Penang Hill Funicular Railway Tours and Tickets
A colonial-era hill station, Penang Hill sits behind George Town, about 2,733 feet (833 meters) above sea level. Visit in style on the Penang Hill Funicular Railway, a cliff-side railway dating back to 1924. The trains and tracks are modern, and the sheer ascents through the jungle and over bridges make for a spectacular journey.

Wonderful tour of Penang
I had a great time with Ronnie. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Penang and engaging through the entire trip. We even squeezed in an extra tour when the views from Penang Hill weren't that great. Would 100% recommend this tour with Ronnie.

Amazing penang
A lot of walking, but our driver was excellent!
He gave a lot of local information, pointed out places of interest & was extremely helpful.
The rain wasn’t great, and did put a dampener on things, but overall great experience not to be missed.

Informative tour for first visit
Guide was on time and contacted me/ reconfirmed everything a few days before the tour.
Guide was knowledgeable - I learnt a few things from him.

Amazing tour with an amazing guide
We loved every moment of this tour! Aldrin was a wonderful guide who deserves 10 stars. He made sure we saw the sights specific to the tour, plus others of interest that we never would have known about or had time to see. He was knowledgeable, kind, well-prepared and considerate of my husband and me. Penang is a wonderful place with so many beautiful sites. We loved the various temples, Kek Lok Si, the funicular, the old town and murals...I could go on and on. Aldrin went above and beyond for us, and assured we had a great visit to Penang. Thank you, Aldrin! Don't hesitate to book this tour. We had an excellent experience.
