About Us

Established in 2014, Bogor Tours (BT) is a social enterprise initiative founded by Yayasan Cipta Mandiri (YCM), a dynamic, independent non-profit organization based in Bogor, Indonesia. YCM is committed to empowering disadvantaged children, youth, and women whose families face economic hardship and struggle to meet basic needs.

By training and employing local YCM youth from disadvantaged backgrounds, we promote personal and professional development, support social inclusion and champion sustainable tourism practices and economic development that benefit both travelers and Bogor communities.. The initiative reflects the belief that tourism can be a powerful tool for learning, cultural exchange, and social empowerment.

At Bogor Tours, our work is guided by the following core values:

  • Empowerment. We believe in creating opportunities that enable disadvantaged youth to reach their full potential.
  • Authenticity. We offer genuine cultural experiences that reflect the true essence of Bogor and its culturally rich people.
  • Sustainability. We commit to environmentally and socially responsible tourism practices that benefit future generations.
  • Community. We work hand-in-hand with local partners to ensure inclusive economic growth and mutual respect
  • Learning & Growth. We view tourism as a platform for education, personal development, and meaningful cultural exchange
  • Integrity. We operate transparently and ethically, holding ourselves accountable to our mission, our values and the community.

At Bogor tours we take you beyond the usual attractions. Led by friendly English speaking local guides who know the city’s hidden spots, the stories and connect you with the spirit of Bogor that most visitors never see.

Inclusive Access & Customised Experiences

At Bogor Tours, we believe travel should be welcoming, respectful, and inclusive for all people of all abilities. While some of our tours take place in environments that may include stairs, uneven terrain, narrow pathways, or busy local streets, we are committed to doing our best to support guests with different mobility, sensory, communication, or access needs. We warmly invite you to contact us directly so we can discuss your or your groups requirements and, where possible, tailor a customized experience that is safe, comfortable, and meaningful for you.
