Great day with Moon in Semarang - Moon was a fantastic guide for the day. The trip was fun and educational. I think the highlight of the day was when he took us to an antique shop. We all had fun exploring. We also enjoyed the Chinese temple we visited and even got to see a dance with dragons. Moon also sent us a lovely video of our day when we were done. He was so nice. It was a wonderful day!

Semarang private city tour - I booked a city tour in Semarang. Nane, the guide was a very knowledgeable, friendly and fun person. She asked about my preferences and she takes my wishes into account gracefully during the whole tour. No problem at all, if I wanted to stop somewhere during the tour to try something out. Nane also gave lots of valuable info about the local food, culture and the eateries in the neighborhood. As I like to try local snacks, she did her utmost to buy me all sorts of local snacks and delicacies. Thank you, Nane! I highly recommend Nane as your semarang city tour guide.

Exploring and had a fabulous time - Had 2 amazing excursions (Semarang and Surabaya Indonesia) with Olivia as our guide and Harry as our driver. Harry was the perfect driver and Olivia was very knowledgeable with both ports. She took lots of pictures of us and shared them us. Also experienced some delicious food that we would not have on our own. She was the perfect host
