Testimonials ____________________________________________________________ Just returned from a two-day jungle trek out of Bukit Lawang with Thomas Jungle Tours. You will have read the other reviews about what an amazing experience is, and I can back that up 100%. The viewing of the wild orang-utans and other wildlife was something I will never forget and the tubing back to the village afterwards was great fun and hugely recommended if you do not mind getting very, very wet! If you are planning such a trek, I strongly suggest you book direct with Thomas. If you do this, you will guarantee you get a guide who genuinely is very experienced and knowledgeable, speaks much better English than most guides (a real problem with some) and really has the experience to know what makes a good tour. If you book through an agent there, you get a guide selected at random, and from what we saw I can almost guarantee that your experience will be less than if you book with Thomas. It's a fixed price, so you will almost certainly be getting much, much better value for money with Thomas. Hi Thomas, Am just droppin' in to say thank you for accommodating me and my family on our trip the other day. During those short 3 hours trip of jungle trekking, your well extensive knowledge of the forest has been very informative and your attentive assistance made it a fun and great experience for all of us. Especiall...y considering my family members are first timers trekkers and aged between 60 – 70 years old, I truly appreciate that you managed to get each one of them back safe and soundly in one piece. Lol. Cyntha Christina, May 2011 ____________________________________________________________ Choose your guide carefully and if possible arrange before your arrival to avoid big headache of choosing the wrong one or so. Thomas was my guide when I was doing the trekking there. He is very informative about the flora and cool with orang utan. He is also very helpful to us. Wombat - February 2011 ____________________________________________________________ Hi Everyone, Pamela, September 2010 ____________________________________________________________ Thomas is the best guide you can get in Bukit Lawang. See the Orang Oetans in their natural habitat, explore and experience the jungle and have fun with Thomas. He is the most experienced guide in Bukit Lawang, he is very careful for the nature and he is hilarious. We did a 2 day trek and it was incredible. As a thank you to Thomas I made a short testimonial [see above]. So, if you're visitting Bukit Lawang: GO WITH THOMAS! How? Ircere, June 2010 ________________________________________________________________ We also went with Thomas and he really is the best guide you can wish. He made our trekking to a wonderful journey and he knows all kinds of awesome games! This guy is serious about nature and preserving it, but also hilarious.. Keep up the good work Thomas!! cinemaasfilm, June 2010 ________________________________________________________________ I had a great time in the tropical forest not only because of the orang utangs and the beautiful nature, but also because of my wonderful guide Thomas. He was really great, knew a lot about the forest, told us a lot about the forest (like the rubber trees, the animals and the plants), was interested in us as a person and most important he had a good sense of humor!!! If i would return to the tropical forest i would like to have Thomas as my guide again! And if i have to recommend any good vacation spot i would say: Go to Bukit Lawang and ask Thomas to guide you! Success, fun and a new friend guaranteed!!! Thank you Thomas i really enjoyed my stay! August 2009 ________________________________________________________ Our group of four had an amazing two-day trek with Thomas. We saw two orang-utans, gibbons and a big snake (not as scary as it sounds!). We were really well looked after and the food was great. Thomas and his crew were informative, organised and entertaining. I would highly recommend this trek. Please feel free to email me if you want to find out more.Catherine Such, UK May 2008 ________________________________________________________________ I've recently returned from a trip to Singapore, Malaysia and Sumatra. The highlight of my trip has to be Bukit Lawang in Northern Sumatra. We embarked on a 2 day jungle trek in search of Wildlife paricularly orangutans. I was not disappointed as I had many close up experiences with them and other wildlife. I beleive what made the trek a success was Thomas the guide who was well informed, funny and spoke excellant english. The trek itself was physically demanding and as I have a knee problem and am not in the throws of youth, he kept it at a pace I could manage, helped carry my bag/ camera and literally helped me up and down some particularly tricky bits. In addition to this he and his helpers produced some of best food I had during my entire trip which was amazing as it was cooked over a camp fire in the jungle. If would strongly recommend him as a guide. Sian William -March 2008 ________________________________________________________________ Thomas was full of interesting knowledge about all aspects of the jungle and most importantly made the trek fun! Sarah and Andrew, UK February 2008 ________________________________________________________________ It was truly a pleasure trekking with Thomas and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. He was friendly, helpful, respectful towards his guests and towards the jungle, entertaining and thoroughly competent. Gisela, South Africa November 2007 ________________________________________________________________ Thomas is probably one of the most down-to-earth guides in Bukit Lawang and knows his stuff!
