I am a Blue Badge Guide and has been guiding for 21 years. My passion for travelling and sharing with others about Sabah's wonderful and beautiful eco-nature mountains and beaches as well as its colorful and diverse 32 over ethnic groups landed me in becoming a tourist guide since 1989 (there were only less than 80 guides then) and has never look back. My guests who include normal tourists to very high profile personnel VVIPS such as Ministers, Filming Crews, CEOS have always commented that I have the gift of making stories of people, places and even animals come alive and could make a boring place become interesting which is not surprising as tour guiding apart from being my beloved profession, is also my hobby! With my years of experience in guiding and in management, I am also now a Trainer with Tourism Malaysia for their Mesra Malaysia and Eco Host programs, training tourist guides and frontliners in the tourism industry. I am also the founder of the KK Heritage Walk.
My motto in striving for excellence service is:
Do To Others What You Want Others To Do To You !
Thus, presenting surprising souvenir to my guests is just part of my service.

  Ed Gonzalez (05 Jul 2010)	Rating: 5/5	The trip to the rainforests of Mt Kinabalu was very rewarding for us. Grace is an A1 tour guide. She is an excellent history teller (she could recite the history of the island, its geography, its people, and system of governance with lightning speed). Her familiarity with flora and fauna is amazing. Her passion for environmental preservation is genuine. Her friendly demeanor, combined with our luck to see what were rare sights in the area---a rafflesia in full bloom, a long-tailed squirrel,
  Marilyn Harvey (28 Jun 2010)	Rating: 5/5	We certainly enjoyed our adventures in Kota Kinablu. Grace was a most gracous guide and we thoroughly enjoyed all the sightseeing that we did with her. She went out of her way to give us the information that she was very knowledgeable and passionate about. She also went out of her way to do the little things that count when you are a foreigner in another country. On a rating basis we have no hesitation in rating Grace 6 out of 5. Thanks again, Marilyn, Trish, Jayne, Diane, Donna & Leslie
  Sabrina Ong (02 Apr 2010)	Rating: 5/5	A very friendly and knowledgeable guide who tries her best to fulfill our requests and arrange our trip very smoothly for us! Thank you!
  Johanna Törnquist (31 Mar 2010)	Rating: 5/5	Grace is a wonderful person with a passion and interest in everything about nature, people, history and politics. She knows how to organize and does her best in every kind of situation. She listen to her costumers requests and make the tour that suits everyone even tours (like mine) that were outside the "normal." She took me too places she hasn;t been before and had such a patient everytime I took up my camera and took pictures of the children in the slum areas. THANK YOU! /Johanna
  Xiao Meiyan (12 Mar 2010)	Rating: 5/5	Very knowledgeable in all aspects even my hubby was so impressed and keep singing her praises when we are back home, very unlike him to do so coz he read too much. Grace is very friendly and find myself learning alot, it's like taking a science class where i learned all the different plants n flowers and their uses but all within few hours span. Shall look forward to KK trip again and meeting u once again Grace! Cheers! Mei & family Singapore
  Kim Teh (27 Feb 2010)	Rating: 5/5	Grace is a truly professional tour guide. She made our trip to Klias Peninsula highly informative and we benefited from her knowledge of Sabah’s culture and heritage. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who wishes to explore Kota Kinabalu as well as learn more about its unique history.
  Scott Tease (29 Jan 2010)	Rating: 5/5	We had a wonderful time with Grace. She is knowledgeable, extremely well organized, fun, and her pride in showing off the beauty of Malysian Borneo comes through so much. She tailored the agenda perfectly for what what we were looking for in a vacation. We would recommend Grace without hesitation to anyone planning a trip to see Kota Kinabalu and the surrounding area. If there was a score higher than 5 stars we would have given it to her. We travel all over the word - Grace is a stand out!	Wow, what a nice compliment fro this nice American couple who were themselves very friendly and amusing too which definitely helps a lot in my guiding..... Thanks Scott/Kim
  Chew Soon Ann (20 Jan 2010)	Rating: 5/5	Grace is very knowledgeable and familiar with the locations we went to. The people wherever we went know her and are always very helpful to us. She is also a very good and safe driver, cool and patient. I have learnt lots more about Sabah in the brief period I have enjoyed with her. Thanks to you, Grace. I will definitely recommend her to my friends.	It was really a good experience for me too to have you, Chew, as my guest and I learnt more about Singapore than I have ever before too !
  CArole Lim (27 Nov 2009)	Rating: 5/5	Our first trip to KK was a memorable one. Grace's humuor & casualness put everyone especially the children at ease, though they were very shy at first. Enjoyed also the interesting 'education' on Eco tourism. Gave us something to think about. On the whole i would say 5 out of 5. Enjoyed every minute of it, the food ( Aiyo.. the Roti sayur... delicious), the island trip... Thanks again, Grace.. Merry X'mas....Happy Holidays	Carole, it has been a pleasure to be your guide and to introduce you the local food too......come back for more of Sabah and its roti sayur!
  Agnes Lim (27 Oct 2009)	Rating: 5/5	The children simply love her. She is very knowledgable about the flora and fauna of the KK heritage park and rainforest. Very enjoyable trip. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.	Will not forget your family of 5, Andrew, Anisa, Amanda, Andreas and of course you Agnes. Merry Christmas ans Happy New Year to You all too!
  Angelyn Chang (29 Aug 2009)	Rating: 5/5	Highly recommended! We enjoyed the tour and Grace's company very much. We were like old friends. Thanks alot Grace!
  Paul Richmond (22 Aug 2009)	Rating: 5/5	Grace is full of enthusiasm and knowledge about the wildlife and cultural makeup of Borneo and she really brought our trip to life. She was very entertaining during the car journeys with plenty of stories and anecdotes about the region! In terms of cost, we felt it was good value for money compared to the organized tours. Plus, she contacted us at our hotel prior to the trip to confirm details, which was helpful. Thank you Grace for a fantastic day! Paul + Michelle, London
  Ken Hartlage (18 Aug 2009)	Rating: 5/5	Grace created a custom itinerary tailored to our interests; handled all the details of transport, lodging and meals; and revealed KK's wonderful natural history and cultural heritage with great passion. We saw and learned more with Grace than we could ever have on our own. We enthusiastically recommend Grace!
  Jenny Ho (08 Aug 2009)	Rating: 5/5	Grace is an enthusiastic and friendly guide. She is also attentive and takes care of the finer details on our 2-full day tour. She is knowledgeable and sets a good example when it comes to taking care of the environment. I also observed she has good relationships with the vendors whom we met along the tour. This speaks volume of her “continuity” in the business. She makes traveling fun and easy and I feel like I am traveling with a friend! Thanks Grace! Hope to see you again!
  Michael Browning (28 Jul 2009)	Rating: 5/5	Grace admits she talks a lot and she is really in the right profession. She talks almost non stop about everything and her love of her country shines through all the way. She sorted out a mix up about dates and times efficiently and we had a great time. I would recommend Grace to anybody.
  Chelynn Lim (03 Jul 2009)	Rating: 5/5	I am glad to have hired her as the guide for my One day trip to Mount KK. Throughout the trip, we have learnt a lot about the Eco system and also on the usage of certain flora. She is also fun loving in which she showered us with jokes throughout the trip. Thanks ...... a lot....
  Suyi Lam (02 Jul 2009)	Rating: 5/5	I would have given a 10 star if I could! We totally enjoyed our trip so much! Although it rained on our first night there and also when we were in Kundasang but Grace always do her best to make us enjoy our trip as much as possible and she succeeded! She was very patient with us when we took so much time taking pictures, very accomodating and taught us alot about Sabah. Extremely informative and resourceful!
  diana klotzsch (16 Jun 2009)	Rating: 5/5	We had a great time with Grace!

Grace has a very friendly and open personality!

  Anuj Jain (08 May 2009)	Rating: 5/5	Grace is really friendly and easy to hang out with. She has an amazing ethic and passion towards saving the environment and heritage of Kota Kinabalu and Sabah. Recommend it strongly! Would be even better if she carries a map and an iterinary of the tour so visitors know in advance what to expect!	Gosh, the Itinerary! Normally, would have emailed the guest earlier but this was the 1st first time that I really have forgotten about it. Good reminder though. Would ensure I have a map ready next time too.
  Neil Dibb (20 Mar 2009)	Rating: 5/5	A boy scout group with leaders from Sinagore. We give Grace a 5 out 5 -she was fantastic - highly recommended! Warm regards, Neil.
