Hello and welcome! My friends called me Peng. I am a proud, lifelong Kuala Lumpur "country girl" with over twenty years of experience sharing my vibrant country with visitors. As a fully licensed guide with Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, you can be assured of a trusted and knowlegeable experience. My passion is to go beyond the usual tourist trails and give you a genuine insider's look at Malaysia. Of course, I can show you the major icons like the Petronas Towers and Batu Caves, but I truly love to take my guests to the hidden gems I've known all my life. I want to hear about what excites you- is it deep-diving into our complex multicultural history, exploring bustling local street markets, finding the absolute best 'Mamak' (local eatery) that's never in the guidebooks, or escaping to the scenic countryside just outside KL? We will start with my suggestions, and together we'll tailor a perfect, unhurried itinerary entirely focused on your interests and pace. My priority is ensuring you make the absolute best use of your time here, filled with authentic, personal moments you will never forget. I offer both guiding services and private, comforatble transportation in my car, giving us complete flexibility and privacy throughout our day. I believe in warm hospitality and the true sharing of culture. I am incredibly patient, easygoing, and eager to show you the side of Malaysia I know and love. Let's create an unforgetbble experience together. Welcome to Malaysia! Selamat Datang ke Malaysia!
