Testimonials
What our
travellers say
"I spent fifteen days traveling between North and West Sumatra. Fred was great, very flexible. My favorite memory is the orangutans in Bukit Lawang — right in the middle of the rainy season! We got completely wet. These are memories I will never forget."
"3 weeks starting in the North, then the West, finishing in the Mentawai Islands with the flower people. Sylvie didn't dare get a Mentawai tattoo at the time, now she regrets it! A huge thank you to Fred for his kindness and professionalism."
"6 days travelling by minibus with a group of 6 people. We went to my mother's home country. It was really important to me because I am French and Indonesian. The trip was well planned from the beginning to the end. Not a single regret."
"A trip for two through West Sumatra and the Mentawai Islands, with Fred by our side. This remains one of our best trips ever."
