NOTHING....the meeting point as stated in the booking confirmation was changed...even a policeman did not know where the location was. The guide took me down 1 part of the market and then told me the rest would not be open...he then took me on a walk through parts of George town...parts of it was scary...at 1 point we went down stairs and under an isolated dingy and flooded bridge.
As for the water and snacks that was part of the package...I recieved nothing...what a rip off

Hi
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the meeting point and any inconvenience caused by the changes to the original plan. It appears there was a miscommunication regarding the opening hours of the shops in the bazaar, as they typically open later in the day. We also regret that the experience did not meet your expectations and that the promised water and snacks were not provided. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we will address these concerns with the guide and team to ensure future improvements. We appreciate your understanding.
Warm regards,
The Wonder tours team
