hi..just like to know..how much the taxi rate can i get from mr.husaini from polonia to berastagi only? Planning to visit berastagi-toba-medan may 2011.Thanks!
Hi,
Actually you can either send him an email or sms him directly. He is very kind to reply your mail with detail information as you like.
Last time we got request him to quote us some package like the one below for 1 million Rp (RM 360).
Parapat to Berastagi
Berastagi to Medan
For your case i guess will charge you around RM 150 just from Airport to Berastagi. To confirm the price i will suggest you to email him because the price may change.
hi again..on d way from parapat to berastagi,can he stop by in case we’d like to visit interesting places along d way?thanks!
Yes, you can but you need to inform the driver because there are two directions to reach Berastagi.
You just need to inform the driver where is the place you would like to go or ask for suggestion(because every time the driver is different, so when you meet the driver only inform him will do) then he will arrange for it but the price may be different (extra charge).
You can plan to go Sipiso-piso waterfall, that is a very nice place to take photo.
Hi, thanks for the wonderful information! :D
HELLO! ON THIS END OF MARCH, I WILL GOING TO LAKE TOBA AND BERASTAGI,
MAY I KNOW HOW TO BOOK THE BAGUS BAY HOMESTAY, I HAVE SEND IN THE EMAIL BUT NOT REPLY, THE MIKIE HOTEL WHERE YOU BOOK, I NEED YOU HELP,

The Mikie Hotel – I book via (www .asiarooms.com)

Thanks for your information. In Berastagi I will stay at Tongging a nice scenery place near Sipo Sipo.
hi, i would like to know how much u have spent for the above trip 5D4 N medan trip ?
for me and my gf – around MYR 1200-1400.
my frie alone – less than MYR 600.
Hi, just read ur info. Is vy useful for me.
I plan to have a trip at Lake Toba and Berastagi, but is hard to find a budget hotel. Can i get the email or contact no for Wisma Sibayak Guest House? I really need ur help, thanks….^^
Really sorry…I couldn’t find the contact no.
I think it shouldn’t be any problem if walk-in because we also do that way without any plan for the schedule change. If really unlucky there is no available room, perhaps you can get help from the driver like what we did last time.
ok….thanks ya…..^^u are so kind…^^
I will have a 6 day trip to Medan, Berastagi dan Toba. But I got problem with the transport, may I ask how the driver? is that he will come and pick-up on the date we want or all along the trip? I plan to go from airport to Toba dan 2 night there before going to Besrastagi and 1 night there and 2 nights in Medan.Thanks in advance.
No worries!
Once you have confirmed the trip with Husaini , on the date u arrive he and the driver will wait u at the Airport. After that the driver will fetch u to the destination then the driver will leave. Every trip may be different driver and that depend on the company arrangement.
Basically, u just need to let Husaini know the date and time for the trip and he will arrange the driver to pick u up and inform u where to wait for the driver.
I may suggest u to purchase a local simcard for contact between u and Husaini for the transport arrangement.
