Itinerario
Tempio Chayamangkalaram, Tempio birmano di Dhammikarama, Strade di George Town - Sito Patrimonio dell'Umanità UNESCO. Wat Chayamangkalaram è un tempio tailandese a Penang famoso per il suo grande Buddha sdraiato placcato in oro (non un Buddha dormiente), che a 33 metri, è uno dei più grandi del mondo
Quindi visiterai anche la collina di Penang, dove viaggerai su un funicolare fino alla sua vetta a 833 m sul livello del mare per godere di una spettacolare vista panoramica su Georgetown e la terraferma Butterworth. Bungalows coloniali si trovano intorno a questa collina a causa degli inglesi che preferiscono rimanere in un clima più fresco rispetto all'ambiente caldo e umido della città.
Successivamente, visiterai il tempio di Kek Lok Si. Costruito nel 1891 come un piccolo santuario, da allora si è ampliato fino a diventare uno dei templi più maestosi e più grandi del sud-est asiatico. Sin dalla sua fondazione nel 1930, la "Pagoda dei Diecimila Buddha" è considerata una delle meraviglie architettoniche più belle di Penang in quanto è in grado di incorporare 3 culture in una struttura: base ottagonale cinese, fila centrale tailandese e corona birmana. Una statua in bronzo di Guan Yin - Dea della Misericordia di 30,2 m è stata eretta nel 2002 sul punto più alto del tempio. È raggiungibile tramite un ascensore inclinato al centro. Sulla strada, ci fermeremo per un assaggio gratuito del famoso caffè bianco / tè di Penang a Coffee Tree e anche a Crown Pewter per la dimostrazione - Testimone del modo in cui viene realizzato l'artigianato malese. Fine del tour ritorno al tuo hotel in un veicolo con aria condizionata.

We are especially pleased that the private vehicle made it easier for you to explore the main highlights of Penang without having to walk too much in the heat and humidity.

Driver was great picked us up on time and we drove to The Temple, bought our own tickets (not included) went to Penang Hill express tickets included £16 if we had bought or own. Went into George Town then back to the hotel. Paid £131 for 2 if we had used taxis would have been £50-£60 feel ripped off
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you were happy with the driver, including his punctuality and service during the day. We are sorry to hear that you felt the tour was not good value for the price. We completely understand that when comparing the cost with taking taxis independently, the difference can be noticeable. Our tour price covers more than individual taxi fares, including private transportation for the duration of the tour, a dedicated driver, coordination of the itinerary, and the convenience of having the vehicle waiting for you throughout the day rather than arranging separate taxis between each location. The Penang Hill fast-lane ticket is also included in the tour, while some attraction entrance fees are not included, as stated in the tour details. That said, we sincerely appreciate your feedback. It helps us understand how our guests view the overall value of the experience and where we can improve our communication. We are glad that the driver provided good service and collected you on time, and we hope you still enjoyed your time exploring Penang. Thank you again for choosing us and for sharing your honest experience. Best regards, M. Zaid Way to Malaysia
Mr. Teh Tee is the absolute best tour guide in all of Penang. I am convinced. He was not an "official" guide, as he let us go into places on our own like Penang Hill, but he is a real font of information. Extremely helpful, kind, I wish I had known ahead of time to book him 100% for our trip in Penang, as he was the loveliest, nicest, kindest uncle ever to bring us around. We all wished we had more time to learn from him, visit more of Penang and especially to really take in the city through his eyes. If you get him be sure to consider booking him for the next whole day (Penang is a real mess to drive around in), and he was extremely accommodating to my elderly parents. He went above and beyond.
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for giving us such a fantastic rating. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We are especially happy to hear that Mr. Teh made your visit to Penang so enjoyable. Your kind words about his helpfulness, kindness, local knowledge, and care for your elderly parents mean a great deal to us. We will certainly share your lovely feedback with him. It is wonderful to know that you enjoyed exploring Penang Hill and the city, and that Mr. Teh helped make your day comfortable and memorable. We completely understand your feeling that there was not enough time to see and learn more about Penang! Thank you again for choosing us and for your recommendation. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you, your family, and your parents back to Penang again in the future. We would be delighted to show you even more of our beautiful island. Warm regards, M. Zaid
A big thank you to Mr Teh who drove our family of four around Georgetown, and gave us a tour of Kek Lok Si temple, drove us (and advised us on what to do) to Penang Hill. He also drove us to the Ong family temple, and to the Nyonya Peranakan museum, Chew Jetty, the Fort, as well as several places where the locals eat. Mr. Teh was outstanding, and was chock full of knowledge about everything on the tour and on the history of Penang. Without his insights and experience, you would never know the finer details of what you're looking at, or experiencing. Without his driving skills and navigation around Georgetown, you would never be able to go anywhere without the fear of causing an accident or getting lost (the traffic here is crazy, the streets are very narrow and there are a ton of pedestrians and motorcycles). Parking is also nearly non existent in the downtown area. Finally, without his knowledge of where to go around the town, you could miss most of the best places to see in your limited time in Georgetown. These things are exactly why you must book him for as a tour guide.
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and wonderful review. We are truly delighted to know that your family of four had such a fantastic experience exploring Penang with Mr. Teh. We’re especially happy to hear that his knowledge, driving skills, local insights, and recommendations helped you discover not only Penang’s famous attractions, but also some of the hidden details and local experiences that can easily be missed. Mr. Teh will be very pleased to hear your kind words. We believe that a great guide does more than simply take guests from one place to another — they help bring the destination, its history, culture, food, and people to life. Thank you again for your trust and for recommending Mr. Teh so highly. It was a pleasure having your family with us, and we hope to welcome you all back to Penang and Malaysia in the future. Warm regards, M. Zaid Way To Kuala Lumpur

this tour is well worth taking. It is self guided as were were less than 8 (just 2 of us) and they give you a driver. The tour is pretty self explanatory. The views from the top of Penang hill are amazing if you luck out with the weather, as we did. The funicular is a fun ride to experience but fast lane is a MUST or you will have a long wait. Walk up to David Browns cafe and have a cold one up there. The building is well worth seeing. You really only need an hour up here on the hill at most. Lek Lok Si Temple is the highlight of this tour, take your time to walk through the multiple temples and climb up the pagoda. The itinerary says this is only and hour but you can easily spend multiple hours walking through these temples. I would spend more time here than on Penang Hill. Chaiya Mangalaram Thai Buddhist Temple, as well as the Burmese temple across the street, are beautiful. Walk up to the top of the pagoda in the Burmese temple. 45 in both temples if plenty but worth seeing.
