When you hit the road and land in a new city like Surabaya, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Surabaya spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Surabaya.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Surabaya, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Surabaya awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Surabaya, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Surabaya. Get ready to explore like a local!

Such a pleasant and passionned guide
"Vonny is a wonderful guide, knowing well her country and her city. She shares with passion the beauties of Surabaya including the food and the coffee.
The coffee shop where she took us is an historical place.
We warmly recommend Vonny"
"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!! "

Magnificent Walking Tour Old Surabaya
"I had a superb experience with Vonny on a Walking Tour through Old Surabaya. Meeting at the Majapahit Hotel, a nice chat on Indonesia, the history, the geography. Vonny explained everything so clearly, answered all my questions and was very engaging bringing the old city to life ! I can not recommend her enough. Courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and very pleasant to spend the day with exploring !"
