Experiences shared by travelers who booked with Bintan Travel Guide (BTG).
The itinerary planned by Sigit was flawless even though it was requested less than 24hours. I had a great time with the ATV, mangrove boat ride and fireflies experience were awesome! The equipments used were well maintained and clean.
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
