Small group tour with the excellent guide and driver. Neeta really looked after us. Beautiful lunch provided with good choice for veggies. Taken to all the important sights and given a good commentary. Good for cruise passengers. No worry about being back On time. They take care of everything. Highly recommended.

Excellent guide, very interesting and not too long. Only 12 of us in 30 seater coach. We missed our Viator booking at the previous port and they kindly gave this one free other than the cost of the meal at a posh restaurant (£6 each) at the end of the tour. This was excellent. Thanks Viator

Great Excursion

mandcshaw, Jan 2026

Convenient way to see tourist attractions. Small group, air conditioned transport, water supplied. Our guide, Nita was excellent guide, knowledgeable and good sense of humour

Poured Rain

Debbie_B, Jan 2026

We had wonderful tour guide however the rain ( hm I wonder how that happens In Monsoon season?!!) made it much less than it should have or could have been. Our guide Nita was great and she was a wealth of information and made the best of it. I would recommend this small group tour.

Don’t go! Everything was...

Judith_E, Jun 2025

Don’t go! Everything was run down and dirty! Firstly, the oldest train building - just empty rooms! Plai Temple surrounded by barded wire and very average, Mosque plain with rubbish strewn around car park. Highlight lunch but no cold beer as it was a Muslim restaurant. The people are all lovely. Tour guide - nice fellow but difficulty in understanding!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re sorry the tour didn’t meet your expectations. This was a shared tour, and while other guests gave positive 5-star reviews, we understand everyone’s experience can differ. Semarang’s heritage sites are kept in their original form, which some enjoy for authenticity, though it may feel less polished for others. We appreciate your notes about cleanliness and guide communication and will use them to improve. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the lunch and the friendliness of local people. Thank you again — your feedback helps us grow and refine our service.

Uke did a great job

Joan_P, Apr 2025

I really enjoyed this tour and our guide, Uke. She was full of information and had a very welcoming manner. It was a great overview since we were on a ship and only there for a day. The company was also very considerate when my husband got ill and could not attend. The small group was also a bonus. Thanks Uke for a great intro to your city and country.

Response from Host, May 2025

HiJoan Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and that Uke made it a great experience. Sorry to hear your husband couldn’t join — we hope he’s feeling better now. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again someday! Best regards, Stanley

Highlights of Semarang

Una_A, Apr 2025

A great tour to know the history of Semarang . This was a small group tour of 8 . We had a great guide - Nita . She had an excellent historical knowledge as well as making as laugh with her mythical tales . We went to the old Dutch part , the railway museum building of a 100 doors , the largest Chinese temple and the got a great view of Semarang from the monument at the mosque . Easy to be picked up from the port and definitely good to see the highlights of Semarang . Thank you Nita

Excellent experience

Raymond_L, Mar 2025

Last stop inutil by old trainstation!!! We lost a long time for nothing to see, better go in a shoppingmall.

We had an excellent tour...

Kenneth_M, Mar 2025

We had an excellent tour with Nita. There were 14 of us in a very comfortable vehicle traveling around the city. Nita spoke excellent English and was eager to share information with us. The only negative we had was too much time was spent at the railroad station which would have been better to spend in Old Town. We were fortunate to have had such a terrific guide for the day.

It was good but we felt...

Mark_M, Mar 2025

It was good but we felt we spent too long at each location especially the train museum. It got a little ponderous. The lunch was very good. For a 5 hour tour I think we could have seen more.

Best Tour Guide!

Sylvia_H, Mar 2025

Our guide made this tour exceptional! We have been to many other temples and antiquities but Nita made everything fresh, interesting and informative! Her personality is engaging, open, and funny! The itinerary is also a lot better than most other tours!

Most kind, knowledgeable guide EVER

Andrea_L, Feb 2025

We had Nane as our guide and Mr. Raminto as our driver. We had a private car which was very clean and comfortable. We couldn’t have been more happy with the trip. Nane met us at the terminal and told us so many details about Semarang and her country. We had a wonderful lunch, the time went quickly. I am most grateful for Nane and want to say thank you.

What a great way to see semarang

Sarah_N, Dec 2024

Nice Day in Semerang

WILLIAM_M, Feb 2024

Our guide Atik was great. We learned a lot about Semerang and Indonesia. Very nice temple and a great lunch! Walking through the old town we encountered a couple doing wedding photos and they explained their dress and the ceremony to us.

Tour guide Nane and driver Pito were very professional. They stuck to our tour itinerary and Nane took her time to give us insights. She also accommodated our few requests to stop at certain stores. Overall an excellent & enjoyable tour for the price
