Reviews of Small Group tours to Indonesia
- Tailor-Made Indonesia Highlights Trip, No Group & Daily Depart
Was great, great guides, lots of great sites, everyone seemed to work together to make this a great experience for us.
- Wanderlands Gili&Lombok - 7 Days
The trip was amazing, all the accomodation was much better than I expected and activities were great with just the right balance between fun and cultural. Stacia was an amazing leader and although I came into the tour later on made me feel comfortable right from the start and her guidance and knowledge throughout the trip was amazing. I would definitely recommend this trip and the company Wonderlands.
- Amazing Bali 10 Days - Ubud/ Yogyakarta/ Seminyak
We were pleased with the accommodations, meals, and day-tour activities. Our tour guide, Sandra, did a great job of keeping our schedule balanced and on course. Great to know PrestiGo Asia and will choose them again!
What our customers ask about Indonesia Small Group Tours
What is the optimal group size for exploring Indonesia's cultural sites and natural wonders?
Groups of 8-12 travelers provide the best balance when exploring Indonesia. This size works particularly well at places like Borobudur Temple or villages in Ubud where visitors can engage meaningfully with local culture. Boutique properties such as the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel accommodate these smaller numbers comfortably offering a more personal atmosphere than large resorts. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned "Having a small group made the experience much more personal and allowed us to really connect with local communities and our guide."
What is the average cost difference between small and large group tours in Indonesia?
Small group tours cost about 20-30% more than large group options with daily rates from $150-400 compared to $100-250 for larger tours. The higher price includes closer attention from guides stays at boutique properties like the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel and more focused experiences. According to a TourRadar traveler: "The slightly higher cost was absolutely worth it for the intimate experiences and personal attention we received throughout the journey."
What unique accommodations are available for small group tours in Indonesia?
Small group tours access a range of distinctive places to stay throughout Indonesia. Travelers might find themselves in the luxury villas of Kamandalu Ubud one night and experience village life through homestays in places like Ngadas the next. A TourRadar traveler noted "The homestay experience in Ngadas village was incredible - something that wouldn't be possible with a large group and really helped us understand local life."
How do small group tours handle transportation between Indonesian islands?
Transportation for small groups moves smoothly with private vans boats and ferries sized just right for intimate groups. Between Bali and Lombok groups take private speedboats instead of crowded public ferries. Reviews often mention "Having a dedicated minibus for our small group made island-hopping so much smoother especially when visiting remote spots like Nusa Penida's Diamond Beach."
How does dining work on small group tours in Indonesia?
Small groups enjoy access to local warungs and family restaurants that larger tours must skip. In Ubud groups often share meals in local homes getting closer to authentic Indonesian cooking. A TourRadar traveler noted: "We could eat at authentic local spots like the Gianyar Night Market rather than tourist restaurants which really enhanced the cultural experience."
