If you book directly at Whoosh, the price for a one-way ticket is only 350k-500k (max 225 kr.), but it is definitely worth the experience, however you should know that you have to go through the security check with a scanner and the like, like at the airport, so be aware that there are things that cannot be brought in your hand luggage.
A very well used day, the train experience is amazing, the museum a little boring because there is only information in Indonesian, very nice parts of the city, and the best of everything and most unexpected, the show of Saung Angklung Udjo, beautiful!! The guide is a little novice but very friendly and collaborative. 100% worth it.
I recently completed this tour so my experience is still fresh. My tour guide, Leoni, was full of knowledge and was able to provide a lot of historical context behind many of the places that we went to such as Gedung Sate. Furthermore, we took lots of pictures capturing the experience in the itinerary. The highlight of the tour: Saung Angklung Udjo was really entertaining, it basically enmeshes Wayang, traditional dance, angklung orchestra and an interactive angklung group session to not only showcase Indonesian art and traditions but also details Indonesian mythological (Hindu) figures. Besides that, the tour is 14+ hours long so there is a bit of room for flexibility once you get to Bandung, feel free to communicate your preferences to your guide based on your sensibilities.
