RATING ★★★★★
TOUR: #292962, Penang Culture & Nature Tour, Half-Day by Car, George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia
Lawrence provided an excellent tour of Penang, provided interesting commentary on culture and history, and was flexible to drive us to 2 temples we wanted to visit. At Kek Lok Si temple, he added fascinating explanations about Buddhism, feeding the tortoises, and making our wishes on ribbons to hang. The trishaw ride through Georgetown was fun, and he gave insightful explanations as he guided us through the Khoo Kongsi clan house. The Penang Hill funicular and buggy ride were enjoyable. Highly recommend!
P/S: Lawrence Lam was a superb 5-star guide. The 510 character max on public comments did not allow more details. We really enjoyed his fascinating commentary and learned so much about Penang history, geography, culture, foods, and saw the major highlights in our short 1-day visit. His humor and enthusiasm throughout our day made our tour memorable, and I highly recommend him! We got to see and learn so much more than on a large bus tour. Thank you so much, and we hope our wishes made at Kek Lok Si will be granted by the Goddess of Mercy. Kung Hei Fat Choy!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks for the glowing review - You have proven to the Goddess of Mercy that you are incredibly kind-hearted. Your wishes will be granted at lightning speed, sealed by the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia. Happy Chinese New Year 2024, Jennifer.
