A very informative and enjoyable tour

Our guide Ryo was very friendly, spoke good English, and - being Batak himself - had a very sure grasp of local history and culture. We had a very enjoyable tour, thanks to Ryo (he went out of his way to include an extra stop at the Statue of Jesus) and the comprehensive itinerary. Two thumbs up!

Samosir Island is an Indonesian highlight

Samosir Island combines truly spectacular world class scenery of the massive Lake Toba and surrounding steep cliffs and mountains of the ancient volcanic caldera. Our guide Ryo and driver Eric were extremely generous in showing us their incredible homeland and sharing their wonderful Batak culture with us.
