I found out about Bayu's services soon after arriving in Padang in August 2024. Having always wanting to visit Siberut Island (but not prebooking it in advance), Bayu was really helpful and supportive.
★★★★★
Had an excellent tour of West Sumatra for our honeymoon with Bayu at short notice and within a very short time frame at a very reasonable price. 5/5 Fully recommend!
★★★★★
Favourite homestay and favourite people in all of Sumatra.
