Experience Half-day tours in the best of
Surabaya with Withlocals

"Vonny was a wonderful guide. We did the 10 tastes tour but Vonny also shared some history, Indonesian culture and even helped me find a barber and get a shave! But food is clearly her passion and we explored local markets, bought meals to try and Vonny showed us how to eat like locals. "

"We enjoyed a great day with Vonny, split over 2 sessions, including visiting the key sites of Surabaya and an evening sampling food. Vonny was a super host and we hope to use her services again on our next visit to Java."

"Vonny was able to take us to main sights if central Surabaya. She was very infirmative and gave us a good picture of colonial Indonesia and its fight for independance. We really appreciated the car to take us around and had a lovely day in good company. The snacks were great and it was nice to eat like a local. Thanks Vonny."

"We had a very lovely afternoon with Vonny, with incredible food (we had the best doughnuts ever) and conversation. Vonny took us to explore some different areas in Surabaya and also to a local Supermarkt. Thank you so much again Vonny for a very nice time together 🩷🙏"

"Vonny spent the whole afternoon with us. First we went shopping for ingredients, then we cooked together. Afterwards we got a coffee tasting. We noticed we would still need to buy some coffee and souvenirs so she went with us to get the coffee and souvenirs shopping, followed by some ice cream at the oldest ice cream place in Surabaya. Instead of the three hours mentioned in the app, she spent 8 hours with us. Absolute 10/10 experience, no notes. Highly recommend."

"Had a wonderful experience with Vonny! She was kind and enthusiastic. Not only did she talk about the local food and took us to a few hidden gems, she also had great knowledge the history of the areas of which we were in. Thank you so much, Vonny! "

"I had such an amazing time cooking with Vonny. She taught me not only traditional cooking techniques, but the process and reasoning behind them all. I can't wait till I can return home and make it there! Highly recommend :)"

"The beginning of our trip in Ubud and Gili was far from satisfying, added to that our Ijen trip cancellation due to seismic activity, thank God for these happenstances we stumbled upon the most talented Vonny, with her deep knowledge of Surabayan culture, cuisine and history we had a beautiful time discussing Javanese food, language and the past in the Pasar where she took us grocery shopping while sipping Kopi Tubruk, followed by cooking with the most polite and nicest Warung friends - the Warung chef and his olek-olek grinding skills put food processors to shame. Our tummies were full of delicious food and hearts full of joy, promising to visit her again very soon on our next Indonesia trip. "

"In the morning I wanted to book a tour for the same day in the afternoon. I was very pleased this was possible, even when so last minute. It was a mix of city and food which I loved!"

"Vonny is a wonderful guide, knowing well her country and her city. She shares with passion the beauties of Surabaya including the food and the coffee. The coffee shop where she took us is an historical place. We warmly recommend Vonny"
