A well spent half day tours - Did a search on google and found Bintan Travel Guide. They responded fast even at 12 midnight. Good job to Sigit for your assistance on my queries.
Our... read more driver - Fahri did a good job bringing us to our attractions and even follow us to the Blue Lake and help us as a photographer for our family. He even suggests to bring us to the Batik house for my children to learn how to do a Batik painting and also a seafood restaurant.
The half day tours were well spent. Will definitely look for Bintan Travel Guide when I'm back to Bintan again. Thank you so much.

Relaxing Trip with Friendly Service - Overall, we had a good stay in Bintan. The driver/tour guide was very hospitable, friendly, and always on time. The hotel staff were also nice and accommodating. Unfortunately, we couldn’t... read more experience water activities because it was monsoon season and the beach conditions were not ideal. However, the resort itself offers many activities, so we were still able to enjoy and relax during our stay.

Blue Lakes, Mangrove Kayaking, Fireflies Tour - My friend and I had a wonderful time exploring Bintan with our guide, Dani. Our trip was completely custom-made thanks to quick and easy communication with Sigit via Whatsapp. Even... read more though we planned our trip just days before, Sigit always responded promptly and professionally. Sigit gave us extremely detailed instructions to navigate speedboat travel from Batam to Bintan, and we had a smooth time finding Dani at the busy port. Dani took us to the Blue Lake, which was stunning, and lunch at a local seafood restaurant. We got to kayak through mangroves with Ade from Treasure Island, who was a pleasure to chat with. Our tour included day passes to Treasure Island, so there was time to enjoy their pool! Lastly, we did the nighttime fireflies tour, which was absolutely beautiful. We had quite a long day, and Dani was kind enough to drive us to pick up some dinner before dropping us off at our hotel. Dani is such a great tour guide; his driving was smooth, and we learned so much about Bintan from him. He was happy to answer all of our questions thoroughly! I am so thankful that BTG was such a great company to work with for my first time planning a trip!

Everything was handled so efficiently that we felt assured right from the start.
During our short trip, I was kept well-updated. Budi, our friendly driver-cum-guide, was just as wonderful. He texted us ahead of time about our meeting point, picked us up punctually, and made us feel completely at ease with his light-hearted conversations. His warm personality and accommodating nature truly made the journey enjoyable.
He also took the effort to bring us to nearby supermarkets and made convenient stops at a kelong restaurant so we could enjoy our meals without any rush. The service throughout was prompt, thoughtful and genuinely customer-focused.
I am truly glad I found this travel centre online. I will confidently recommend their services to my friends.
Please continue your excellent work—your efficiency, patience, and dedication in handling all queries really make a difference.
