We went to a mosque, temple, lunch, historic old town in the heat and humidity. Be careful! Everything was very interesting, but you have to be prepared.

Poured Rain
We had wonderful tour guide however the rain ( hm I wonder how that happens In Monsoon season?!!) made it much less than it should have or could have been. Our guide Nita was great and she was a wealth of information and made the best of it. I would recommend this small group tour.

Don’t go! Everything was...
Don’t go! Everything was run down and dirty! Firstly, the oldest train building - just empty rooms!
Plai Temple surrounded by barded wire and very average, Mosque plain with rubbish strewn around car park. Highlight lunch but no cold beer as it was a Muslim restaurant. The people are all lovely. Tour guide - nice fellow but difficulty in understanding!
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re sorry the tour didn’t meet your expectations. This was a shared tour, and while other guests gave positive 5-star reviews, we understand everyone’s experience can differ.
Semarang’s heritage sites are kept in their original form, which some enjoy for authenticity, though it may feel less polished for others.
We appreciate your notes about cleanliness and guide communication and will use them to improve. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the lunch and the friendliness of local people.
Thank you again — your feedback helps us grow and refine our service.

Uke did a great job
I really enjoyed this tour and our guide, Uke. She was full of information and had a very welcoming manner. It was a great overview since we were on a ship and only there for a day. The company was also very considerate when my husband got ill and could not attend. The small group was also a bonus. Thanks Uke for a great intro to your city and country.
Operator response
HiJoan

Best regards,

this deficiency at Trip
We had booked and paid for the excursion with German guide, we get the tour in English. Since we don't speak and understand English, it was a pictures excursion. Too bad , there was no German speaking guide present at the meeting point. I had tried several times to register Maangel with Tripatvisor. Unfortunately, it's in vain.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback.
We would like to clarify that the German-speaking guide service is only available for guests traveling with AIDA Cruises. This is clearly stated in the product description under the "Guide Language" section at the time of booking.
On the day of the tour, we also offered the option to either proceed with an English-speaking guide or to cancel the tour with a full refund. Since the tour continued, we assumed you had agreed to join with the English guide.
We regret the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
