Semarang Private City Tour

After picking you up at the hotel, they will efficiently guide you to major tourist attractions in the city. Also, since it's a private tour, we can customize the itinerary to suit the participants, and the guide will explain things carefully. A satisfying lunch at a nice restaurant Since it was the last day of the trip, they dropped me off at the airport.

We booked a private tour in Indonesia with friends with the understanding that we could customize the experience for 5–7 hours and explore more unique, off-the-beaten-path locations. The tour guide was very nice and friendly throughout the day, which we did appreciate. However, despite requesting several times to see places different from the typical Viking cruise included tour, we were taken to the exact same stops. This made the private tour feel redundant and not tailored to our interests. It was disappointing, especially since we had clearly communicated that we wanted something more unique and less tourist-focused. Only at the very end of the tour did we visit a beach, which felt like a last-minute addition rather than a thoughtfully planned part of the experience. We also felt that safety and attentiveness could have been improved when crossing busy streets with heavy scooter traffic. The guide only assisted us once in these situations, which did not feel adequate given how chaotic and potentially dangerous the traffic can be. On a positive note, the lunch stop was excellent. The food was absolutely delicious, and the restaurant was a highlight of the day. Overall, while the guide was very kind, we would not recommend this tour if you are expecting a personalized private experience, especially if you are on a Viking cruise. You would likely see the same places on the included tour. We actually took another private tour the day before with a different guide, and that experience was completely different—much more customized, with hidden gems and a true behind-the-scenes feel, which is what we had hoped for here.

My friend and I spent the day touring Semarang with Nane. She was a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide. We very much enjoyed our time with her. We also enjoyed the foods that she selected for our lunch.

Moon was a fantastic guide for the day. The trip was fun and educational. I think the highlight of the day was when he took us to an antique shop. We all had fun exploring. We also enjoyed the Chinese temple we visited and even got to see a dance with dragons. Moon also sent us a lovely video of our day when we were done. He was so nice. It was a wonderful day!

Laila was a charming, knowledgeable guide ready to answer our myriad questions and explain her country's past and present... and much better at staging photos than this couple of seniors!

Nane was an exceptional guide. Highly recommend her! She was knowable, friendly and on time. We highly recommend East Journey.

I booked a city tour in Semarang. Nane, the guide was a very knowledgeable, friendly and fun person. She asked about my preferences and she takes my wishes into account gracefully during the whole tour. No problem at all, if I wanted to stop somewhere during the tour to try something out. Nane also gave lots of valuable info about the local food, culture and the eateries in the neighborhood. As I like to try local snacks, she did her utmost to buy me all sorts of local snacks and delicacies. Thank you, Nane! I highly recommend Nane as your semarang city tour guide.

We did the Semarang Private tour with Bu Nane and thoroughly enjoyed it. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and was able to personalise the tour to suit our interests. Our driver was also very good.

Our English speaking guide was knowledgeable, informative and considerate. We took this tour as we are seniors and wanted a more relaxed experience, coping with our needs, it was exactly that. Our driver negotiated the busy streets with ease making our journey very comfortable.

This was a wonderful tour of the highlights of Semarang with our extremely very knowledgeable guide Taufan. Taufan provided an in depth history of Semarang from its early days under Dutch control to modern times. Lunch at an upscale local restaurant was delicious. Couldn’t have asked for a better day.
