Experience Off the Beaten Track in Penang with Withlocals

"Joo is very knowledgeable, friendly, fun and easy to understand. She suggested fun poses to make with the art. She recommended other things i might want to do. A true gem!!"

"I bought a family tour around Georgetown with Joo Bee for my husbands birthday. We both loved the information about the different sights in Georgetown including the street art, and Joo Bee was very knowledgeable. She made allowances for our children when they were in need of a cafe break! She clearly loves Penang and that enthusiasm made the tour extra special. "

" Joo Bee was superb as a guide and even better as an all round great person. I wasn't feeling very well on the day of my tour but she was kind and patient with me. We still got to see most things and she explained everything . No question seemed too silly for her to answer . I would recommend Joo 100% as she has the history of Penang and Malaysia in general steeped in her very being. She shares her knowledge with ease and grace. I truly recommend you go with Joo as she will show you the hidden gems that we as tourists would find hard to locate even using maps. I even tried durian for the first time in an ice cream form on our walk - not for me I'm afraid ! We had fun and laughs along the way as well has being given the history of Georgetown - It takes great skill to be as good a guide as JooBee👍🫰💕 Thanks a million and who knows maybe our paths will cross again .

"Joo Bee showed us a wonderful time touring Penang. We booked the tour for our first day to see the city and get recommendations for our weekend and Joo Bee did not disappoint. We took in the street art while marking down restaurants and shops that she recommended we visit later. Great way to start our weekend. Highly recommend. "

"We had a wonderful time with Joo Bee. She is very knowledgeable and was able to provide deep historical context for all the wonderful sites we visited."

"Very enjoyable tours with Joo Bee. Her local knowledge of places - background, history, customs, etc added so much depth to the tours. Two days of casual walking seeing talking, just like old friends! "

"Our guide Remy was amazing. He was passionate about Penang and street art. We saw many parts of Georgetown we would not have seen otherwise. He had great recommendations for the remainder of our trip. I wish we had time to take his food tour. "

"We had a great time on the Penang art tour with Remy. He was incredibly passionate about the art and gave us a good understanding of all the murals. Would definitely recommend! "

"Sometimes you do a Withlocals tour with a guide who you know, you’ll always remember. That guide becomes one of the best parts of your trip! Remy was this person and more! I adore seeing Street Art around the world and always hope a tour will give me some very unique insights into the pieces, place, artists, their beliefs. This tour did not disappoint! Remy is a very gifted man, artistic, passionate & patient. He took care to explain everything to us- he never rushed and actually went over time, making sure we understood everything we needed to. He is Penang, born and bred. He knows and he cares. We loved our day so much we ate dinner that night at his restaurant @ De- Brick in Georgetown. Lucky enough to meet his lovely wife - such a great team. Definitely a must to finish your perfect Penang Day!! Thank you both for everything- we’ll be back! "

"We did the Street Art tour with Remy. He was able to accommodate a larger group of 14 which included 10 teenagers. Remy was extremely knowledgeable,he was able to take us to both the famous, well known art, but also to places off the beaten track which was amazing. He was happy to move at our pace, making regular stops for rest and refreshments when we needed them. He kept our teenagers interested throughout the tour (a major accomplishment!). He really took the time and went out of his way to ensure we had a fantastic experience. There is no other tour guide we would now rather use. And due to his local knowledge, he was able to advise us of places to go, things to see and things to do during our stay in penang. "
