What to expect

Have a great time exploring Penang, even if you only have four hours. After a convenient hotel pick up, you will get to see a number of key attractions in the city. The tour starts off with a visit to the Kek Lok Si Temple where you can marvel at the 7 Tier Pagoda of the 10,000 Buddhas. In addition to this, you will see the 30.2 meter bronze statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy. This compact tour also takes you to new heights – literally – because you will get to rise 833 metres above sea level aboard the funicular train ride to the top of Penang Hill. By the end of the tour, you'll have ticked off many of Penang's key sights.

Ranjit - our driver / guide displayed high levels of hospitality. He showed us the Kek Lok Si Temple and Penang hill. He was very knowledgeable about the places and it’s history. The program was well structured and we were able to cover the places leisurely. We look forward to more trips with Klook. Thanks

Mr. Ong did an excellent job in making our short trip worth every penny. we communicated ahead that we will be visiting the Habitat, and he agreed. The fast lane ticket made our entire Penang Hill trip smooth. He made special arrangment to drop us by a nearby food hub. Mr. Ong is easy to go with, not arrogant nor hot headed. He us very patient and a very good driver. For a private tour of 3, it was surely a trip to remember.

Everything is good. Since it's a peak season, the price is too high but you were able to enjoy a vip access. So skipping the 2 hour line is a yes for me. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and accomodating and even drop us in a good restaurant after the tour.

Mr Ong is knowledgeable and polite, also a safe driver. we enjoyed our tip to the temple, it’s good that he can drive us all the way to the top (don’t need walk up). Penang Hill cable care express lane is a bonus. The lines are very long but luckily we don’t need to wait. The restaurant David Brown is very tasty.

These places are one for the books. we enjoyed our tour and it was quite fun. our tour guide Shawn gave a lot of insights and was even kind enough to give us a sugar cane juice to quench our thirsts. this place is a gem. a lot of spots are good for Instagram pics. I'm definitely coming back again with my friends and family.

I had the pleasure of experiencing a tour with a friendly and knowledgeable Mr Ong, and it was truly exceptional. From the moment we embarked on our journey, his warm demeanor and expertise created an inviting atmosphere. His deep understanding of the area's history, culture, and landmarks enriched the entire excursion, providing invaluable insights at every stop. Not only did he navigate us seamlessly through bustling streets and scenic routes, but he also went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction throughout the trip.

Highly recommend this tour if you are here for a short trip and first time to Penang! Mr Ong is very punctual and knowledgeable with the locations here. He let us tour around the temple and the penang hill free and easy at our own pace. The express ticket for the funicular that is included as well is also worthed as the queue is very long if you were to get normal tickets. For those interested in nature walks, you can pay another 60rm (per adult) to enter the UNESCO heritage conservation area at the top of penang hill. It takes about 45mins to 1hour to complete. Mr Ong is very kind to have also prepare small mineral water bottle for us and also kindly dropped us off at the place we wanted to have dinner instead of our hotel in georgetown. He also shared with us some of the must try foodstalls as we drove past stalls on our way to our dinner place and other other info about Penang city. Highly recommend!!! Thank you Mr Ong!!!

Our guide and driver Mr Teh was really great! Very good at explaining all the details about the temple and making small talk with the older folks! Also very attentive to our special needs family member. Water is provided also. Loved the experience overall! Express tickets up the monorail to Penang hill is a must. Only have a short while to explore the hill so can’t do much but will definitely come back to explore the hill for a full day in the future.
