Amazing City Tour - Despite a two-hour ship delay, Diki and Bima patiently waited, ensuring we didn't miss our amazing private Surabaya tour. The city tour was fascinating, taking us to the Submarine Monument, the bustling Ampel Arabian Market, and the iconic Surabaya Heroes Monument. I highly recommend their services!

100% Recomended Surabaya City Tour Package!!! - It was a great trip! The tour guide and the driver pick us up at the port on time. The car was very comfortable even though the weather in Surabaya was very hot that day. The guide giving us the information about the city and sometimes the driver tell us about the jokes in Surabaya. They are very nice and welcome.

Expensive - Our first problem was that I thought I was paying in Australian $$, but it turned out to be US $$ which added 50% to the bill. Just check your currency! The organisation of our tour was good, the guide got in touch with us the day before to introduce himself and turned up on time to pick us up at our hotel. The car was big, comfortable and air conditioned. Our guide, who I won’t name, did not give us much information at all. He said he was very shy and it showed. He was a sweet young student. The driver appeared not to speak English, but he drove safely and was pleasant. Our favourite place was the Arab quarter where we were able to buy some delicious food to nibble but we were only taken to one street. We also enjoyed the Chinese temple. The museums were frankly boring. We were not taken to the fish market, the Chinese quarter or a mosque. We chose not to go shopping for souvenirs. In conclusion, for the three of us (in our 70s) this tour was not very exciting or good value.
