Our Team
How this desk is organised
This page describes Indonesia Private Tours Society as it actually works: a small desk that handles itineraries and bookings, organised by responsibility rather than by biography.
- Operator vetting. Checks the licence, the vehicle or vessel and the guide behind each product before it is offered.
- Itinerary planning. Builds the day around real travel times, opening hours and permit windows rather than around a map.
- Permits and entry fees. Arranges the official permits and entrance fees that apply and shows them separately from our own fee.
- Guest liaison. Handles changes, delays and requests during the trip, and says when something cannot be done.
- Fact checking. Checks distances, durations, seasons and prices against operators and official sources before publishing.
Why there are no names on this page
This page names no individuals. A stated qualification should survive being asked for proof; where ours would not, it is left out entirely. Ask, and you will be told who is working on your enquiry. That answer is specific to your case, which is the only context in which a name is worth anything.
What we publish, and how it is checked
Every rule, fee and timing on this site is traceable to an operator or an official document. If we could not confirm it, the page says so rather than presenting a guess in the same voice as a verified fact. Corrections are welcome. Anything we get wrong is fixed on the page itself, with the change visible, not removed without trace.
