Great day at Georgetown Penang! - A lovely experience which turned out to be a 5 hour private tour. Carol Lee from OTN Experiences was waiting for us at the pier, and drove us around beautiful Penang, showing all the major attractions and at the same time letting us choose how to spend the time we had on each one. We totaly recomend this nice very well english speaking tour guide. Thank you Carol for this lovely time!

Abandoned - Our guide had no itinerary & asked us what we wanted to do??? We settled on going to Penang Hill using the funicular railway, amazing views!!! We then went to Kek Lok Si Temple & were dropped at the top of the temple which had 2 other levels! Unfortunately we thought our guide would be at the main exit at the bottom level & waited over an hour for him, our husbands also went back to middle level but still didn’t find our guide, so it was a taxi back to centre of Penang & then back to ship. Our guide did send us a message saying he waited for us on the middle level so what happened we do not know!! Disappointing!
