5 days 4 night tour of Medan, Lake Toba and Berastagi. Air fare by Jetstar Valueair, S$170. Tour inclusive of meals, transport, 4 stars hotel and sightseeing tickets is S$400. Total S$570 for 5 days 4 nights. Food and shopping is cheap with branded imitation products. Durian of good quality for only !0,000 rp which is S$1.30.I recommend our guide and driver who can speak some english to contact if you wish to tour here. His name is Syamsuar. HP: 0852 75817148. Email: syamt83@yahoo.com. In Medan we stayed at the Grand Delta Hotel, a supposedly 4 star hotel but when I asked for a spare key to the room they refuse to give. Samosir Villa at Samosir island is a beautiful 4 star hotel but I prefer Tabo Cottages run by a german woman with a cottage like environment, both facing the lake of course.Tabo cottage contact is Tuktuk 22395 Samosir Island, Lake Toba. North Sumatra, Indonesia.
Their Luwak coffee is beautiful. PH: +62 625 451 318. Email: info@tabocottages.com. Website: eee.tabocottages.com.Room rate 350000 rp. In Berastagi the hotel to stay in is Sinabung Hills. Phone: 061 4515112. Email: reserve@sinabunghills.com. Website: www.sinabunghills.com. Be prepared to stay in the car a fair bit and the tour is generally driving from one destination to the other.

Revisited Medan Indonesia Sumatra the second time on 21 Feb. 2014. Directly contact our previous driver Syam (his contact is above) and he gave us a very good price for the 8 of us for this 4 days 3 nights trip with 4 star hotels (all great hotels)but no food except brekfast for S$200 excluding air fare.The food which we paid ourselves were fabulous mainly local Sumatran fare for an average cost of S$8 person for a spread like 2 ikan bakar (guremi) goreng ayam, sambal kangkong,sayur lodeh, ayam curry,udang petai, terong. All in including air fare and food our cost per pax was around S$430. And the durians, everywhere at S$2 for a very good one. Yup great trip. Have to thank Syam for doing such a good job. The transport was good too.
So if you wish to use Syam the contact is above. we gave him a very good tip package.
