5.00our guy was wonderful. He made sure we got everywhere and saw so many wonderful things. He would always park and drop us off right next to the attraction so we didn't have to walk. The attractions were just so fabulous.
Worthwhile trip up Penang Hill!!

5.00Penang hill and a ride with a buggy at the top was memorable. We did not have time to walk the sky bridge as it was very hot. But the environment was clean and everybody very friendly and helpfull.
