Passeios por Kek Lok Si Temple

great adventure to tour round some key attractions in penang..one day would be enough but can always come back another day

It was an extraordinary experience with uncomplicated communication with the tour guide regarding pickup. The areas visited (Penang Hill with the funicular railway and the Kek Lok Si Temple) were impressive. Especially around the New Year's festival, the temple was decorated with many lanterns. There is so much to discover and see, you could easily 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 going back to the hotel hungry.

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 their history. The program was well-structured, and we were able to cover the places leisurely. We look forward to more trips with Klook. Thanks

Our guide, Mr. G, is the best guide ever! He taught us everything we needed and was very humorous! Together with our driver, Uncle Raman, they were the best!

The temple (Ultimate Happiness?) was gorgeous and so beautiful. Our group's guide, Mr. Gshen, was very kind and enthusiastically told us about the history, culture, and background. He drove us almost all the way to the temple, whereas individual tourists had to walk a long way. We were given express tickets for the train up to Penang Hill with no waiting! Penang Hill offered us a full panoramic view of Penang. I strongly recommend this tour, despite it being a bit expensive.

Our tour guide, Ricky Ooi, was in close contact with us before our departure. The original itinerary specified meeting at the Dragon City Hotel, but he flexibly arranged for pickup at our hotel in George Town, which was very reassuring. He arrived at the hotel early to brief us on the itinerary and important details, allowing us to reach Penang Hill promptly and catch the first cable car. He even guided us to the best spots inside the car to enjoy the scenery during the ride. He gave us advance tips on each attraction, highlighting their best features, which kept us captivated. The most exciting part was, under his guidance, I witnessed a perfect sunrise for the first time ever. The crimson sun suddenly rose above the horizon, which was breathtaking. As it had just rained the day before, the sky was incredibly clear and adorned with golden, shimmering clouds. Even locals exclaimed they had never seen such a sight, and we even saw a rainbow – truly a rare and fortunate occurrence! We were incredibly lucky to encounter Vicky, a guide with over 30 years of experience. His professionalism was impeccable; he introduced the stories behind each attraction and the best photo spots with great precision. He also catered to our needs, taking us to the Siamese Sister Curry Mee shop, which has received Michelin recognition for two consecutive years, for breakfast, allowing us to savor delicious food. Ricky is very experienced in leading private tours; he understands that clients have their own preferences, so he arranged flexible timings. He first thoroughly introduced the characteristics of the local market, giving us time for free activities, and even treated us to local specialty fried bananas. Finally, when he dropped us back at the hotel, it was not yet 3:00 PM. He leveraged his connections to successfully persuade the hotel to allow us early check-in. The next time I visit Penang, I will definitely seek out Ricky as my private guide. He truly is a five-star guide! I wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone!

El precio es un poco alto considerando que no incluye todas las entradas ni las comidas, pero el guía turístico fue muy amable y simpático, nos recomendó algunos buenos lugares que no estaban en el itinerario y nos esperó en el centro comercial antes de llevarnos de vuelta al hotel.

It was a truly great experience. The guide was incredibly helpful and shared all the background details of the temple and its culture. We were amazed by the statues, and it was a very interactive session with the guide.
