Excellent tour with Nita! - We had such a wonderful day with Nita - she made our visit so special. One of the highlights of our day was the visit to the spice market - such a fascinating place to see the local life. We had a delicious lunch and some great batik shopping afterwards! Thank you Nita, your entertaining stories and our visits to see the sites was very special!

A beautiful city you won’t want to miss seeing. - Nita was our tour guide and did a wonderful job of taking us to all the places that we had researched and listed. There were a couple of places we could not go due to current political issues so she provided some great alternatives. We particularly enjoyed the puppet show at a Chinese temple we would have never known about had she not taken us there.

Great tour for city sights. - Nita was an awesome tour guide, very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. We got our money's worth as she took us to more places than expected. This 4 hour tour was 6 hours and no complaints.

Great meal - The restaurant meal was excellent. I would eliminate the market or make it much shorter. Surabaya is putrid of the resistance and the war of independence, however the square and museum cover the same area of history. Adding s photogenic spot would improve the tour.

A really informative tour - We had a really good guide in Nita: she was from the city, and was able to bring the whole tour alive. She was funny and informative, and we learned lots about Indonesian culture from her. We especially loved the visit to the vegetable and fish market, though this was not to everyone’s taste, as it was fairly “in your face “!

Unfortunately, our tour... - Unfortunately, our tour guide was a very quiet gentleman who said very little on the bus as he drove us around and around the city. We went to places that were not on the tour and skipped places that were on the tour. For example, we were supposed to visit the Arab quarter. The only thing we saw of the Arab quarter was door in the market exiting to the airport. We did not get to experience walking through the air report or seeing any of it. Same goes for Chinatown after we turned the corner. The guide mentioned that that was Chinatown we just passed, but all we saw it was part of the gate to Chinatown, but never went to see it. it was quite a boring excursion, and the whole group decided to just be dropped at the mall and end the tour there.
