Mr Augus our tour guide was wonderful! We were picked up promptly at the sekupang terminal and we started our tour by going to guanyim statue, the activities such as flying carpet and then lunch at Barelang Kelong. Then we went for spa and foot reflexology Reborn at Nagoya, then trick eye museum, birds nest shop, and we had Nasi Padang before we return to Batam ferry terminal. Thank you for the great day!

I thought it would be a group tour, but it turned out to be a private tour just for my group. They provided thoughtful pick-up and drop-off service to each attraction and helped take photos. It offered more opportunities for cultural exchange than wandering around aimlessly without a plan, and helped me go from knowing nothing about Indonesia to understanding it. For my guide, Enny, Terima kasih.

We are vegetarians. The company thoughtfully arranged for us to have vegetarian restaurants instead of making us eat at meat restaurants. My father doesn't speak English or Malay, and the company specially arranged for a Chinese-speaking guide for us. The guide enthusiastically introduced each attraction. A company worth recommending.
