What to expect
Discover the heritage of the former Riau Kingdom that once ruled their namesake islands and large parts of modern day Indonesia, Singapore, and Southern Malaysia. Your tour will start with a transfer from your hotel/accommodation to the pier, where you’ll board a boat with your guide to cross over to Penyengat Island. Once on the island, you’ll hop on a baechak (similar to a tuk tuk) with your guide and head around the island to see the sights. Penyengat Island has a rich cultural history as the former home of the Riau royal family and many sites are currently being nominated for UNESCO World Heritage status. You’ll visit the former palaces of the Riau Kingdom, the Royal Mosque, the former forts of the invading Dutch, and many other interesting sites on the island. Finish off the day with a Indonesian set lunch at a local restaurant, then you’ll be able to enjoy a 60 min traditional massage at a local spa if you opted for this package.





Reviews
Tour guide (Michael) was nice and funny. Chatted throughout the whole journey. My friend and i are lucky as we're the only one whom have booked the tour so it seems like a private tour cater for both of us. Weather wasn't promising so we've actually spent longer time for lunch. But we still eventually went onto the Penyengat Island. However, main anticipation for the trip was the ruins of old palace and we didn't manage to visit it. Lunch was ayam penyat, which was really yummy. Massage was done at a nice and clean parlour which seems to be catering for tourists too.
Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. All described destinations visited. Exceptional good value for money paid. It is a very good experience.
Enjoyed every moment of it. The guide was great. Being informative and entertaining.
The guide is good and help us to cover all the area and activities in the itinery and small additional request. The car is spacious and nice.
Tour guide is very kind, itinerary also has a very detailed introduction, and travel time to stay enough, not very hasty, great!
Itinerary is reasonable, tour guide to explain in detail, a good experience!
Guided tour service attitude, time control and routes are arranged well, this tour of the tour is very convenient and comfortable, cost-effective.
Although the weather affected the trip to do some changes, but the tour is very professional
The focus of the trip is just to visit a small island. It feels like Hong Kong is going to Cheung Chau. In fact, you can visit it yourself. Originally, it was a good choice with the group. Someone explained it in the middle! But the price is too much, and the lunch is not very good and rich. The actual time spent on the island is only over one hour. The buildings and scenery on the island are very beautiful and very leisurely. However, the tour guide is very friendly and actively talks to us, it is worthy of praise!
