Guest Reviews
Travellers from Singapore and other visitors have enjoyed tours and experiences arranged by Bintan Travel Guide (BTG).
We visited the stunning Blue Lake and sand dunes, followed by a relaxing dinner at a local Indonesian food court, and ended the evening with a magical night-time mangrove fireflies tour. Special mention to the English-speaking driver-guide, Mr.Heri, assigned to us—he was extremely courteous, friendly, punctual, and genuinely helpful.
We had a organised car and a driver Budi who was very kind an helpful and drowe us first day to see Blue Lake and we also took a Mangrove Tour. On a second day he took us from our hotel and we visited 500 Lohan Temple and than he drove us to ferry terminal. Everything was just as I expected it.
