Overview

Please note that Penang Hill will be closed for maintenance in June 2025, and access to the hill by train will not be available. This is a private tour, meaning it’s just you or your group. Unlike a fixed itinerary tour, this tour allows you to visit the attractions of your choice. The tour starts from the pick-up point. For a 4-hour visit, you can select 2-3 attractions on Penang Island (travel time is not included in the duration). For example, choose from: Penang Hill Kek Lok Si Pinang Peranakan Mansion Clan Jetty Street Art Murals You decide which places to visit and how much time to spend at each. You can explore in-depth or simply take photos and move on. If you're unsure where to go, let our tour guide suggest options for you. The guide will accompany you at each attraction and provide commentary along the way. Penang is a land of charm, and you'll be surprised by what it has to offer – you’ll wish you had more time here!

Itinerary

  • 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!

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • 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".

    1 hour

  • Pinang Peranakan Mansion

    See the former house built by a Chinese Captain, Mr. Chung Keng Kwee, called the Pinang Peranakan Mansion. This elite house full of antiques and collectibles from east and west, featured many recollection memories when the Chinese immigrants inter-marriage with the locals and created a fusion of east meets locals, hence a new tradition was borne. It is also a popular shooting location of choice for Malaysian, Singaporean and Chinese movies.

    1 hour

  • Penang Street Art

    We will go murals art hunting by visiting 3-4 of Penang famous street art murals by Ernest Zacharevic from Lithuania in back alleys. See "Children on Bicycle", "Boy Climbing Wall", "Boy on Motorcycle"and "Boy with Pet Dinosaur". The arts are lively and interesting, literally jumps out for your attention.

Lovely half day tour of Penang

Published on Feb, 2025

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

A very enjoyable trip
