The Penang Island Morning Tour was terrific. We'd never been to Penang before and the tour was an excellent introduction. The bas was clean and comfortable and well driven. Our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and gave us great insight into Penang and Malay history, culture and landmarks, flora and fauna. I would highly recommend this tour for those arriving in Penang wanting to know more about this beautiful island.

We booked this tour on a weekend day thinking we could visit the Butterfly Farm instead of the jewelry factory as per tour description on the web page. Were a bit disappointed when informed that the tour no longer visits the Butterfly Farm even on weekends.Apart from that, very pleasant tour overall : pick up on time, very friendly and knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide and driver, comfortable bus, great group etc... The tour tends to be on the "commercial" side though.

This tour gave us an amazing feel for the entire island of Penang. The drive was beautiful and we enjoyed experiencing the various aspects of the island. All of the stops were interesting, but we definitely felt that they were a bit too "commercial" as the information parts were not as extensive as we would have liked and the "shopping time" allotted was often much longer.

My first time using aviator. It was a hassle to start. It was good I had a hotel staff call for confirmation. Our booking was unheard of, so she has to fax our prepaid ticket/voucher. Had to wait for hours to get a confirmation for our next day tour. Was really disappointing considering it was prepaid weeks earlier. We could have wasted our day waiting for nothing without confirming first. It should have been hassle free.
Our voucher states a pick up time of 9:30 but we were picked up at 8. It was just a mess to start.
However, the tour was great. Our tour guide was a walking creature of knowledge. Bus was clean.
