FAQs

1. Is 12 hours enough for Bandung?

Yes, it is the standard duration for a full-day tour. It allows you to visit one major highland area (North or South) and have time for shopping in the city.

2. What is the difference between the North (Lembang) and South (Ciwidey)?

Lembang is more developed with many themed parks and is closer to the city. Ciwidey is more natural, scenic, and rugged, but requires a longer drive.

3. Can the driver help us with currency exchange?

Yes, your driver can stop at a reputable money changer or ATM on the way to ensure you have local Rupiah for your shopping.

4. Is it cold in Bandung?

The city center is mild, but the highland areas (Lembang/Ciwidey) can be quite cool. We recommend bringing a light jacket or cardigan.

5. Are factory outlets open every day?

Yes, most factory outlets in Bandung are open 7 days a week, usually from 10:00 AM until 9:00 PM.

6. Can we request a specific restaurant for lunch?

Absolutely. This is a private tour, so you are free to choose your own dining spots, or you can ask your driver for a local recommendation.

7. What happens if the traffic is bad?

Bandung is known for traffic, especially on weekends. Your driver-guide is experienced in using "shortcut" routes to ensure you maximize your 12 hours.
