Penang Hill Railway tours

These places are one for the books. we enjoyed our tour and it was quite fun. our tour guide Shawn gave a lot of insights and was even kind enough to give us a sugar cane juice to quench our thirsts. this place is a gem. a lot of spots are good for Instagram pics. I'm definitely coming back again with my friends and family.

We went to lots of places we didn’t expect, like jetty, little India, a hundred old fire station, upside down museum, Chaiya Mangalaram Thai Buddhist Temple. It was a great experience. The tour guide was nice he also briefed us on lots of great food around our hotel and places that we can visit the other day. Tour guide and the rickshaw drivers helped us took lots of family photos with the best angles. Highly recommended.

Mr Ong was very nice. We finished early as we were quick in taking pictures and there was no traffic, so he took us to another area to take more pictures and shopping then dropped us off to a Michelin restaurant we wanted to try.

Guide was able to plan the itinerary well to avoid the crowd. Helpful in taking photos and friendly + patient to explain the sites. Recommended local cuisine and also because we are eating vegetarian, he even drop us off at a vegetarian stall near our hotel.

The tour at the fruit farm is interesting and informative. A pick up truck will take vistors to the farm. We get to sample the fruit enzymes, honey, fruit juice and a small tupperware filled with fruits at the end of the tour.

I’ve joined this activity and it’s really worth it. the guider explains everything very well and takes care of the bicycle and if we need also any other help, his very helpful. we have visited few places and it was really beautiful experience. highly recommended.

Mr Eng was a great guide and gave detailed explanations. The itinerary was well planned as we arrived at the Pinang Peranakan Museum before the hordes of tourists. Mr Eng also gave us enough time to take pictures at each site. This is a great tour if you want to see the must-visit sites in half a day. Will recommend.

Enjoyable day trip to Balik Pulau with amiable and chatty guide, Jenny, who fetched us directly from our AirBnB at 9am as my husband and I were the only two guests on the day of our outing. The breakfast, Penang prawn noodles at a roadside stall was delicious and we felt that the itinerary was planned pretty well. Eventhough the journey to and fro Balik Pulau took 40mins each way, it didn’t feel very long. However, it would be great if the day trip was more than 4 hours in total considering the relatively long travelling time. Overall, would definitely recommend, and we hope to go again … for the evening trip the next time and during the durian season! : )
