Semarang to Jepara Destination Reviews

Soffana M

Stressful experience. 1. The address of the meeting point is wrong. Even the name of the company. And there is no phone number to contact the minibus company. Fortunately, local people after many researches on the Web helped me to find the right meeting point : https://g.co/kgs/chBv8z9 Name of the company : SEMERU IMAM BONJOL Phone number : +62 857-8612-1755 (speaks Indonesian only) 2. We were 3 in the minibus to Jepara. But one person wanted to go somewhere else, so the driver made a huge detour. We left Semarang at 7.30 p.m. and arrived at Jepara port at midnight!! Not at 10 p.m. Think to ask the other passengers where they want to get off to have a thiner idea of the journey duration.

On time, new minibus. The only problem was that in Semarang the pickup point according to the booking confirmation of 12goasia wasn‘t correct

The bus is comfy, but I would not be able to find the pickup point without the help of locals. There is no board or anything to indicate where you have to wait (Semarang station). Also, the driver was a bit grumpy, but I find it less annoying that the fact that I could not find the pickup point.
