With one weeks short notice me and my girlfriend planned our eight days in Flores with Flores Exotic Tours. You can sum the whole trip up in one word: amazing! We got to see everything from the beautiful islands in Komodo National Park to the most amazing sceneries in Flores inland. Mr Vitalis and our driver Patris proved to be a real dreamteam. Vitalis provided us with interesting information and knowledge throughout the trip while Patris drove us smoothly from start to finish. During the eight days we spent in Flores we learned to drink sirsak juice, practiced our Bahasa Indonesia and experienced everything Flores has to offer with the help of professional and friendly guides. Five of five stars and our best recommendations. / Martin & Charlotte

We engaged Flores Exotic Tours for a 6D5N tour of Flores Islands from 11-16 May 2015. The tour was well planned out and we had an excellent guide in Maxi Kamil who was very flexible in the program. He was also very punctual at all times. Maxi shared with us his excellent knowledge about the flores people and culture and we were amazed at the sights and beauty which Flores had to offer. It is also worth mentioning that our driver, Freddie, is an adroit driver who navigated the challenging road terrains safely. His warmth and hospitality was evident in that he invited us to visit his sister's residence on our way to Ende. This was an unexpected itinerary but one which was very much welcomed by us as we witness the way of living of the Flores people and their hospitality. On the whole, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Flores much to the excellent work of Flores Exotic Tours and we highly recommend this agency for your travel plans in Flores.

We travelled with Flores Exotic Tours in July 2014 on the 12 day trekking tour. It was a wonderful trip that we enjoyed very much. Our guide Vitalis and driver Patrice were friendly and helpful locals who contributed significantly to this great experience. Vitalis gave great insight into Flores people, culture and places, while Patrice was a very safe driver on difficult roads. I recommend this trip and company.

It's almost a half year ago but when we look back on our trip through Flores we still get very warm feelings on this trip. Our guide Mr. Richard and the safe driver Mr. Patries made this trip even better! Richard knows a lot, his English is perfect and he even speaks some Dutch. Their hospitality is great and we had some great fun with them. The tour itself was nice as well, with some good rooms during the trip (8 days / 7 nights). Our hiking on Rinca in the late afternoon is probably one of the most beautiful experiences we ever had. Last but not least is the clear communication with Mr. Leonardus by mail. We would like to thank all the people of Flores Exotic Tours and we strongly recommend them to have your tour get organized.

We had known very little about Flores before we started this trip and considering that we have travelled quite a few places in Indonesia, we can confidently say that the trip to Flores was the most memorable one so far. We took the 8d/7n tour with Flores Exotic tours and it lived up to the expectations. Right from the start, the promptness and clarity of the responses in communication with Leonardus was extremely impressive. We started our trip in Maumere and moved west towards Labuan Bajo over the next week. Everything was extremely well planned and coordinated by the team led by Tour guide Maxi and the driver Ikky. This is one of the first tours i've taken where they have followed the planned itinerary and not changed things enroute and converted it into trips to tourist traps and visit to markets, showrooms to sell or market specialities. Flores is extremely scenic and the people, culture, landscape and food noteworthy. All the accomodations arranged were medium range to budget (Flores overall does not have much options) and all of them were very neat, clean and had cordial staff. Choice of hotels, restuarants was excellent and we enjoyed every bit of the experience. We would like to thank the team once again, especially Maxi, for being an excellent guide during the trip. Very polite, understanding and extremely cordial with my seven year old son and wife, who travelled with me. Having a good team on such long trips makes all the difference and that's what the team did. Maxi was even kind enough to take us to attend the mass on Good Friday at Labuan Bajo, since we were very keen to spend sometime there as our visit was during the Holy Week. I strongly recommend the trip to Flores and most importantly vouch for Flores Exotic Tours, being an extremely professional team and most importantly do their job with good attitude and ensure their Clients are well taken care of. Keep up the good work. Regards, Mario
