Hello. I'm Jessica, your local expert for Indonesia
Born and raised in a country with over 1,000 ethnic groups, cultural differences have always been my #1 interest. Not only that, the archipelagic country offers a wide range of natural wonders with the highlight being a home to over 130 active volcanoes, pristine white-sand beaches, and lush rainforests teeming with iconic fauna such as the orangutans! However, when I had a chance to go for a summer school abroad and found out that people only knew Bali, I was determined to showcase the beauty of Indonesia to the world, moving forward. Being a local tour operator allows us to focus on offering unique experiences that are tailored to our travellers' interests.

Why travellers love Jessica

29/08/2025“We'd never been to Italy and had only general ideas of where to go and what we wanted to do. We had NO CLUE on the specifics of where to stay and how to arrange activities and transport. I stumbled across Rough Guides during my research, did a little research and started communicating with them. They shaped a FANTASTIC experience from there and stayed in contact to make sure it all came through. I can safely say that we had a much more enjoyable trip, with far less stress, because of Rough Guides.”

26/06/2025“We used rough guides to plan a multi-generation trip (seniors, young kids, and parents) to Indonesia. We wanted to visit parts of Java, Komodo and a beach destination. The trip planner Jessica was very helpful. We started with a Bali itinerary, but she was receptive to our feedback and helped update it to go to Lombok instead. On the ground experience was very good too. I had a WhatsApp group with Jessica and Shella (local support) and both were extremely supportive for any unforeseen situations and questions. Last but not the least, my dad needed some support during the trip due to his age. All the guides helped provide care for him, at times going out of the way. I have used Rough Guides before, and would use them again in future.”
