What To Expect

Penang Hill

Since the British first settled here, they had always yearn for respite from the depressing heat, thus they set sight on the highest peak in Penang i.e. Penang Hill or locally known as Bukit Bendera. They built a railway up the hill and bungalows for retreat during weekend. Here we can see the legacy of the bungalows left behind by the British beside experiencing a colder climate compared to lowland. See 360 degree view of George Town, Love Lock, Ginger Garden and monkeys!

Kek Lok Si Temple

During the British era the Chinese flourished and thrived. They practiced their religion steadfastly and built many temples that rivaled those in China, if not better! One of the better one is Kek Lok Si, better described as the largest Buddhist's theme park in South East Asia. Learn all about Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism at the temple. There is a saying here in Penang - "you have not been to Penang if you have not been to Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si".

Our guide Eng Seong was exceptional, friendly, professional and shared his extensive knowledge of Penang and Malaysia. We learned so much on the day and loved our visit to Kek Lok Si and the sites of Georgetown. Highly recommend this tour and if you are lucky you may get Eng Seong. A +++.

Loved it

Amazing time with Mr Eng Song. He was very welcoming and understood our needs well. Really enjoyed the flexibility and freedom that this tour allows so that we could do things at our own pace.

Highly recommended tour and tour guide!

Excellent tour guide! Passionate, genuine, knowledgeable of fauna/flora of Penang Hill and not a clock watcher. She was very attentive to our experience and made sure we are all right throughout. We had an amazing time with CE, we learned so much from her.

Tiger saved our day!

We met up with our guide Tiger & left it to him to take us around Penang. He was very patient & accommodating with our requests, knowledgeable & helpful in taking us to interesting places. You can feel his love for Penang with the way he talked about it. He made us want to go back to the country. Thank you so much Tiger!

Great introduction to Georgetown
