As a tour guide, I have a good mix of expertise and interpersonal skills when it comes
to interacting with tourists. I research the Indonesian culture, traditions, and attractions
of the interesting location you want to visit. With these steps, I can improve my skills
as a tour guide and allow my passengers to experience an unforgettable journey.
I had the incredible luck of taking a tour with Aoux Swantoro in Sumatra, and it was an unforgettable
experience!
The breathtaking nature and friendly people left a lasting impression on me.
The trekking tour through the
jungle to the Sibayak volcano was a physical challenge,
but the view from the summit made it all worth it.
Swimming in Lake Toba and visiting
traditional villages were also highlights of the trip. The local guides were undeniable
knowledgeable and told us a lot about the culture and history of the region. The
accommodations were simple but clean,
and the food was delicious. Overall, I can only recommend this trip and hope
to return to Sumatra soon!
"I had an unforgettable time on my tour through Java. The culture and natural beauty of the
island fascinated me.
I was particularly impressed by the Borobudur temple and the Bromo volcano.
And the experience we had in Java
was clearly enchanting. Aoux expertly guided us through the
Meru Betiri nature reserve in East Java as well. The people
were very friendly and helpful,
and I always felt safe. Although it was sometimes difficult to communicate with the locals
due to the language barrier, I still had many interesting conversations. Overall, I would
recommend Java to any traveler as it offers a unique and unforgettable experience.
I will definitely recommend my colleague Aoux Swantoro as a tour guide."
I had the incredible pleasure of taking a tour of Bali and I am completely thrilled! The island has
so much
to offer, from breathtaking landscapes to a fascinating culture to delicious cuisine. I was
particularly impressed
by the picturesque rice terraces and traditional temples that can be found
everywhere on the island. The locals were
incredibly friendly and welcomed me warmly. The
accommodations were comfortable and the travel itinerary was
very well thought out.
All in all, it was an unforgettable experience and I can't wait to return. Bali has won my
heart!
