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".

5.00We had a great experience with our guide Eng! He taught us so much about the history and culture in Penang - things we would have never learned if we tried to see these sites without him. He also made sure to use the entire 6 hours effectively and when we had extra time at the end he took us to a fun Food museum based on our interests. He even had waters for us in the car to ensure we stayed hydrated. He also was sure to take many pictures of us at all the spots around town. Highly recommend!

5.00The guide Mr Law was exceptional. He was patient in answering all our questions. He had in depth historical knowledge about the region and was able to pull the whole thing together and also regularly talking abt Singapore when he knew we lived there. He was considerate especially knowing I wasn’t able to walk as much. Once he was aware of my husband’s and mine somewhat different interests, he made sure that he covered both aspects. He has aroused my interest of history in the region and will be definitely following up with the reading when I get back.

5.00Our tour guide was brilliant and knowledgeable about Penang and its history. He was very helpful in taking us to where we wanted to go but also asking if we want accompanied which was exactly what we wanted. Otherwise we would have been stuck in the queue for hours. Would highly recommend Law as your travel guide in Penang to make it personalised and private

5.00This kind of photography tour is very convenient because I got to choose what I wanted to see and where I want to go. My guide, Lester, was very helpful, systematic and informative. He was able to describe the culture and places that we visited. He also helped me choose where to shoot the sunset.

5.00Great experience, great Guide. The guide gave us a map with all touristic possibilities and a story of things we could plan. The quide was smooth, quick and telling us a lot of the culture. He was leading us through a lot of great moments. The city, the Temple, the railcar to the top. The food jetty wereld People live. We feel this quide is very professional and a lot of experience. Great moments.
