Pricing:

As a passionate expat who has lived in Indonesia for over 20 years, I love sharing my experiences and helping visitors discover the beauty of this country. Since I’m not an Indonesian citizen and don’t have a work visa, I can’t charge for my tour guide services. But don’t worry—that’s actually a great advantage! I enjoy making new friends and engaging in English conversations with our guests.

If you need a professional guide, I can connect you with someone from my network, and you only need to cover their service fees. All I ask is that you cover your own expenses during our tours. If you require a car and driver, I can also arrange that for you.

Let’s explore Indonesia together, make wonderful memories, and enjoy great conversations along the way!
