Great guide and driver - My friend and I had a great time with Fajar and our driver. They both spoke good English and had great senses of humor. They were happy to make changes in our itinerary. I have mobility issues and they were both very helpful in helping me navigate.

A really enjoyable & well rounded tour of Surabaya - Fajar is the knowledgable and friendly guide, who together with his driver showed us around Surabaya. Apart from visiting the historical central square, Chinese area and the Arab souk, we also visited an impressive Hindu temple before exploring the enlightening museum of the revolution, a part of history we were not familiar with. Lunch was followed by a choice between a tourist shop… or a Russian submarine. Not a difficult decision - it’s not every day you can explore a Sub! The refreshing openness, warmth and candour of the team made for a really enjoyable day: we would not hesitate to recommend them.

Wonderful Day Tour and Exceptional Guide - A special thank you to our tour guide, Pram, who made the entire experience even more memorable. Pram was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to everyone in the group. She explained the history and local culture in such an interesting and engaging way, and she was always ready to help with a smile. Her recommendations and helpful tips really made a difference throughout the day. We felt very well taken care of and learned so much while having a great time. Highly recommend this tour — and if you get Pram as your guide and nit forgetting Dicky our driver, you’re very lucky!

Well done. - Elvia, our guide and Dede, our driver, worked very hard to accommodate our preferences for the attractions that we wanted to visit. Even had a stop at a local coffee shop to experience a true Indonesian coffee, per our wishes. They helped with menu/process to be sure we got the most out of our visit. Well done.

Private tour with many impressions - We really had a private tour with Zidney. He informed us very well about the different cultural groups and her life together. We visited various markets and temples as well as monuments and museums of the freedom struggle. He coordinates it very well with the rider Fauci , so we were picked up in the heat always promptly for the next stage. What not to tell ourselves today, also personal and private things, so that we also got a certain impression into family life. He also took beautiful souvenir photos that were sent to us via WhatsApp. Thanks for the eventful hours.

Introduction to Indonesia - Our Guide was Vincent from TrippyTrip Tour along with an associate (driver). They provided their expertise for our Private Day Tour of Surabaya Historiculture. Their services were reasonably prised. We felt safe on our commute and had both a knowledgeble guide and driver. We visited the Submarine Monument, Surabaya City Square/Balai Pemuda, Sunan Ampel Great Mosque, traditional Fish Market Pabean, Surabaya Heroes Monument, Mirota Batik and Handicraft souvenirs shop and Kelenteng Sanggar Agung and 4 faces Budha. We passed by the Chinese sector as our safety was questionable. I would advise using Trippy Trip Tours as Surabaya is poor and knowledgeable tour guides such as Vincent, add to a safe visit.

Underwhelming - Our guide was a very pleasant and courteous young man but unfortunately he didn't seem to have much knowledge of the sites he took us to and wasn't able to tell us much about anything we visited. Was a bit disappointing overall.
