John. John is very friendly very eager to learn tourguide who guided us around Flores in august 2014 for 1 week. We started off in Maumere and along the trip we passed Ende, Riung, Bajawa, Ruteng ( his hometown ), Labuan Bajo and by boat to Rinca and Komodo island. John knows the place very well and has alot to tell, even if you don't even have the questions ready. We visited local places and talked alot with the people living there, this because we had a certain interest in the local life and John was happily to ask the locals if we were welcome to sit and drink coffee/tea with them. We included the boattrip to Rinca+Komodo aswell, were John accompanied us aswell. If we had questions regarding places to eat, drink, see, or things not listed in our tourguide -but a must see according to him. It was no trouble to get around. In addition to John we had a driver aswell Lois, so we were very mobile. Back to the point in the beginning I said he was very eager to learn; As I'm half Indonesian and knew some of the words I brought along a dictionary Netherlands-Indonesian. He was so intrigued by this book he asked me of he could lend it to use and study it in his free time ( either when we were on the move by car or in his spare time he wasn't with us ) As token of gratitude we gifted this book on the end of the trip. All in all, it was a very fun and very informative trip on the island Flores. We will certainly come back for a longer period of time, we hope to see John as our tourguide again. With kind regards, Jeffrey and Laura
