Namaste everyone! This is Fares, a tourist guide of Palembang; the capital city of South Sumatera Province, Indonesia.Aside from (regular) Premium Tour, I can likewise conveniently arrange Student-Style Tours (hostels, street-eats, and public transports) for the less budgeted yet more adventurous; kindly reach me to review your itinerary.CONSULTING IS ALWAYS FREE, even when you're planning to explore the city on your own. To help you manage your tour-related variables, I've compiled a list of must-knows in an article below; hopefully would be useful in one way or another.For any other need-to-knows please do not hesitate to reach me and get your answers for absolutely no charge:-).Of particular note in scheduling your tour, museums in the city are closed on Monday.Should you find it exciting to navigate downtown Palembang with a Dutch-Colonial-era map, my personal library provides a 1930-issue of it. And should you be having an extra day or two before departing, why not visit the few places even (some) locals aren't aware of, like remnants of Japanese occupation in Plaju District; the Long (crocodile) Graves of Talang Keramat, or home-industry villages (hand tools; knock-down wood-houses; silver jeweller) in Ogan Ilir region? Also in my scope of provisioning, is the arrangement for tours in other provinces neighboring Sumatera Selatan and other vicinities neighboring Palembang (among the other 3 cities and 13 regencies comprising the province), including Pagaralam City with its Dempo Mountain (reachable by 8 land-hours trip from Palembang --or a 40-minutes flight 3 times per week) and the globally-known Sembilang National Park in Banyuasin Regency (a peat-forested migration site for some Madagascar-based avians, and home to Sumateran tigers; reachable by 6 speedboat-hours from Palembang). For being an oft-tested English to Bahasa (vice versa) interpreter and translator, I can attend to your needs of communicating in Bahasa (Indonesia) anywhere in the country and beyond; kindly give me a call to check on my verbal English.However, my guiding service is currently confined to my hometown Palembang and its surrounding regions.Looking forward to arranging your most-impressive visit to South Sumatera:-).
