About This Experience

This tour is for all you heritage and history buffs out there. We will stay overnight in one of the country's best hotels, literally inside an old Portuguese fort not far from the Indonesian border. It was here that one of the most well-known events of the Indonesian occupation occurred right at the beginning of the 24-year conflict. Along the way there are other reminders of Dutch and Portuguese occupations which we will stop and look at.

I had a wonderful time in Timor Leste with this travel agency! My tour guide Roberto was 🔛🔝! He was very flexible, teached many things from his culture and country and was over all very professional and nice. He also managed to arrange me an extra tour to Balibo on a short notice 👍🏻. Totally recommend this travel agency and this tour guide! 👍🏻

Had the pleasure of having Vilter take me on a tour to Balibo. Saw many things on the way there and when I was there. The professionalism and quality of the tour was well worth the money. Can't recommend this service enough.
