“After spending a lifetime as a school teacher and 7 years now as a tour guide, Cheam was so informed about Penang’s past and current trends it was like having an interactive Penang for Google. My parents and I asked a flurry of questions about the Malay, Chinese, Baba-Nonya, Peranakan, and Indian communities, she not only answered them intuitively, but with compassion for all sides and with a touch of humour. We spent more than the allotted time and she even took us to her favourite Laksa place, which we later found out was awarded a Michelin bib for two years running. Without a doubt one of the best tour…”

Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
