Amazing Surabaya city tour
"Vonny took us on a full-day trip in the city of Surabaya. We customized the tour a bit to our liking and combined some hidden gems with culinary tour highlights. Vonny was extremely helpful, had great ideas in tailoring our day. The communication before the trip was prompt and really clear. Our day with Vonny was really relaxed. We could spend as much time as we liked on each stop, there was never any time pressure. We asked about half a million questions about history, local tradition, food and what ever came in our minds and always got great, knowledgeable answers. Thank you for your patience with us Vonny! Pick-ups, drop-offs and drives around were smooth and safe - we didn’t have to worry about parking or transportation for a second, everything was organized perfectly. A great, and a long day with Vonny taught us a lot about Surabaya and Indonesia. We recommend her highly!"

Awesome tour with Vonny!
"If you are in Surabaya, you must book a tour with Vonny! I did a food and city sights tour and it was the best few hours I spent in Surabaya. Vonny is passionate about her city and it shows. Vonny went above and beyond and catered for my dietary needs. I came away learning a lot about the very interesting history of Surabaya, eating some delicious food and most of all, being made to feel like I was family. Thank you Vonny!!"

Heerlijke tour!
"Deze tour met Vonny en haar man was fantastisch! Vonny en haar man zijn locals die veel over Surabaya weten. Ze nemen je mee door de stad heen en laten je leuke plekjes zien. Vonny weet ook waar je moet zijn voor de lekkerste drankjes en snacks. Vonny en haar man namen echt de tijd om ons mee te nemen naar verschillende plekjes in de stad. Naast dat waren ze ook hele heerlijke gesprekspartners. Ik raad deze tour ten zeerste aan!! "

Surely a super Surabaya guru!
"Vonny is a true expert on all things Surabaya - past, present and everything in between. She brought me to visit places that had not been on my radar, and I usually do research places to go beforehand. I'd easily recommend her - without missing a beat - to anyone who plans to visit this exciting, second largest city of Indonesia."

Just book a tour with Vonny!
"We booked our tour the evening before and we're picked up by Vonny at 10.00 the next morning. She showed us some highlights of Surabaya and literally opened some closed doors for us. The additional information of Vonny made the tour very special. We ended the tour with a delicious lunch."
