Pooi Ling - Tour Guide in George Town

I am a late bloomer in the tourism industry. When I travel, I hope to meet friendly locals who willingly share their heritage, culture, and places of interest, allowing me to enjoy my visit to the fullest. With this same sentiment, I want to welcome you to Penang by sharing this walk with you, making your visit to Malaysia more interesting and unforgettable. Most importantly, you will gain a deeper understanding of the multicultural harmony that exists in this country.

If you want to experience the true soul of Penang, book your unforgettable walking tour with me today!

Overall a really good walking tour. Similar to what I was expecting but was looking for more varieties of food rather than the history of it all

1. Started on time and ended about 3.5 hours later (although advertised as 2.5-hour tour) 2. Very detailed information on historical/heritage buildings probably best appreciated by history buffs or those with a cultural background of Southeast Asia or Malaysia more generally, and the Straits Settlements more specifically 3. Very approachable, knowledgeable and eager to please, exactly the kind of host you'd expect and wish for especially when traveling solo in an unfamiliar place; feel very well taken care of 4. Great food choices, and very reasonable costs (RM20 per person in a group of 5) The tour is focused on Indian spices and food in Penang/Malaysia, and may be a lil too much if you aren't as interested or invested in the same or prefer a more compact tour in half the time. For me it was leisurely and thoroughly enjoyable and I'd do it again with a partner to partake in the fun. Entertainment value can be enhanced with pop quizzes & small prizes relevant to the tour rather than one-sided info sharing that can be rather overwhelming at times. Still your tour companions matter, and I've had much luck with mine.
