Privétour door Surabaya

An excellent 1 day city tour with Nita, our personable Volcanologist guide who was informative, fun and knowledgeable. Had unique photo ideas at every location. Gavye plenty of fun facts, history and legends surrounding Surabaya that made the tour all the more interesting. All in all an enjoyable experience that covered good ground but that we could do at our own pace.

Our guide ANUR was very pleasant. She knew how to guide us through the city and introduce us to its culture. She was attentive to our tastes and pace.

We had a great time with Budi, our tour guide, and Anom, our driver. Budi was knowledgable about Surabaya’s history. He was good in keeping time to ensure we won’t miss our ship.

This was an interesting tour. Our guide, Salsa was outstanding and the driver made us feel safe. Salsa is knowledgable and made the day fun with lots of small surprises along the way like taking a motorized rickshaw through China town and treating us to a delish fresh fish lunch at a local restaurant.

We had an amazing day exploring Surabaya with Andre! Highly recommend Andre! We visited all the cultural areas from local markets, temples, and historical sites!

This is a great tour for cruisers. The times are flexible to meet the ship's schedule, you see more than the ship's tours do, and you get a great personal guide and a driver who keeps the van blessedly cool while you step out at the various sites. Our guide, Yuni, spoke perfect English and was very engaging. She went the extra mile at every stop, such as getting my wife to go behind the scenes at the Chinese temple puppet show, buying us some snake fruit to try at the market, and helping us interact with locals who were very interested to meet us at many of the stops. It was great fun! The becha ride (tuk tuk) was an unexpected surprise and lots of fun. The restaurant meal was excellent. Yuni explained all of the food and how to eat it (you can add your own chili salsa to have as much Javanese spice as you like). If you come to Surabaya, I encourage you to take this tour. It's very well run, it's a great value for the money, and you'll come away with a lot more than you ever expected!

Great communication with the provider. Comfortable air conditioned vehicle. Nabilila was wonderful and very flexible, which made the tour enjoyable for us. Her knowledge of the history of Surabaya and Indonesia was very helpful.

Wonderful tour with Agus to the Dutch European section of city, Chinatown by Tuk tuk including the Chinese Temple of three religions, the Arabic section of the city including the market and the mosque and ending with a terrific lunch. Our driver (Andre?) was very skilled and the vehicle was new with AC. We probably skipped a few aspects of the tour as we were limited by ship time in port. Agus spoke excellent English. Just do it!!

Review: Exceptional Surabaya City & Food Tour Our day in Surabaya was absolutely seamless, thanks to our guide, Salsa, and our driver, Andre. If you are visiting the region—especially if you are coming in via cruise ship—we cannot recommend this duo highly enough. Expert Guiding & Deep Knowledge Salsa is a true asset to her tour company. Her English is excellent, and she shared a wealth of knowledge that went far beyond a standard "sightseeing" script. We gained a deep understanding of: • Indonesian History: Specifically the fascinating journey toward independence. • Cultural Diversity: She provided insightful facts regarding the many local religions that coexist in the city. • The Highlights: We covered an impressive amount of ground, including the local temples, the Russian submarine, Chinatown, and the War Museum. Authentic Flavors The food was a highlight of our trip! Salsa treated us to an excellent local coffee and a wonderful seafood lunch that felt authentic and high-quality. Flawless Logistics The logistics were handled with total professionalism: • Prompt Service: Our driver, Andre, was incredible. Every time we stepped out of a location, he was immediately available and waiting for us. He was incredibly polite and professional throughout the day. • Cruise Friendly: One of our main concerns was our cruise ship schedule. Salsa and Andre managed our time perfectly, ensuring we saw everything on our list while getting us back to the port with ample time to board. Salsa’s passion for her city and Andre’s efficiency made for an unforgettable day. Five stars!

This was a perfect cruise ship excursion. There is not much to do in Surabaya, but our guide tailored the tour perfectly to fit our taste. We visited two temples, ate lunch and went to a spa. We were able to do whatever we wanted with the time provided with a guide and driver. We do not enjoy museums so we focused more on other activities. Salsa was our guide. She entered each location with us to be sure that there were no language barriers. What we thought would be a very lackluster day turned out to be one of our favorites so far!
