To reach the temple's main entrance, you'll have to run the gauntlet of souvenir stalls on the uphill path. You'll also pass a pond packed with turtles. There are a lot of stairs involved, but the final stretch up to the statute of Goddess of Mercy is covered by a funicular.

Reviews
Our guide Lawrence picked us up at our hotel in a mini bus, not the private vehicle we expected. However, we were the only two people on the tour.
The tour itself was very good, with Lawrence pointing out places of interest as we travelled to Kek Lok Si temple. This was a very impressive structure, and Lawrence's explanations and information added to our enjoyment of the building.
We then travelled to Penang Hill and boarded the funicular railway. Lawrence managed to get us right at the front of the train on the ascent and right at the back on the descent which were the best viewpoints for this impressive ride.
We enjoyed Penang Hill very much, and would have liked more time to explore. After descending on the railway, Lawrence returned us to our hotel. Overall, a very enjoyable tour.
