A Must go for visitors going Medan for a break.

Our guide was very helpful in making the journey pleasant. A big thank you to Mr, Deddy & his driver for the patience in the long journey to Lake Toba & back to Medan City.

good tour but not worth the price

Eko was very knowledgeable and speaks good english. overall, the tour was good but with the title of the tour 'one day tour to explore brastagi high land & lake toba' I expected to go to lake toba, and not view of lake toba from sipisopiso. Especially for the price that was paid.

Great one day trip outside of Medan to see the waterfall and Berastagi, such a wonderful experience.

We were guided by Mr Eko and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. He knew his way around the places we went to and was particularly well versed with the history and traditions of the places which we were very interested in. Great day!

Beautiful journey into the Batak past!

Seeing the traditional homes where the Batak people continue to live was amazing! I loved looking at where they sleep and cook their meals. My guide and driver was wonderful and very concerned with what I was interested in seeing along the way.

Well crafted itinerary , memorable tour

Scenic view of Si Piso Piso Waterfall and Lake Toba from hill top . Amazing drive down from Lake Toba view to the lunch venue at a floating restaurant on Lake Toba. Colorful Brastagi Fruit Market was marvellous . Visit to Batak Karo village and Sinabung Volcano was very enjoyable - Well designed and excellent itinerary for this tour package . Not forgetting the knowledgeable tour guide Pak Eko and experienced driver Pak Rafii did an excellent job to take us through and fro the challenging journey safely . A Strongly recommended tour .

One day tour to explore brastagi High land & lake Toba departure from Medan: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medan.

How much does One day tour to explore brastagi High land & lake Toba departure from Medan cost?

+

Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does One day tour to explore brastagi High land & lake Toba departure from Medan take?

+

Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Medan is not rushed.

Is One day tour to explore brastagi High land & lake Toba departure from Medan worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Medan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule One day tour to explore brastagi High land & lake Toba departure from Medan?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is One day tour to explore brastagi High land & lake Toba departure from Medan suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book One day tour to explore brastagi High land & lake Toba departure from Medan?

+

Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Medan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Medan and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does One day tour to explore brastagi High land & lake Toba departure from Medan start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Medan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Medan?

+

On Outty we rank every Medan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3-Day Ethical Orangutan Jungle Trek | Bukit Lawang, Sumatra, 2 Days and 1 Night Ethical Jungle Trek, Monkey Business 3 days - 2 nights Jungle trekking (including rafting). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Medan?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Medan?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
