Penang Kek Lok Si & Penang Hill Half-Day Guided Tour

It was an extraordinary experience with straightforward communication with the tour guide for pickup. The areas visited (Penang Hill with the funicular railway and the Kek Lok Si Temple) were impressive. Especially around the time of the New Year festival, the temple was decorated with many lanterns. There is so much to discover and see, you could spend a whole day there. It was simply great! On the way back, you can also be dropped off at a Hawker center for lunch instead of returning to the hotel hungry.

it was a really great experience.The guide was really helpful and shared all the background details of the temple and the culture of it. We were amaze of those statues and it was really interactive session with guide.

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!

William was a great tour guide and was very well versed in the history of penang hills and the temple. He also waited for us while we went to the rainforest at penang hills. overall a very positive experience!

Guide was able to plan the itinerary well to avoid the crowd. Helpful in taking photos and friendly + patient to explain the sites. Recommended local cuisine and also because we are eating vegetarian, he even drop us off at a vegetarian stall near our hotel.

Last minute booking & organiser, William checked with me if is ok to go in the afternoon instead of morning before confirming the booking. It became a pte tour for us & we fully utilised the 4hrs. Mother Nature gave us the right weather to participate the tour! We loved it…

Kek Lok Si temple was very big and not so crowded. But Penang hill was very crowded and needed to wait long for the ride up and down. May be good to chooose a weekday for this tour. It’s quite cooling up on the hill and will be better to bring a light jacket. The scenery was great and we took many photo.

Penang Hill is a must to visit for a solo travellers like me. and the nearby attraction worth exploring kek lok Si temple thru the guide of beautiful Serene 😍😍🤩 is a big advantage.

We recently had the pleasure of taking a tour of Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si Temple, and it was an experience that beautifully showcased the cultural and natural beauty of Penang. *Penang Hill:* Our first stop was Penang Hill. The journey to the top via the funicular train was unique and enjoyable. Once on top we enjoyed the scenic beauty of Penang and top view of the landscape around. *Kek Lok Si Temple:* Next, we visited Kek Lok Si Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. The temple complex is a marvel of architecture and spiritual ambiance. Overall the tour was very good with knowledgeable guide who was very helpful and accompanied us through out.

we loved and enjoyed every part of this tour. Lee was very friendly and took us to the best spots. We even had our portraits done. This is our best tour on this trip. We rate it a 10/10.
