Have booked the excellent guide Budi for a few days with my mother and my fiance and was more than satisfied what our guide Budi shows us.
He is very professional and knows so much about the torajan history, which he explains in an good english very enthusiastic (he loves his job, the nature and people.)
Because of him, we could join an ceremony and felt integrated, as he knew everybody and could...
We had a 2N/3D houseboattour and this was the absolute highlight of our holiday in Indonesia!
The pick up from the airport was as perfectly organised as the rest of our trip from our friendly manager Nur.
The whole crew and our guide Johannes solicitous accomponied us, that we felt absolutely relaxed on that trip. The food was delicious and in fact, all of our needs got satisfied.
Our Guide...
Deze tour geboekt, van te voren geen informatie ingewonnen, achteraf helemaal niet nodig! Super tour! Geweldige gids die alles wist en alle animals wist te vinden, ook veel informatie over de planten. Eten was ook super. Al met al een prachtige ervaring met deze geweldige organisatie.
Amazing tour with these fantastic tour operator. The guides were very friendly and knew everything about the animals,...
If you want to go on a wildlife tour you never will forget, then take a trip with Local Guide, deep into the jungle!
We did a 4 days / 3 nights trek inside Gunung Leuser Nationalpark, mainly to see the Orangutang. But, wauw, we got so much more!
Ofc. Wildlife is never something you can expect, only something you can hope to see on your way, but if you pick Local Guide you can be sure that they...
Boeken ging heel gemakkelijk. Aanbetaling per paypal. Rest contant er plekke (begin dus tijdig met het pinnen van de max. hoeveelheden die je mag). Communicatie was prima. Alle vragen werden snel en duidelijk beantwoord. Bij aankomst wordt je opgehaald door iemand van Local Guides en bij vertrek ook weer weggebracht (handig!).
De boot (One Piece) was prima (met een western toilet en douche. dit...
Ich habe dort leider nur den 2 Tag und 1 Nacht Trek gemacht, das war viel zu kurz.
Edi und seine Mitarbeiter sind alle sehr nett und freundlich. Das ganze Dorf ist es.
Es wurde sich einfach um Alles gekümmert und sämtliche Sorgen wurden einen genommen. Die Guides sind sehr bemüht und auch lustig. Man merkt richtig dass es ihnen mega Spaß macht den Menschen ihre "Heimat" zu zeigen.

We booked a 4D/3N tour quite late into our planning as we had to move our plans following the earthquakes in Indonesia. Both the staff at Local-Guides and our assigned guide Nur were incredibly helpful before the trip began and provided lots of information to us.
We stayed a night in Pangkalanbun before we set off on the tour. Nur and our actual guide Chris met us at the hotel on time and took us...
The tour was wonderful and well organised by our guide Nur.
The residence is a boat known as a klotok. It’s basic sleeping and washing, which is fit for purpose, and makes you feel a lot closer to the jungle. We loved every minute.
The food and drinks on board are excellent. The walks though the jungle even better.
We saw several orang-utans on each day, including a close up (it touched my...
We had very high expectations of our Tanjung Puting tour, and it still exceeded our expectations! While cruising along the river sekonyer using klotok, we saw many bekantan and birds. The first feeding place there were some orangutans in tanjung harapan station, and then we set out again down the river and staying near the jungle lodge, a delicious diner completed the fascinating day! We slept under...
I contacted Sal well before my holiday started, and since the beginning he has been nothing but great, thoughtful and creative to find the best solution for my trip that me and my family wanted. The 3 days tour on a boat in the Borneo jungle have turned out to be the best memories of our holiday in Indonesia!
Living on a boat for 3 days, seeing a lot of Orangutan and funny looking proboscis monkeys,...
Me and my family visited mount Sibayak with the North Sumatran Local Guides team (local-guides dot org) as part of our 9D8N Sumatra tour. It was TRUELY AWESOME! The volcano hike was probably the most memorable experience I've had in my trip to Sumatra. The guys are really fun and easy-going and provide interesting details about the area and show places you wouldn't find without a local. Usually I like...
Because me and my family (partner + 2 kids) did such a wonderful tour with Local-Guides in Tanjung Puting National Park (Kalimantan), it was a no-brainer for us to also do our Bukit Lawang trekking with them. They blew us away yet again!
They picked us up in a private car from the airport in Medan, and brought us to a cute accommodation we booked with them. It was very thankful that our guides were...
I am a very low-budget backpacker and therefore I traveled through Tana Toraja for 2 days without a guide. However, I got the feeling that I was only visiting tourist places while my impression was that there was so much that the area offered which is why I decided to contact local guides.
And I don't regret it for a bit! Wow, they really brought me to incredible places I would never have found...
Wir hatten im voraus die Tour über die Webseite von Local Guides gebucht und unsere Erwartungen wurden mehr als übertroffen. Es war einmalig!
Wir wurden von unserem Hotel pünktlich abgeholt und zum Boot gebracht. Alles war sehr gut organisiert. Unser Guide Joe Bowo - ein ehemaliger Ranger des Tanjung Puting National Park (siehe auch den Spiegel-Artikel "Orang-Utans auf Borneo - Mensch trifft Waldmensch")...
Met veel plezier hebben we deze jungle trekking gedaan. Adhi was onze gids en heeft ons overal veilig doorheen geloodst. Eerste dag was even wennen, voornamelijk aan het yoga matje om op te slapen..
Ontzettend genoten van de mooie plekken die er te vinden zijn in de jungle. Ook af en toe doorbijten met de vele heuvels en bergen op en neer. Er werd rekening mee gehouden en genoeg pauze ingelast....
We had an amazing time. Our guide, Adhi, met us the evening before at our guest house (Sam's bungalow) and went through the plan for the next couple of days and everything we'd need to bring. He then met us again after breakfast the next morning. He organised for our bags to be stored whilst we were trekking and off we went.
We saw loads of orangutans and other wildlife during our trek, we had our...
What an amazing time I had! I booked 3 nights and just had the most amazing time. So peaceful and feeling at one with nature. My guide Darmin was fantastic and everything you'd want from a guide. (I am actually a tour guide myself!!!) I felt so lucky to see so many orangutans. The feeding stations were super organised by the rangers so I didn't feel like it was interfering with nature. The organisation...
This tour was an amazing surprise. Everything was well organised. We booked with the help of local guides and had Nur has guide.
The klokok is really nice and peaceful. You sleep in the jungle with these amazing sounds of the animals and the nature.
In october there were not so many people so it was quite nice ans of course seeing the orangoutans is something to do.
The food on the boat was...
This tour was absolutely fantastic, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience to see orangutans in the wild. Our guide, Nur, went above and beyond to make sure that all our needs/wants were taken care of, and was enthusiastic to explain all about the wildlife and conservation challenges they face. The 5 days/4 nights was a perfect amount of time to get in a ton of orangutan sightings and experience...
We did a 3 days/2 nights trek with our guide Randy. He was so helpful, was constantly looking for animals and told us everything about the flora and fauna. Also, he was really considerate about if we could keep up. We saw many different animals and beautiful nature. The camps were also really nice, the food is so good (and so much) and the atmosphere is great - all guides and cooks are really nice....
