Great way to enjoy Surabaya - We had a wonderful day in Surabaya. Olivia was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! Her knowledge and enthusiasm was perfect. She met us at the port with a car and driver. It's so much better than doing the big bus excursions from the ship. She took us all over Surbaya. Often we were the only tourists to be seen. We wanted to shop for some Batik and she made an extra stop at a wonderful uncrowded store at the end of the day. Because we didn't have a lot of time, she even helped with the shopping. It was a perfect way to see Surabaya!

The best way to see Surabaya! - We had a spectacular tour of Surabaya. Olvia was a wonderful guide, taking us to places that truly gave us a taste of this town. We had a short time in port for our visit, and she modified our itinerary to fit our schedule perfectly. Having said that, at no point did we feel rushed or that we missed out on anything. She even helped us with our shopping at the end of our day. I'd absolutely recommend this tour anyone who wants to get an understanding of both the history and the flavor of Surabya!

Wonderful full day in Sarabaya - Our Guide Budi was helpful interesting and knowledgeable with very well spoken English and a great itinerary ,he had a great deal of knowledge regarding all the sites and the history of this area . His itinerary was rich with facinating sites and he added in as many extras as we showed interested in. Thé lunch was delcious in a lovely indonésien restaurant and the car was super and cool and always waiting for us after seeing the sites. The driver was excellant and very obliging. We would highly recommend Budi for a guide on Java to everyone. Georges and Ricki Prevost BC Canada

Surabaya private tour - Surabaya is a large port town that doesn’t have a lot to offer, which is why we booked a private tour. While our guide was nice, her level of knowledge was below what we have experienced from 90% of tour guides. Furthermore she spent a significant amount of time relating to the driver rather than giving us information on the city, country, or areas we were passing. We were disappointed. The best we saw was the Heroes Monument and Museum.. and we had a museum guide for that. The submarine was also interesting.

Needs More Experience - Our guide was Am??? - he did not have a name tag and he did not have a shirt that said East Journey Tours. He was very personable but lacked knowledge. We had to ask questions in order to start a dialogue. The driver never spoke a word. We went to an amusement park and we asked if it was open because we did not see any children. He said it was open but the children were on the other side. Later, we found that the park had been closed for a few years. He was unable to answer some simple questions. He had no idea where to take us ,but luckily, I had a list from the web site. I have never taken a Viator Tour which I did not rate a 5. This young man will some day with more knowledge be a wonderful guide. Right now he is not ready to be guiding.
