Discover Manado - North Sulawesi and its beyond with Explore-Sulawesi Travel Agency in Manado

Having returned safely from our trip of North Sulawesi and Bali, allow me please to give you the comments of my friends and myself to the trip organised by
Explore-Sulawesi Travel, in the period between 14th and 23th of August 2008

Being met by you and your staff was very satisfactory to us, as we from that moment on felt safe in the very capable hands of your company. Your help with practical matters, such as changing money, was of great use to us.

Our overall impression of the stay in Sulawesi, including practical arrangements such as plane tickets in Sulawesi and to Bali, is that we
were in the hands of highly professional and experienced people, and allow me again to mention
our highest satisfaction with Yafet ( Your Tour Guide ),who deserves our best recommendations.

Kind Regards,
