Reviews
The temple (Ultimate Happiness?) was gorgeous & so beautiful. Our group's guide 'Mr. Gshen' was so kind & tell us the history, culture & background enthusiastically. He drove us almost up to the temple whereas individual tourists had to walk up a long way. We were given express tickets for the train up to the Penang Hill with no waiting! Penang Hill gave us full panoramic view of Penang. I strongly recommend this tour inspite of a bit expensive choice.
A wonderful day spent with the tour guide package we took for kek lok si temple and penanghill .But unfortunately penang hill got cancelled as tree fell on train track there.Still the guide operators where kind enough to refund and as an extra a free tour of Georgetown .Eventhough we explored but didn't have enough time to explore the Georgetown completely ,the tour guide completed our trip. Very happy with our guide GShen ,an interactive and helpful person .well knowledged about locality and culture. Recommend the tour guide experience to all. Thankyou Gshen
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
