Kek Lok Si Temple tours

Inspite of the heavy rain, we had a great time exploring PeNang Hill and Kek Lok Si Temple. Thank you to our guide for doing extra mile for us. God bless

price is a bit high considering all tickets and meals are not included, but the tour guide was very kind and friendly, recommended a few good places which are not in the itinerary and waited us in the shopping mall before sent us back to hotel!

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.

Tour guide Ricky Ooi had been in close contact with me before I set off. The original itinerary specified a meeting at Long Cheng Hotel. He flexibly arranged to pick us up at our hotel in George Town, which made us feel at ease 👍🏻 and arrived at the hotel in advance. He introduced us to the precautions and items of the relevant itinerary, so that we arrived at Penang Hill as soon as possible and took the first cable car 🚡 and guided us to the best position in the car to enjoy the scenery along the way 👍🏻 Advance reminder of various attractions, the wonderful places made us dazzled 👍🏻 The most exciting thing was that under his guidance, I enjoyed a perfect sunrise for the first time in history 🌅 The red sun suddenly rose on the horizon, which was shocking 🤩 Because it had just rained the day before, the sky was extremely bright, showing golden clouds, even the people on the day shouted that they had never seen it before, and finally saw a rainbow 🌈 It is really a rare opportunity 🧚🏻‍♀️ The most fortunate thing is that we were able to bump into Vicky, who has more than 30 years of tour guide experience. His professionalism is impeccable. The angle of the story of each attraction is very good. He also took care of our needs and took us to the Siam Sisters Curry Noodle Shop, which has won Michelin for two consecutive years, for breakfast and tasted the taste of food 👍🏻 RICKY is very experienced in leading private tours. He knows that customers have their own preferences, so he arranged flexible time and introduced the characteristics of the market in detail first, gave us time to move freely, and also treated us to the local specialty fried bananas 🍌👍🏻 When we were finally sent back to the hotel, it was still before 3:00 pm. He used his previous status to help us successfully lobby the hotel to let us check in early 👍🏻 Next time I come to Penang, I must find Ricky as a private tour guide 👍🏻 He is really a five-star tour guide 🤩 I sincerely recommend it to everyone 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The three of us arrived on a cruise ship and only had a few hours in Penang. Our tour guide, William, was wonderful. He picked us up in his car at the port, took us to the Kek Lok Si temple and guided us to the best photo spots and the most interesting sites. He spoke good English and was very helpful. He parked at the very top so we didn’t have to walk up in the heat. Then he drove us down to every level and also gave us some free time to explore. After the temple he drove us to Penang Hill. It looked like it was about to rain, so William customized the schedule to show us as much as possible in the short time. The line to Penang Hill funicular was extremely long, if we were in a regular line it probably would have taken us an hour, but the tour included fast pass tickets, which was wonderful! William guided us ahead of the line, shows where to sit for the best views and walked with us to all the highlight on the hill. It was really a perfect tour and good value for the money. Highly recommend!

We arrived at 2:30 and were warmly received by a staff member who arranged for tour guide Eric to start the activity. Since we only purchased the guided tour program, the staff reminded us that we could add juice and fruit plate for an additional RM10 per person. Eric carefully explained the different kinds of fruits in the world, picked fresh fruits from the trees for us to taste and experience, and taught us how to choose the best fruits on the market. It was an eye-opener for us and we got to know many fruits we had never seen before. Finally, I couldn’t get a Grab at 17:00, so the staff helped me solve the problem. They close at 17:30, but it’s more expensive, but it’s better than staying on the mountain. It’s recommended to call a car as soon as possible after arriving, or participate in activities at an earlier time.

Group size: 2 people Tour guide: Mr. Huang Attractions along the way: Kapitan Jining Mosque, Guanyin Pavilion, St. George's Church, Little India, Fire Station, Xingzhou Bridge, Haikeng Food Center, Mural Street Rest: Haikeng Food Center Tour guide Mr. Huang is worthy of being a 30-year old tour guide, with rich experience, sufficient knowledge reserves, and humorous words. He took us to walk slowly in the ruins area, chatting while walking, seeing many different scenery, and hearing many different stories. The whole process was very careful about our physical distribution, and we were not particularly tired.

Our guide Mr Gooi was friendly & attentive. He shared about local history & brought us to some interesting places like the fishing village, balik pulau, the durian plantation for a durian feast and a car ride through the local scenery. Ideal for those wanting to slow down to enjoy a relaxing pace. Klook tours are reliable & value for money.
