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).

Overview of your Penang tour

This is one of my most sought after tour for tourists who just landed in Penang or those only have a very short time window for tour. I created this tour based on customer's requirement in mind and we are flexible. You see, in Penang, we got everything - the sun, sea, hills, multi ethnic foods, jungles, parks, beaches, shops and many multi racial people living together that create vibrant Penang. Enjoy a visit to a chaotic local wet market to see how the locals go about their early morning marketing, haggling over the price for a bargain. Scoot over to snake temple to see live pit viper up close and personal, then over to clan jetty to see houses on stilts for a nice picture opportunity. Street art murals hunting for masterpiece by the world famous artist, Ernest Zacharevich from Lithuania is fun. From this tour you will oriented your bearing in Penang, leaving you time to explore other attractions on your own, or even go back to the visited attractions for more quality time.

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 have ever had. His knowledge of Penang is unbelievable. He is a very knowledge fellow. You will enjoy every moment of your visit. Just tell him your interests and sit back and enjoy. I promise you will not be disappointed.

King is knowledgeable in plants and experienced in food tour. We learned plants and flowers in the trip and we enjoy all the good local food. We move hawker stall to another hawker stall. He drives well after I rented the car. He speaks good English and Chinese. I highly recommend him for Penang tour.

If you need a free and easy, knowledgable, caring and fabulous local tour guide, grab Max quickly. I am very impressed with his service, and his willingness to share with us about so many things regarding Penang. He is also very flexible to timing and changes in plans. He speaks excellent English too. His knowledge about the history of Penang is fantastic and it felt like I was having a walking history book with me throughout my tour with him. 100% worth getting him as your companion to tour Penang!

Had a great time with King B ( his real name). As a lifelong Penang resident he knows the hidden gems and great sites for a quick 4 hour tour. The wet market was fascinating AND we got to eat fruit we've never seen before. Actually, we had several first, like holding a viper! Maybe not a very smart first on my part.... Great day! Extremely knowledgeable! Only problem, still didn't find a purse! Maybe next time. Would definitely choose King B again.

Absolutely loved the 2 half days in Penang. Max was brilliant - he gave us a flavor of the City while taking into cognizance the composition of the group. He is extremely knowledgeable and knows how to engage the group. He customized our tours well . It was an absolute pleasure meeting Max. Would recommend him to any group wanting to get the flavor of Penang/ Georgetown
