Lovely half day tour of Penang - Many thanks to Ang for very enjoyable half day Penang tour. We were smoothly picked up from the airport and first port of call was Penang Hill. Thanks to Ang we miraculously managed to skip the long queues and have had excellent views from our seats in the car to the top. Ang was very flexible with the way we navigated through our trip and with limited time we have decided to skip Kek Lok Si Temple and opted for George Town tour which was excellent as Ang led us through the places normally not seen by the tourists. We have finished our half day tour with a very nice lunch and were dropped off back at the airport with enough time to get a cup of tea before heading back to Langkawi. Well recommended

Half day Penang experience with Lester Lam - Organisation of the trip was through email and WhatsApp and meeting up with Lester was easy as he picked us up at our hotel. We had requested to visit Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si Temple. Arrived at Penang Hill, parked up and caught the funicular train. Being a weekday, it was fairly quiet. Once up on the hill, Lester took lots of photos and shared his abundance of knowledge with us. From there, we drove to Kek Lok Si Temple Again, Lester was very knowledgeable, sharing information about the Buddhist religion and also the building of the temple. On travelling back into George Town, we had a chat about the local food which resulted in an impromptu stop at a local wet market to sample the local delicacies Lester was very enthusiastic, wanting us to try all his favourite dishes. What an experience! Loved every minute of it - thank you very much Lester!

so so experience - it was a rainny daily and not much you can do. Not really enjoy with the tour and feel the tour guide try to finish the tour ASAP. Recommend us to pay extra $100 to the Express Check-in in the Penang Hill train ticket.
