This tour should just be marketed as -shopping, lunch, shopping, massage- that is all it is. The company ran 2 overlapping tours, which left a part of the group alone while the other part had their activity - mainly shopping. Stop 1- shopping at outlet, mini house visit Stop 2- more shopping Stop 3 - bridge (nice view) Stop 4- lunch (very nice) Stop 5- coffee tour that was basically a “used car salesman, rapid fire” pitch to buy coffee Stop 6 - temple visit (horrible!!) Stop 7 - massage (and shopping for those who weren’t getting a massage) Notes - there is a LOT of driving. Tour guide should offer cultural points along the way. Driving in silence is not fun. Temple was the worst. I have been to several and the lack of respect for others while worshiping and the cult like presentation- horrible! So, if you like shopping and a good massage, tour is for you. Otherwise just a very long day
Its worth if you have to spare one whole day dedicated for this. the place is good to know the flavor of mixed indonesia-singapore culture. However the food and massage are worth i feel. the places to visit in the itinerary are not so great including the bridge. still if you have time, you can have a look.
We received advance notice about what to expect once we arrived in Batam. We had a wonderful guide standing with a sign to welcome us. She did a WONDERFUL job of taking us place to place. Great overview of the area.
