- Candi Wringinlawang - These impressive red brick gates, standing 50 feet tall, date back to the 14th to 15th century. Visitors will have the opportunity to closely examine and explore this structure, which historians identify as a gate rather than a temple.
- Candi Brahu - Initially thought to be the crematorium for a deceased king, this red brick temple predates the Majapahit era. As its name implies, it is a sacred site that remained in use during the Majapahit period. Visitors will explore why the theory of it being a crematorium is largely considered inaccurate.
- Candi Bajang Ratu - Similar to Wringin Lawang, this site is believed to be a gate leading to something sacred due to its design. Visitors will tour this magnificent site, which has influenced Balinese architecture.
- Candi Tikus - Named after its condition during excavation, Tikus Temple was actually a bathing site for the royal family, used before rituals or for leisure. Visitors will explore this site during their visit.
- Kedaton Temple - A complex of ruins believed to be part of the palace.
- Mojokerto - Surabaya Toll Road - This road is part of the journey to Trowulan, Mojokerto, and beyond.

Surabaya Half Day visit - We went to 7 Candi and monuments within 6 hours and the distance between each one was really close to each other. Amazing temples and very unique in Indonesia. The driver (think his name is Ryan) did an amazing job to bring us around. he was really patient even though we over run the expected tour time. Trippy Trip Tour really did a great job in complying all these great sites in half a day. The only set back was the driver driving too fast and cut in other cars with very little space in between, a common way of driving in Indonesia!

Interesting tour, Awesome guide - Exactly what was promised. Sites interesting. Our guide, Nael, was fun and interesting with lots of knowledge about them. He was a great conversationalist with excellent understanding of English. This was so much better than a ship's excursion as there was just the two of us.

A One-of-a-Kind Journey into Indonesia's Ancient History - The tour exceeded all our expectations! Our guide, Nael, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Majapahit history, bringing the ancient kingdom to life with fascinating stories and insights. The tour was well-paced, covering key historical sites while giving us time to absorb the rich history and cultural significance of each location.
Nael was not only informative but also engaging, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. He was always happy to answer our questions and provided historical context we wouldn’t have learned just by visiting on our own. The logistics were seamless, with comfortable transportation and well-planned stops. If you're interested in Indonesian history, this tour is a must-do! We are grateful to Nael for an unforgettable experience and highly recommend this one-of-a-kind tour to anyone visiting Surabaya.
We were also impressed by the tour company itself, which is run by enthusiastic young people who are truly passionate about sharing Indonesia’s history and culture. We would definitely love to join one of their other tours if we are in the area again. Highly recommended!

Great tour with a great guide - Even before the tour started, both Vincent and Nael were super friendly and communicative from the get-go. I started this tour straight from the airport, where Nael welcomed me warmly. Nael picked me up, despite my flight being delayed by a few hours—poor guy waited quite a while, but he was still all smiles, literally! During the car ride, we had some great conversations—from the sites to Indonesia’s history and culture in general. Nael was also super accommodating with my requests, making the experience feel personalized and relaxed. I strongly recommend this trip and this smiling guide!

Great tour Majapahit! - Our tour of the former Majapahit Empire was incredibly interesting, thanks in part to our wonderful Guide, Ryan. He spoke excellent English, so we could easily follow the tour.
In addition, Ryan was very flexible during the tour. We were able to stop for a lunch or toilet break in between without any problems, which made the experience very pleasant. He also talked with great enthusiasm about Indonesian culture which really gave an extra value to the tour.
All in all it was a great experience that I would definitely recommend!
