Nice day - We booked a 6hr excursion; were told by the driver who barely spoke english that it was only 5 hours. It was resolved after calling the office and talking to the person in charge. We waited 30 min for the driver to pick us up from Penang Hill which was irritating. Our driver was very nice but hard to understand; he even let us borrow local currency in lieu of dollars we thought that was nice.

Penang hill on your own - We got met by a woman (no idea of her name and she kept ringing on the phone for the driver, finally she got in touch and we then had to walk about 15 minutes to the van where she disappeared and he took over. He said “where do you want to go” and I said I thought you knew, anyway we had tickets for Penang hill fast track so I said to go there where he dropped us off and said ring him when we were done and that was it we were then left on our own and there were people everywhere. We finally found where to go and we went up the funicular and it was great but I was disappointed as had booked 2 other tours with Viator and they were wonderful
