💡 Flag down any blue microlet heading towards Tiga Raja – they pass near the hotel. Have small change ready; drivers rarely break large notes.
Medan Amplas Terminal → Parapat Bus Terminal
💡 Get off at Parapat terminal, then take a 5-minute becak ride (about 15,000 IDR) straight to Grand Tamaro. Buses can be crowded; aim for morning departures.
Kualanamu Airport Bus Terminal (or Medan Amplas Terminal) → Parapat Bus Terminal
💡 Buses from Medan to Parapat often drop you at the terminal, which is a 10-minute ojek (motorcycle taxi) ride to Valencia Homestay. Agree on the ojek fare first—usually IDR 20,000.
Kualanamu International Airport (Medan) → Parapat Bus Station
💡 This is the cheapest option but the bus drops you at the terminal, not the hotel. From there, take a motorbike taxi (ojek) for IDR 20,000 to Hotel Danau Toba International.

Medan Amplas Bus Terminal → Parapat Bus Station
💡 Book a direct bus from Amplas to avoid the ramai (crowded) local stops. If you're coming from Medan city, it's worth the extra cost over the ekonomi buses for a working AC.
