Unforgettable Day with the Best Guide in Yogyakarta - Thank You Thomas! - We had the absolute honour of having Thomas as our tour guide. We booked very last minute and weren’t sure if we’d even get a spot, but we were welcomed with a lovely message and a smiley face that morning. Thomas drove us around all day, taking us to each site while sharing fascinating knowledge and making everything so fun and engaging. He even brought local snacks and fresh fruit for us to enjoy on the drive to the temples and during the jeep tour, putting so much attention and thought into every detail. He took so many photos of us and was always happy to take more. His energy, smile, and kindness made the whole experience unforgettable. He also brought us to an amazing local lunch spot and a Luak coffee place, which added even more to the day. I’m genuinely sad it’s over and wish I could do it all over again. Thank you, Thomas. This was our very first day in Yogyakarta and you made it the best. Thank you for welcoming us into your home and sharing your stories and culture with us.

Once in a lifetime jogja tour - Highly recommend this tour! Our driver was Thomas and he was the sweetest and so helpful! Highlight of the tour was definitely the jeep ride but visiting the temple was also amazing. They were all so pretty!

Amazing way to explore Yogyakarta!! - The temples were amazing and Fery was so knowledgeable about all of the places we went to! He went the extra mile at each stop - getting us to the top of the temple when we were not originally going to be able to, dropping us close to the entrances, etc. Would definitely recommend- the jeeps were amazing too!!

AMAZING TOUR IN JOGJA - Fery was an incredible driver and was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. He managed to get us temple tickets on a Monday (very hard to get) and knew so much about each temple we visited. He let us play music on the aux and was incredibly patient and kind when we were taking our time at each temple. The jeep component of tour was also very fun! High recommend 🤩

Amazing Experience! - the trip was amazing, so many bucket list things ticked off in one day and so many fun adventures. Fery was a great driver and spent lots of time telling us all about the information for the temples, showing us 2 extra places out of the itinerary and walking us through, and was very patient while we explored. despite the Borobudur temple being closed to climb on a monday we were able to which was so cool. a highlight was definitely the jeep driving at merapi, although it was slightly cloudy it was such a fun and unforgettable experience. fery always made sure we got to our tours safely and got us some water as well as let us sing in his car haha, overall such a great experience would definitely recommend this trip and Fery as a driver!!!

Day trip to watch the sunrise at Setumbu Hill, visit to both Borobudur & Parambadan temples and a jeep tour up Merapi! - Maxi did an amazing job looking after us for the day. Early pick up. The sunrise was beautiful and both Borobudur and Parambadan temples were amazing. We loved the jeep tour up Merapi. Maxi’s energy and local knowledge was a real treat. Very worthwhile.

A wonderful day - A fantastic day: Arma, our friend, picked us up at 4:00 and we went to see the sunrise, then we visited the Borobudur temple with a guide, the Prambadan temple, where Arma also found an Italian-speaking guide for us! Finally, we took a jeep to visit the site where the Merapi volcano erupted and all the ruins. Arma is a wonderful guy, he told us about the local culture and is passionate about local history. He is truly kind and always smiling. We had a day we will never forget. Thank you.

To do but not affordable for everyone! - We did the tour with Arma and had a fantastic day. Even though the weather was rainy, we still really enjoyed the experience. Arma was friendly, attentive, and shared a lot of interesting information throughout the day. He also took some great photos for us – much appreciated! The only small downside is that the tour is a bit on the expensive side. Still, it was worth it overall, and I would definitely recommend it!
