Trowulan Tour Ruin of Majapahit Kingdom from Surabaya - The tour to Trowulan Tour Ruin was excellent. Our tour guide Agus was great and very knowledgeable on the history of the Majapahit Kingdom and the area. The pickup from our hotel in Surabaya was seem less and the lunch that was included was excellent.

Perfect guide for the history buffs - To us, Pak Agus, our unassuming guide, is more a historian than a tour guide. He knows the history of everything we came across by heart and answered all our questions with learned details and genuine enthusiasm. We booked two trips separately on Viator - the Surabaya City tour and the Trowulan Majapahit historical site tour over two days - without realising that both were by the same firm. We were lucky to have Pak Agus guiding us through both trips. He walked us through the history of Surabaya like a pro. The next day, he patiently and earnestly narrated the Majapahit history for almost the entire 2 hours drive to the archaeological sites at Trowulan. Most impressively, he read the old Javanese words carved into the stones with ease, like a true archaeologist, even those with incomplete sentences that we picked randomly. At the end of the tours we unanimously agreed that he should be a history professor than a tour guide.
Pak Agus aside, both tours were well organised and educational. Food was good and our driver, Pak Azil, was skillful and a safe driver. We highly recommend these tours.

Well organised, with a "history professor" as a guide - To us, Pak Agus, our unassuming guide, was more historian than tour guide. He seemed to know the story behind everything we encountered and answered every question with depth, clarity, and genuine enthusiasm.
We booked two separate trips on Viator - a Surabaya City Tour and a Trowulan Majapahit historical site tour - without realising they were run by the same company. It turned out to be a stroke of luck, because Pak Agus guided us on both days.
In Surabaya, he walked us through the city’s past like a seasoned storyteller. The next day, during the nearly two-hour drive to Trowulan, he patiently and earnestly narrated the Majapahit history almost the entire way, setting the stage for what we were about to see. His story continued with greater details as he walked us through the 5 separate sites and a Museum.
What impressed us most was his ability to read old Javanese inscriptions carved into stones with ease, like a true archaeologist, even when we pointed to random fragments with incomplete lines. By the end of the tours, we all agreed: Pak Agus belongs in a university lecture hall as much as he does on a tour.
Beyond Pak Agus, both tours were well organised, smooth, and genuinely educational. The food was good, and our driver, Pak Azil, was skilful and drove safely throughout. We highly recommend these tours.

Unforgettable trip - Trip was informative, very well organized and pleasant. My guide had great knowledge and shared it in the way that even for the person like me, who is not a history lover - it gave me a great incentive to Majapahit Kingdom history. Highly recommended to anyone who is visiting Surabaya!

Informative tour - Suhyono and our driver ( I apologize for not writing you name down!) were excellent. Yono is an excellent history teacher. The only drawback was the restaurant menu was in Indonesian and our interpretive app quit working. The guides do not eat with you and the wait staff spoke little to no English. But, the food was good.

The smallest and most personalized tour you’ll ever have - Our tour guide Suryono was amazing, and gave us a detailed tour through 5 ruins of the majapahit kingdom.
The tour itself was just me, a friend and our guide, plus the driver Andre who got us safely through Indonesian traffic.
The included lunch was at a nice hotel restaurant with a few local dishes.
Suryono also gave us a few tips on local restaurants on things to do.
Easily on the most intimate and personalized tours I’ve ever had

Beautiful day Trowulan - We had a lovely day in Trowulan.
The guide knew a lot about the history, Majapahit Empire. Transport with driver was fine.
As an extra we could experience Bantengang / Jaran kepang near the museum.
Very, very nice.
Lunch was well catered for and tasty.
