Review of a private five-hour Penang tour covering George Town, two temples, Kek Lok Si, street art, and White Coffee sampling.
“Abbiamo avuto modo di visitare solo il tempio di Kek Lok Si per il tempo limitato di visita ma ne è valsa davvero la pena per il suo fascino e suggestione. Purtroppo la guida non ci ha dato quasi nessuna spiegazione e ci ha lasciato visitare liberamente gli spazi. Più un’autista che una vera guida. Anche il suo inglese non perfetto e pienamente comprensibile.”
