A propos de cette activités
Après le transfert depuis votre hôtel, vous voyagerez en véhicule climatisé avec un guide qui fera des commentaires instructifs sur Penang.
Rendez-vous à la gare de Georgetown, où vous embarquerez dans le funiculaire de la colline de Penang pour 20 minutes d'ascension sur la plus ancienne station de montagne de Malaisie. Pendant le trajet, observez les singes et les autres créatures qui vivent dans la forêt luxuriante. Au sommet, situé à 821 mètres (2 695 pieds) au-dessus de Georgetown, profitez de l'air frais et des vues panoramiques sur les montagnes verdoyantes et la ville en contrebas.
Puis remontez dans votre véhicule pour visiter le temple de Kek Lok Si. Connu sous le nom de la pagode aux dix mille bouddhas, il est considéré comme l'un des plus grands et des plus beaux temples bouddhistes d'Asie du Sud-Est. Construit en 1890 par un immigrant bouddhiste chinois, le temple Kek Lok Si reste un symbole important de la communauté malaise chinoise. Sculpté dans la pente d'Air Itam, à proximité de la colline de Penang, le temple présente une pagode de sept niveaux avec une combinaison d'artisanat et d'architecture chinois, thaïlandais et birmans.
Votre guide vous fera découvrir le vaste complexe du temple, en vous montrant les éléments majeurs, dont une statue en bronze de Guanyin, la déesse de la Miséricorde, qui s'élève à 30 mètres (99 pieds) de haut. Arrêtez-vous à l'étang de la longévité, où des centaines de tortues vivent après avoir été libérées par les dévots ; votre guide vous expliquera pourquoi les tortues représentent la longévité, l'endurance et la force dans la culture chinoise.
À la fin de votre excursion de 4 heures, votre guide vous ramènera à votre hôtel.

It would be impossible to do this tour without a car and i suspect a local guide. I had a very informative and friendly guide and this was enjoyable tour. I learned a lot more about the history of Penang too.

Traveled with my cousin who was visiting from Melbourne. It was her first trip to Penang (Hill). Although having myself been to Penang Hill before, this trip was was made interesting by our guide. The information provided gave me a new perspective about the place. The visit to Kek Lok Si temple was simple magnificent. We both found it extremely beautiful, not just from the architecture of the temple but from the stories and information provided by our guide. He was very knowledgeble about the places he took us to and also most of the sites we passed on the way to Penang Hill and the temple. He even suggested a place to eat which was simply good. Overall, it was a very informative and interesting trip. We both loved it. The views were just amazing!

Guide was excellent. Schedule worked well. The sites on this trip were extraordinary. On the hill, I even had some extra time to take tea and scones at the restaurant built into a beautiful British colonial building.

Excellent tour, just my husband and I, was picked up by our lovely guide from our cruise terminal and had a one to one tour of the city and the temple.On the penang hill railway he even made sure we had the best view as we traveled up the hill, would highly recommend afternoon tea in the gardens of the old colonial tea rooms.

This presentation was only slightly better than a high school play. Whatever the ad says about this do not expect food nor pickup from hotel.

I was the only person on this tour not a bit deal, I've done many other tours that I have also been the only person, but generally that has enhanced the tour. The bus was not air-conditioned and Malaysia was experiencing an extreme heatwave and my driver/guide, although very nice was not really informative or knowledgeable about the history or any other aspect. It was kind of like having asked a taxi drive to take me around, where he just pointed at things and would indicate if it was a temple etc, they type of things I generally could figure out myself. He stayed downstairs and had a snooze on the plastic chair while I climbed the Kek Lok Si temple to be fair it WAS very hot and chatted to his friend on the cable car. The best part of the tour to be honest, was when the driver talked to me about his life and family on the way home, at which time I think we were both feeling considerable relief that is was nearly over. I chose this tour because it got such rave reviews and I suspect that perhaps the regular tour driver/guide was ill and I got a fill in, because there is simply no way this tour matches up with what I'd read online. It's the only explanation really. My guide though nice was clearly bored and desperate for it to be over and couldn't be described as informative by even the most generous person.
