time I think we were both feeling considerable relief that is was nearly over. I chose this tour because it got such rave reviews and I suspect that perhaps the regular tour driver/guide was ill and I got a fill in, because there is simply no way this tour matches up with what I'd read online. It's the only explanation really. My guide though nice was clearly bored and desperate for it to be over and couldn't be described as informative by even the most generous person.

Excellent tour of Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si Temple. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend this tour
