The couple participated in a multicultural tour of Indonesia. My guide Bella's Japanese is very We were able to have an experience that we could never have had while being exposed to foreign culture with skill. We had a great time. They also ordered cookies which I recommend as souvenirs, and they took care of everything. And when I go to Indonesia next year, Bella-san, please appoint a guide, so thank you.
Ibek is knowleagable about the place.We have learn so much about the history of Indoneaia.We recommend her as a Tour Guide.
It was used on Mondays, but with so many facilities closed on Mondays, this tour offers suggestions for places that are very satisfying. We had a great day! vera, our guide, we were so close to our guests!
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Ibek was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun. We picked up plenty of fascinating insights about Jakarta and its history. Yoga, our driver, was also fantastic, making the journey smooth and comfortable throughout. Highly recommended.
It was great to be exposed to the wonderful culture of Jakarta. Also, the guide was nicer and I wanted to go to Indonesia.
I just finished a private tour in Indonesia, and I have to say — Ibek, my tour guide and all the beautiful places were the highlights of my trip. She’s not only super friendly and easy to talk to, but also incredibly knowledgeable about Indonesian history. I loved how she explained things with so much passion and detail, it made every place we visited feel meaningful. If you're lucky enough to get Ibek as your guide, you're in great hands. She truly made the experience unforgettable! Super recommended to avail MyProGuide's tour services.
