"We had a very lovely afternoon with Vonny, with incredible food (we had the best doughnuts ever) and conversation. Vonny took us to explore some different areas in Surabaya and also to a local Supermarkt. Thank you so much again Vonny for a very nice time together 🩷🙏"

Last minute tour
"In the morning I wanted to book a tour for the same day in the afternoon. I was very pleased this was possible, even when so last minute. It was a mix of city and food which I loved!"

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!"

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 !"

Knowledeagble and funny
"I spent a lovely afternoon with Vonny. She showed me the highlights of Surabaya in a short amount of time, since I was only there for a day. Not only does she know a lot about the city, she has a nice sense of humor as well. Vonny also stuffed me with all kinds of local food, which was much appreciated. ;)"
"What better way to get to know about a place you're visiting than to get to know one of its residents. Vonny was a delight to spend time with, and showed us some of Surabaya's highlights. Amongst those was a favourite bakery of hers, and it was great to have her tell us about the different local products - followed by a tasting of course! We also visited a long established drinks company where we were able to sample some of their flavours that were unknown to us before - we recommend the cocopandan.
Vonny was extremely generous with her time, and it was great to have such a warm introduction to Surabaya and to make a new friend."
"It was a Wonderfull day with Vonny. She explained a lot about all the areas we went to and we definitely clicked right away! She is so kind and warm.
Thanks Vonny, until next time!"
