Looking for a passionate, enthusiastic and fun loving guide to the Heritage city of Georgetown Penang? Welcome to my world then. . . . I am passionate about meeting peoples from all over the world, sharing with them my passions in food, my cultures, traveling, exploring something new, adventurous and yet different. My motto in life: carpe diem ( seize the day) and Hakuna Matata ( in Swahili it meant - no worries, be happy ). For I believe that life is meant to be lived to its fullest potential as we are passing by this life only once. I have an easy going personality, people says. Prior to making guiding as a full-time vocation, my life was dedicated to the MNC ( multinational company ) environment for 29 years. And the time is ripe for the major change to what I really love doing. . . I have been guiding for the last 10 years but only making it full time in the last 2 years. Am a licensed guide in Malaysia ( Tour guide license 14410 ) accredited by Ministry of Tourism, Arts & Culture, Msia.

- Alicia C.June 2026
We really enjoyed the tour! We learned so much and got to see a new side of Penang that we rarely will know when walking the streets of Georgetown. Poh, our guide, was super excellent!! Friendly, so accommodating and a real expert in what she does. We will definitely get Poh again for any future tours in Penang! Looking forward to meeting her again.

We had a very specific request that took us outside of Penang. Poh did research and additional legwork to fulfill our request. She's knowledgeable, personable and gave us an authentic experience that we will never forget.
