Temples and good times - Amazing temples! We went to a very nice view point to watch the volcano: authentic place, peaceful in nature with a good view of the volcano. Our driver, Sholi, was a joy to be around and very kind. So much that we booked another trip with him for the next day! Terima kasih banyak Sholi!

4D3N Jogyajakarta Holiday - We join Lovely Borobudur Tour for a 4D/3N Jogyakarta Private Tour from 8 to 11 Aug 25. Both our tour guide Fajar & driver, Ricky services was excellent. They recommend the best kuih lapis & bring us to savour delicious local food. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. We had a wonderful & memorable holiday visiting both Prabanam & Borobudur heritage sites together with an adventurous jeep ride to Mount Merapit & Pineforest.
Good job Mr Bintang, Fajar & Ricky!
All the best from Connie Cheah from Malaysia.

Unforgettable experience - My experience with the tour, and more specifically with the guide, Sholi, was unbeatable. A very attentive host, always ready to assist with any needs I might have during my stay and the tour. He made my day very easy and helped me with everything. He's a spectacular person, up to the task, and did everything in his power to make me feel at home. I couldn't be more grateful. It was an unforgettable experience.

Great personality, punctual & easygoing - I had booked a driver/car for the day as I did not want to to be rushed at the sites U was visiting. With Sholi as a driver I hit the the jackpot: he was very kind and funny. We loved a lot through the long day visiting the temples of Borobudur and Prambanan as well as the volcano Merapi. Inbetween we had good chats, I learned about his life in Yogyakarta and he provided me with water, fruit and boiled eggs.
He was always waiting for me at the entrances of the sights and gave me all the time I needed. On top, he helped me organise the tickets etc.
I gad a fantastic day and definitely recommend Sholi as a flexible & reliable driver for anybody’s adventures!

Excellent Tour - I had a wonderful trip with Sholi as my guide and driver. He is a safe driver and was very knowledgeable about the surroundings, always ready to stop for pictures and an explanation.
We talked about so many things- Javanese culture, education, history.
Best tour I have had in a decade.

Wonderful - We were picked up at 4 AM today by our driver, Sholi, who was perfectly on time. He drove us safely to the volcano and was incredibly friendly throughout the journey. He even provided water and bananas as breakfast. His colleague, Imam, the jeep driver, was also very kind and great company, offering insightful information as a fantastic guide. We were pleasantly surprised with a private photoshoot during the sunrise at the volcano. Afterward, Sholi was waiting for us and drove us safely back to the hotel, even sharing some extra travel tips along the way.
We are extremely grateful to both drivers – they are so passionate about what they do, and thanks to them, this excursion became a true highlight of our vacation.
We wish Sholi and Imam only the best, thank you both for this amazing experience. 🙏🏼
