5.00We had the most amazing time exploring West Sumatra with Rezi and Febry! From the cultural heart of Bukittinggi to the stunning Harau Valley and the idyllic islands off Padang, every day was filled with authentic food, breathtaking scenery, and the warmest hospitality. Rezi and Febry were an absolute dream team — friendly, attentive, and always going the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and having fun. Thanks to them, our holiday was not just relaxing, but also rich in local insights and unforgettable experiences. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to discover the real West Sumatra

5.00We had the great pleasure of exploring West Sumatra with Rezi. It was truly an unforgettable experience. He took us to places we would never have found on our own – small local villages, hidden viewpoints, and authentic cultural spots. Thanks to him, we tried traditional dishes and regional products that left a lasting impression. He was not only a knowledgeable guide but also a wonderful host – patient, open, and full of stories about the history, culture, and everyday life of the locals. You could really feel his passion and dedication in everything he did. Traveling with him allowed us to see Sumatra not just through the eyes of tourists but in a more authentic and colorful way. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to discover the real spirit of this island!

5.00We crossed part of Sumatra with Rezi and it was an exceptional trip. Careful driver, comfortable driving, and above all wonderful encounters: kind, welcoming, passionate about their country and its customs. Their humor, their kindness, their impeccable English and their curiosity about French culture (and all cultures) captivated us. We, who usually travel alone, loved sharing these moments, both fun and enriching. More than just a simple trip, it was a precious cultural and human immersion. Rezi driver Allan is generous, endearing, and to recommend without hesitation. Thank you for this wonderful experience!
Family trip to West Sumatra ❤️
