On our todays stop by cruiseship in Georgetown, Penang we had an excellent tour with Joo Bee. She showed us all the Street Art in the City and many more highlights including temples and mosques. She knows everything about the history of Penang and the art and artist and could answer every question we had. I addition she gave us lots of opportunities for what to do and were to eat after the tour and adjusted the tour to our wishes. We had a great time and highly recommend her. We will see us again next time!Great Street Art Tour with Joo Bee

Joo Bee was a great tour guide. She was understanding and flexible with our group’s needs, and adapted to our detours along the way. She had great hidden photo spots and food recommendations which our group loved! Would not have know about these places without her. Thanks Joo Bee, for being our tour guide :) Great tour guide

Very enjoyable tours with Joo Bee. Her local knowledge of places - background, history, customs, etc added so much depth to the tours. Two days of casual walking seeing talking, just like old friends! Like old friends

Joo Bee was able to tailor the tour to take account of our interests. A lot of the route and stops were to places that we wouldn’t have found by ourselves. The snack / lunch venue was particularly memorable. Overall we had a great time 😊Great introduction to historic Georgetown

Having Joo Bee guide us around George Town has been pure Joy! We learnt so much and enjoyed the bite size pieces of information about the rich cultures and history that makes this UNESCO heritage site very special. Joo Bee treated us to some delicious food and made us feel like we had spent our days living in this incredible and unique place for which we are very privileged. Thank you so very much Joo Bee, for looking after Randhula, Arj and myself so well. You have certainly inspired us to return! Warm wishes GraemePure Joy

We hadden een leuke middag met Joo. We hebben veel gezien en genoten van de uitleg van de street art. Ze is flexibel en gaf ons tips waar we later in de avond of de volgende dag naar toe konden gaan. We hebben heerlijk gegeten in het Nonya restaurant waar ze op ons verzoek ons naar toe heeft gebracht. Aanrader!Go with the flow with Joo!!

I was truly captivated by Joo Bee’s enthusiasm for Penang, it made the whole experience even more special. Her deep knowledge of the area’s history and her detailed insights into the street art were remarkable. Joo Bee went above and beyond to ensure every moment was enjoyable and interesting. I would love to stroll around other part of Penang with her during my next visit.Awesome experience with Joo Bee !

Joo Bee was great. Friendly, knowledgeable, flexible. We saw the street art, learnt loads about the history and culture, had tips on food, and what else to do during our stay. We saw places we would never have found, and had a cooling drink along the way. Excellent- highly recommended. Many thanks, Joo Bee!Wonderful tour

Great tour with Joo Bee. Met on time. Explained the tour. Was flexible when she understood we weren't just interested in temples. Saw some great street art and some interesting places. Also had excellent snack/lunch at local restaurant (I went back the next day!). Thank you Joo Bee.Very enjoyable walking tour
