The tour with Bob and his colleagues was an unforgettable and fantastic experience. I booked three days and was rewarded with lots of orangutans and other rainforest inhabitants. The atmosphere was always very good, the food was simple but tasty and the accommodation was appropriate for the location. I returned very enthusiastic! But there are a few details that are important to know if you want to do the tour. 1. It is a serious hiking tour that requires appropriate clothing and shoes. 2. It is very slippery in the rainy season. Experienced hikers can cope with it, but beginners have to concentrate very hard. 3. The accommodation is very basic and you should be a bit more robust. You can then give it five stars again afterwards. 4. If you get involved, the tour is great and highly recommended! Have fun!

I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves! Every went really well. I paid for a private trip.. my guide Ruslan was very experienced. Within 10 minutes we found a mother and child. Then maybe 30 minutes after Ruslan could hear the big male. He was about 200 metres away at first, but then he came within 10ft. It was a great experience…

Very pleasant trip. Rajiv was very friendly. I did not know where to go so I asked him to pick. Went to various different places from a crocodile farm, Indian church, grand mosque, sultan palace and Tjong afie mansion 👍 nice day out.

Interesting places & experience visited lead by driver / guide Mr Iman - crocodile farm, Tjong A Fie museum, Palace Maimoon, grand mosque, Brastagi shopping mall, city tour… he’s knowledgeable & friendly. 👍🤩

Nice experience. Beautiful scenery. Skilful driver cum guide, Mr Kasim, despite long drive & rainy weather.
