A memorable short escape from Singapore. The whole tour was well managed and arranged, the perfect combo of relaxing massages and delicious Indonesian seafood dishes in a day.

Indonesia was a refreshing change from the skyscrapers of Singapore, I particularly loved the 2-hr massage, the masseurs were professional. Excellent seafood lunch, the steamed fish was very fresh. Thank you for the side trip to the beautiful temple. I will recommend this tour to others.

The driver was friendly and spoke fluent English. I experienced a nice massage time and good lunch of local food. One point to be improved is that travel time is limited; I took lunch within 35 minutes due to the departure time of the ferry. Although the driver suggested to change the time of the return trip of the ferry, my journey schedule was not flexible at that day, I could not extend the stay in Batam. Considering my experience, I think the duration of massage may be better to be bit shorter.

The driver didn’t speak any English at all and we used google translate to communicate. It took me ten minutes to find him as he wasn’t standing there with a sign. He took me to a dirty marketplace to take a picture of the Welcome to Batam sign. That was worthless. The layer cake promised was only a sample and it was disgusting. Massage was just ok, but the place was dirty. I opted to just skip the meal altogether because I was just ready to leave there. I can’t believe what I paid for this stupid trip.

Overall a good experience.
Great massage and nice lunch but that’s all we saw of Batam
We were told our driver would be waiting at ferry terminal in Batam but he was no where to be seen. After waiting for 20 mins I asked the information desk to call the travel agent and then the driver suddenly appeared. Nice man but very poor English so communication was sketchy.
We didn’t get to go to the Monument and when we arrived at the cake shop there was nothing to taste
For the price we paid felt a little ripped off
I realise this was express trip but overpriced

It was a great trip. The driver was right at the exit for the ferry with a sign with my name. It was a quick trip with the meal and massage taking up most of the time. After lunch, the driver took me around quickly to show me the highlights of Batam. It was a short trip, but I felt like I got the highlights.
