The tour to Trowulan Tour Ruin was excellent. Our tour guide Agus was great and very knowledgeable on the history of the Majapahit Kingdom and the area. The pickup from our hotel in Surabaya was seem less and the lunch that was included was excellent.

To us, Pak Agus, our unassuming guide, is more a historian than a tour guide. He knows the history of everything we came across by heart and answered all our questions with learned details and genuine enthusiasm. We booked two trips separately on Viator - the Surabaya City tour and the Trowulan Majapahit historical site tour over two days - without realising that both were by the same firm. We were lucky to have Pak Agus guiding us through both trips. He walked us through the history of Surabaya like a pro. The next day, he patiently and earnestly narrated the Majapahit history for almost the entire 2 hours drive to the archaeological sites at Trowulan. Most impressively, he read the old Javanese words carved into the stones with ease, like a true archaeologist, even those with incomplete sentences that we picked randomly. At the end of the tours we unanimously agreed that he should be a history professor than a tour guide.
Pak Agus aside, both tours were well organised and educational. Food was good and our driver, Pak Azil, was skillful and a safe driver. We highly recommend these tours.

Suhyono and our driver ( I apologize for not writing you name down!) were excellent. Yono is an excellent history teacher. The only drawback was the restaurant menu was in Indonesian and our interpretive app quit working. The guides do not eat with you and the wait staff spoke little to no English. But, the food was good.

Thoroughly enjoyed this day tour from Surabaya. Our guide Agus and driver arrived in advance and messaged on WhatsApp when they arrived.
Agus was very knowledgable and skillfully explained the history of the Majapahit Kingdom and its role in the region over time on the way to the sites. He then able to point out many of the aspects of the history as we toured the artefact sites. The tour left me much more informed about the regions history - which I knew essentially nothing about prior. As I was staying at the Majapahit hotel it lined up well with the story behind the name!
Bottled water was included, along with a stop for light drinks (iced tea/coffee etc.) and then an additional stop for lunch - both included. Modern bathrooms were available at both stops. The lunch menu was quite extensive and had some meat free options as well.
Overall a fantastic day and so glad we did this tour!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and that Agus shared the history of the Majapahit Kingdom in an interesting and informative way. It’s great to hear everything from the stops to the meals worked out well, and that the tour added meaning to your stay at the Majapahit Hotel. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again on another tour

Agus, is a very friendly, jovial and knowledgeable tour guide, he knows the history of Trowulan very well and we have a good understanding the history of majaphait empire.

Nice excursion to museum and multiple beautiful temple sites around the Trowulan area. Most of the temples had no other visitors, or very few, so they were very peaceful. My guide Djoko was great.

Yolo, our guide, knew his facts & history and had good English. This excursion covers the ruins of Trowulan. It was excellent but very hot & humid. They provide water and lunch
