Mary Ann Degullacion

Guide profile:

I have been a tour guide since 1987 (was licensed since 1991). My passion in meeting people of all walks of life and exchanging cultures and customs with people everywhere has keep me in this career for so long. The development of tourism in Sabah and the impact also has lead me to practice 'Reponsible-Tourism". I do love to share all there is to know about Sabah from discovering the many cultural heritage we have, to the uniqueness of our Tropical Rainforest flora and fauna or to share the struggle of our forefathers during WWII.

I have been instrumental in helping communities in the awareness of Tourism and creating tourism packages that encourages protecting nature and conserving culture to benefit in eco-tourism markets.

Mary Ann is an excellent guide. She has a vast knowledge of the culture and wild-life of Sabah.

She planned an informative tour for us based around our interests at a very reasonable cost. Mary Ann also gave us advice on finding our way around Sabah once we had finished the tour with her. Hiring a personal guide added greatly to the knowledge we gained of the area around Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan.
