Overview

See Penang from two very different perspectives on a private half-day tour that combines hilltop scenery with the cultural heritage of George Town. Begin with a ride on the Penang Hill funicular, rising above the city for sweeping views across George Town and the coastline before exploring Kek Lok Si Temple, one of Southeast Asia’s largest Buddhist temples.

Back in George Town, discover the multicultural character that gives the UNESCO-listed historic city its distinctive identity. Explore the heritage streets around Armenian Street, experience the colours and energy of Little India, and visit the Clan Jetties, living waterfront communities where homes stand on stilts above the sea.

With approximately 4 hours of sightseeing, private transportation from the George Town area and your return Penang Hill funicular ticket arranged, the tour offers an easy introduction to Penang for adults and families who want to experience the island’s scenery, temples and heritage without committing to a full-day excursion.
