If I could give this tour 10 stars I would. It is a shame that it is so underrated. We are so thankful we chose to take it. It even included a massage 90 minutes and tasting of their famous cakes and coffee. Phoebe was an amazing massage therapist and took all my shoulder pain away. Gunawan was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable for our tour both educationally and personally. He gave us an insight like no other with places we visited. He was also very kind and respectful with personal touches that included making sure the car was kept cool for us and that we got exactly what we wanted for lunch. Even in the end he saw us off at customs and waited to ensure we made our gate safe before leaving. A world class experience we would definitely do again!!!!!

We hope to welcome you back again soon for another amazing day in Batam! Warm regards, Batam Private Tours
