Fantastic 8D7N Tour!

After a splendid tour with LG (local-guides dot org) in Kalimantan, we decided to do the 8 Day Sumatra Tour with them, and it was just another dream come true! We were a bit unsure in the beginning because the price was so much lower than other tour agencies, but everything was super nicely organized! The only reason they are relatively affordable is because they work directly with the local guides, which I think is super great! This tour had everything, from trekking, to nature, to culture, to delicious meals, to relaxing and to meeting very nice people! We did not only do an unforgettable jungle trek in Bukit Lawang (super exciting to sleep in the jungle – and we never felt unsafe in any way!), a beautiful and easy volcano hike of mt Sibayak near Berastagi with a terrific view, visiting super fascination remote places such as the Sipiso Piso waterfall, Simarjunjung’s magnifient viewpoint, traditional villages, and then the so relaxing Lake Toba! I was in the beginning surprised why they didn’t offer tours to Tangkahan, because many other tour operators do, but they explained me that although it would be good business, the elephants are not treated well there and they do not want to actively support it (but they are not judgmental and still help you organise such tour for free if you want to visit it). In case you decide to visit Bukit Lawang or Berastagi or Lake Toba, I strongly recommend you to do the 8 Day or even 9 Day Sumatra Tour and just visit all these places with no stress! Thank you to the Local Guides team! This was such a beautiful and authentic experience! Quinn
