Unforgettable Family Trip
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 so patient with the kids in the jungle. I had never the feeling that they pushed us to walk faster to reach the camp on time. Instead, they just took them time to teach my kids how to hunt with sticks and explained all the mysterious jungle sounds that my kids were impressed by.
The local guides concept works quite well for us. I do not have the ability or time to pick out the extraordinary guides against good prices out of this immensely big pool of guides, and this is exactly what they say that they do, and I can only conclude based on my 2 experiences with Local Guides that they have even overdelivered. This takes a lot of hassle away when preparing your trip. Sal has been also a terrific problem-solver when we encountered some issues during the preparation phase.
