Excellent Tour of Many Temples
Matthew was our guide and we did some modifications to the base tour. There was construction at the gardens so we skipped that which was perfectly acceptable. We did get the fast pass option (must get), for penang hill as it saves significantly time. Great views at the top and some small temples. After that we started the main temples. Saw lots of Buddha and walked up the 6 levels of the pagoda. Well worth it but tiring. We also went to 2 more temples which are included. Amazing views. We then asked to goto a coffee store to get coffee beans. Matthew took us to this amazing store that sold coffee chocolate teas and cocas. After that in lieu of the last museum we got a fantastic drive around Georgetown including Little India. Overall fantastic tour. Highly recommended..
