This was a perfect cruise ship excursion. There is not much to do in Surabaya, but our guide tailored the tour perfectly to fit our taste. We visited two temples, ate lunch and went to a spa. We were able to do whatever we wanted with the time provided with a guide and driver. We do not enjoy museums so we focused more on other activities. Salsa was our guide. She entered each location with us to be sure that there were no language barriers. What we thought would be a very lackluster day turned out to be one of our favorites so far!
Very local. Something you could not do by yourself. It provided insight into how people live and work. The tour guide was excellent and added her own personal experiences. I highly recommend this tour if you want to know what it is like to be here rather than just see the sights.
Ryan was waiting for us as we exited the cruise terminal. He was such a wonderful driver and guide, funny, knowledgeable, and willing to adapt to anything we wanted to do. His spoke excellent English which made our trip even more enjoyable. He drove my wife and me in an very nice, almost new SUV which made the trip very comfortable and allowed easy conversation between us all.
Our Guide Fian was very experienced and knowledgeable about the area. He was friendly and very supportive. It was a rather long drive from our cruise port to Mt Bromo but it was well worth it. The landscape is absolutely amazing! We preferred to walk instead of riding a horse. Although walking over sandy surfaces, it was not difficult provided one has the proper shoes. Nevertheless I didn’t make it up to the top as the altitude (some 2,300m) was too much for me. But my husband made it well and ha was able to see the amazing view of the crater below.
Elvira is a LOVELY guide! We had done quite a bit of research and she was able to take us through the Chinatown/Pabean Market/Arabian Market/Mosque answering all kinds of questions! Her English is superb, and she was so patient, answering all kinds of questions about the area. Traffic is very busy in this bit of the world, but our wait for our tour bus, a charming young man named T, was always less than 10 minutes, and always with another interesting tidbit. Elvira showed us how to eat the fruit correctly, helped me buy perfume, and quickly whisked us to the 2nd biggest mall in Indonesia when the weather turned to hard rain. We would 100% do this tour again and would ask for Elvira! She was the best!
We had an amazing day visiting several beautiful beaches with our driver, Debobo. He was on time, friendly, and flexible, letting us decide how long to stay at each spot. The beaches — Nusa Dua, Geger, and Padang Padang — were stunning with white sand and clear water, and we ended the day with a great view at Uluwatu Temple. Highly recommend this tour for a fun and relaxing day in Bali!
It was an amazing tour! Everything was so well organised from the pick up at the hotel in Malang until the drop off at Katapang harbour. Our driver Anton was driving us safely to every sightseeing spot. We also learned a lot about Indonesia, food, culture and everything we asked him. Tumpak Sewu waterfalls, Mt. Bromo and Mt. Ijen are worth a visit. We highly recommend this trip!
Amazing experience with the best guide ine could ask for, very friendly, helpful and good with a camera, probs to Mr.Laz.
Be in mind, its a long trip and it will take a while till you are back, howevers its more than worth it.
Again, probs to our guide!
A truly wonderful experience. Super communication and everything was well planned and ran smoothly. Bromo and the waterfall are absolutely magical places and having a private trip means you can control the speed and time you want to spend ij the different places. Our guide, Alex, was amazing. She made the trip even better, feeling more like a friend than a guide. Great conversation and she was happy to help out in any way she could during the whole day. Highly recommend her as your guide if you can! Thanks Alef and all the other staff for a magical day!
