First of all, Riza was a great guide, and she made everything more enjoyable! Thanks again for everything! The trip started with some performances. They were amusing, but if course it is not what you would get in a theater or so. Still, I enjoyed it. (Not much that I also had to dance). Then we went to have a great lunch. I chose seafood, which was the right choice. We visited then a Mosche and a Buddhist temple. What I did not like was the next part, a forced marketing visit of a coffee shop and a cake shop. Instead of that, I would have saved time to visit the shopping center at the harbor to freely look for some Indonesian specialities. Finally, I had a 2h massage, which was the main reason for my trip.

A lot of fun. Nadia the tour guide was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed her participation with us.
This was a great way to see Indonesia on a solo trip. My tour guide Riza was fantastic, and I would do another trip with her if possible in the future. Thanks so much,
Where to begin!! What an amazing, unforgettable day we had in Batam all thanks to John and this tour! We booked this tour the night before from Singapore and everything went so smoothly. John, our guide, greeted us at the ferry port and took us on a once in a lifetime day through Batam. From the unforgettable cultural experience, to the amazing fresh seafood lunch, to all the beautiful sites we saw, to the delicious coffee we tasted and finally the wonderful massage!! I can’t say enough about this tour, i’d do it again and again! John made this tour so great , we felt safe, informed and treated like royalty. I had broke my sneakers and John went out of his way to help get me new sneakers!! It was one for the books, we have been smiling ear to ear since we have returned from Batam. Thank you John for welcoming us to your country and showing us an amazing day! We appreciate you!! Makasih!!
A full day immersion into Batam. We enjoyed the attention of the personal guide and driver and the engaging conversation. The lunch was amazing! Perhaps the best massage that I have ever had. Highly recommend this trip. Great value as well.
We really did not know what to expect. The travel was easy with good instructions sent to us before the trip. A very friendly and knowledgeable guide shared not only the tour highlights but also details about life in Batam and its origins. Thank you so much, we laughed and learned at the same time. I have no rhythm when it comes to traditional dance; that was clear.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Experience! Batam Culture & City Tour w/ Singapore Fast Ferry Tix, Massage & Lunch This tour was absolutely outstanding from start to finish! The Batam Culture and City Tour delivered the perfect blend of cultural discovery, relaxation, and amazing food. Everything—from the ferry arrangements to the guided stops—was smooth, organized, and stress-free. Our tour guide, Gunawan, was fantastic. He was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive, making the entire experience fun, engaging, and easy to enjoy. His explanations of Batam’s history and culture added so much depth to each stop. The massage included in the itinerary was wonderfully relaxing and professionally done—truly a highlight. And the fresh seafood lunch was exceptional: delicious, plentiful, and full of authentic local flavors. We were so impressed by the freshness and the generous portions. The tour pacing was perfect, with a great mix of cultural sights, photo spots, shopping, and downtime. Considering everything that’s included—fast ferry tickets, a skilled guide like Gunawan, a quality massage, and a huge seafood lunch—the value is unbeatable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable, well-organized, and enjoyable day trip from Singapore. A full 5-star experience!
It was wonderful, educational. Our tour guide was very accommodating and knowledgeable. I would take a tour from her any day.
An exciting full day of the highlights of Bali. I toured on a holiday weekend which wonderful to see. Agung, was friendly and knowledgable wiling to share the history of his culture with me. Nothing was too much bother for him.
Easy day trip from Singapore that was informative, relaxing and delicious! Tour guide provided easy, detailed instructions for our ferry ride from Singapore , getting through immigration, and meeting points. Our guide/driver/freelance photographer, Agus, met us at the port in Batam and was friendly, helpful and shared information about the island and its people. Memorable experiences include the stop at Saung Budaya Batam where we were greeted by lively music and beautiful dancing. It was fun playing the angklung as a group and making music! The seafood lunch, right on the water with a view of the Barelang Bridge was delicious and filling - shellfish, shrimp, crab, fish, sautéed greens, rice, fruit, and coconut juice. Last but not least was the 90 minute massage! Just what our bodies needed! Would have loved to see an option for 120 minutes or a half day tour for pampering but still happy at the end. Overall, highly recommend if you have the time and have a desire to see even a small part of Indonesia. Note, this tour starts in early morning and you return closer to 9pm - so might be a long day.
Gunawan was an amazing guide and was very acomidating. The cultural experience was wonderful and showed a glimpse of what Batam history was like.
A fantastic day seeing the highlights of BATAM. The seafood lunch was amazing. Special thanks to Agus our guide who was friendly, helpful and professional throughout the trip. Highly recommend.
Our driver was amazinggggg and honestly so nice and knowledgeable about Batam. We enjoyed every stop. The driver took amazing pictures of us and even stopped at extra places not listed on the booking just so we could be happy. The food included is top tier! We haven’t been able to find another place like it. I would book this tour again.
We had a delightful day roaming around Batam with our guide Riza. She was humorous, gracious and informative! She became a friend to us very quickly! The tour started out at the beach resort viewing an enormous Buddha, followed by a performance of a local group of musicians, dancers and singers at a locally owned stage/venue. We enjoyed a fresh seafood lunch by the river, tours of mosques and Buddhist temples and the day ended with a restorative massage! It was a long day but we felt we saw so much! The people are kind and inviting. Batam is a more tropical island with light infrastructure, so one sees lots of motorcycles, small homes and light industry everywhere. We suggest this trip for lively, international travelers who don’t need pristine moments but more adventure seeing the world!
We had a wonderful day in Batam Indonesia led by the beautiful tour guide Riza. The day was full of relaxation, laughters, and entertainment. We learned to play traditional instrument and danced with joyful Indonesians. We visited famous Luwak coffee and layered cake shops, the fantasy pink beach etc. The lunch was tasteful and the massage was rejunveating and relaxing. The company management is very flexible with our schedule and group change and was able to handle urgent situation fast and effectively. I highly recommend the comany and our tour guide Riza. Thank you Riza!!!
Wonderful day. Comfortable car. Good conversation. Lots of delicious food! Come hungry, skip breakfast! Super relaxed after my massage.
I am at a loss for words to describe how amazing my day with Aulia was! I had such an amazing time touring and learning about Batam and Indonesia. Aulia was amazing to talk to and was great at touring me around! I had a few special requests and they were accommodated so well. I have lifelong cherished memories from this tour. Not to mention the crab at lunch was the best crab I have ever eaten in my life!! This is a perfect day trip from Singapore for those looking to see and experience a new country or city!
Excellent tour with a delightful guide. Nothing was too much for her. Despite the rain we had a great time.
Batman was an amazing experience. Got to see so many sites. The lunch was so tasty. The spa was much needed after all the walking I had done days before. I felt so relaxed on my ferry hope. My tour guide was so knowledgeable and sweet.
