I'm King Bee C., your private tour guide in Penang
Guide #16764
My friends called me King Bee, or simply King or Max. I am a LICENSED city tour guide by Ministry of Tourism & Culture, Malaysia. I have been calling George Town, Penang - UNESCO World Heritage Site, my home for more than 30 years now. I provide TOUR GUIDING SERVICE + TRANSPORTATION for tours, focusing mainly on Penang island. With transportation, it is definitely more convenient and enjoyable to experience what Penang has to offer within the shortest time. While one may travels George Town heritage enclave by foot, there are many places of interest located outside George Town such as Penang Hill, Kek Lok Si Temple, Tropical Spice Garden, Tropical Fruit Farm and Entopia Butterfly Farm. Customers can choose either to do half-day, full-day or multiple-days tour of Penang island, depending on how many hours or days they have in Penang. For example: 1) Half-day 4 hours tour *INCLUDING* transport + driver + tour guide. 2) 6 hours tour *INCLUDING* transport +driver + tour guide. 3) Full-day 8 hours tour *INCLUDING* transport +driver + tour guide. 4) MULTIPLE full-day tour (quoted as per day rate of 4, 6 or 8 hours tour). All my tours are private and can be customized and no two tours are alike. Come explore Penang, the Pearl of the Orient indeed! ~ Licensed tourist guide under Ministry of Tourism and Culture (MoTAC), Malaysia. ~ A member of Penang Tourist Guides Association, PTGA. ~ Possession Of Driving Licence for Car & for commercial vehicle (Passenger Service Vehicle) Education Background: ~ Bachelor of Economics from University Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. ~ MBA from University of South Alabama, Mobile, Alabama, United States of America. I am a licensed Malaysian CITY tour guide (blue badge). I DO NOT conduct nature/jungle tours (which require a green badge).

This was one of the highlights of our month long trip in Asia. King really knows all of the different street vendors and has a relationship with them, so he easily was able to navigate and get us the best food. He recognized what we liked and ask all our food preferences and adapted our tour based on that. In between we had a great walking tour of the area and he gave...

Thank you, Jessica! We’re thrilled the tour was a highlight of your Asia trip. It was a pleasure tailoring the food stops and walk to your tastes, sharing local history, and exploring the temple traditions together. Your recommendation truly means a lot—hope to welcome you back again someday very soon for Anne's Char Koay Teow.

I had a great time with King Bee (real name) on my tour. Saw a lot, learned a lot, and left wanting to experience more. I highly recommend King and would book with him for future tours.

I travel a great deal. It was my first visit to Penang so I really wanted a tour that gave me a ton of facts about Penang. I messaged King and he wrote me back several times. I had one in my party that had mobility problems. He assured me that a he would take that into his choosing of paces to go. I probably do 25 tours a year. Without a DOUBT. King is the BEST GUIDE I...

Thank you, Diana, for your kind words. It was my pleasure in meeting all of you. In this vast planet, you all chosen Penang for your tour and I had the privilege to be your tour guide in my hometown. I was glad that you enjoyed your tour and was looking to meet you guys second time around, but God had other plans. I hope our path will cross again one day in the future....
