What To Expect
Surabaya
Experience the charm of Surabaya's historic old town, where magnificent European colonial architecture tells the story of a bygone era.

Beyond the European quarter, you will also explore the vibrant Chinese and Arab quarters. No visit to Surabaya is complete without tasting its legendary local cuisine. You will get to savor authentic dishes that cannot be found elsewhere, such as: Tahu Campur – A flavorful mix of tofu, vegetables, and meat in a savory broth. Rawon – A rich black beef soup, once crowned the most delicious soup in Asia. Lontong Balap – A hearty dish of rice cakes, bean sprouts, tofu, and lentho (black-eyed pea fritters), served with a light, savory broth.

5.00We had an amazing time with Barly! He was fantastic at guiding us around and teaching us about local heroes, delicious snacks, and Surabaya’s culture. He even made sure we finished the outdoor activities before the rain started, which we really appreciated. The tour was not only about food, but also combined history and culture in a really interesting way. Definitely recommend this tour! 👍

5.00It was a really interesting experience seeing a different side of Surabaya. Our guide, Erwin, was super easygoing and made the whole tour feel relaxed and casual. The tour felt slightly shorter than expected, possibly because some places were closed or maybe because our small group moved faster than usual. I’d love to try this tour again on a normal weekday instead of a long weekend to compare the experience :)
