"Joo Bee is so warmhearted and energetic! First of all, when we met she already knew the name of every person on our group, just wow! Joo Bee knew a lot of history and told us interesting stories. That is so great about going on a tour with a local ❤️. She was very patient with us (child with some heat coping issues on a hot summer day) and showed us around town to places we would have never been without her. Thank you for the lovely tour dear Joo Bee!"

"Moyd told us a lot about the history of Penang and the different cultures. He shared fun anecdotes at many places. And the stories about the street art were interesting and resulted in some great photos."

"Jo bee is a passionate, knowledgeable and professional guide to show you this amazing place. She got in touch just after booking and sent photos promptly afterwards. We would highly recommend her. She combines facts with personal anecdotes and communicates well. "

"Joo Bee was a perfect guide on this tour. She frequently checked in for my preferences of what to prioritize and her deep connection and personal stories to the area made it a truly special tour. I can’t recommend a tour with her more! Georgetown is such fascinating city and I’m glad I got to know it better thanks to Joo Bee. "

"Remy is a passionate story teller which gave us great insight into the art, food and culture of george town! He was so much fun to hang out with and so flexible with all of our varied interests. Would definitely recommend both the art and food tours with him."

"My wife and I did a street walk experience and it was so interesting and enjoyable"

"We had a great and enlightening experience with Joo Bee and can’t recommend her highly enough. She adapted the tour to our likes, was constantly entertaining and of course shared things only a local would know - if we had been staying we would have been able to make better use of all her tips and advice- thanks for a great morning Joo Bee"

"Had a great tour. He met us at the hotel and walked into the area to see the sites. Yasin had a lot of knowledge and very friendly. Would recommend to have a tour with him anytime. "

"We had a fantastic few hours with Joo. Her knowledge and humour were a delight and should we ever come to Penang again, we would love to catch up with her on another tour. Joo knows how to avoid the crowds and see the sites at your pace. I was disappointed we didn't have enough time to go back to the eateries she recommended. Next time! Thank you Joo. Linda & Geoff"

"We chose the street art tour with Remy. Besides a super passionate tour about (street) art, he also provided us with interesting random facts and the history of the city. We really enjoyed the tour. After the tour, he also took us to go taste Chinese street food, even though it was originally not included in the tour. He really took his time to make sure we had a safe and great experience. We would 100% recommend Remy as a guide. His passion for art, food and the city in general is really contagious! "
