Great tour with a great guide - Even before the tour started, both Vincent and Nael were super friendly and communicative from the get-go. I started this tour straight from the airport, where Nael welcomed me warmly. Nael picked me up, despite my flight being delayed by a few hours—poor guy waited quite a while, but he was still all smiles, literally! During the car ride, we had some great conversations—from the sites to Indonesia’s history and culture in general. Nael was also super accommodating with my requests, making the experience feel personalized and relaxed. I strongly recommend this trip and this smiling guide!

Great tour Majapahit! - Our tour of the former Majapahit Empire was incredibly interesting, thanks in part to our wonderful Guide, Ryan. He spoke excellent English, so we could easily follow the tour. In addition, Ryan was very flexible during the tour. We were able to stop for a lunch or toilet break in between without any problems, which made the experience very pleasant. He also talked with great enthusiasm about Indonesian culture which really gave an extra value to the tour. All in all it was a great experience that I would definitely recommend!

Great historical tour - Ryan's extensive knowledge of the historical sites we visited was impressive, and he was always eager to share fascinating details about each monument. His service as a tour guide and driver was outstanding. He was professional, courteous, and ensured that our experience was comfortable and enjoyable. His fluency in English and excellent communication skills made the tour even more enriching, as he was able to clearly and engagingly convey the history and significance of each location.

Interesting and memorable tour - If you are in Surabaya you must book this tour! My guides Ryan and Dea went above and beyond to make this a memorable tour, which it absolutely was. They are really passionate about their culture and history and it shows. I came away learning a lot about the history of the Majapahit period and culture of the area and Indonesia, visiting incredible temples and interesting museums. They were both so happy to answer all my many questions.

The sites were... - The sites were marvelous, well tended, albeit I wish they had signs in English. We had 2 guides, one was clearly more knowledgeable, and more comfortable in English than the other. But both were very well meaning and tried to ensure we had a good experience
