Great family trip - Mr Hotma was a safe driver, punctual and mindful of our special needs son. Gave good suggestions on food choices / cafes/ gelato and places to go. We hired him throughout our 5 days in Yogyakarta and drove up to the Ambarawa Train Museum as well.

Mr Didik is the best guide ever! - Great day. Everything was organised by our wonderful guide Didik. He was super attentive all day. He organised great guides at both temples. We learnt so much about Indonesia culture in our conversations in between activities. He went over and beyond with advice for next stages of travel etc. He kept kids fed on long car trips and provided great resto tips etc. Would definitely recommend anyone booking this trip - or anything in Yogyakarta- to ask for him specifically!

One day temple visits - The driver was kind and flexible to accommodate my tight schedule to visit temples, restaurant for lunch and drop me off at the international airport. I skipped the volcano part due to tight schedule. The entrance tickets of the temples were reserved in advance, so it was easy and quick to visit there. Thank you!

Gorgeous Temples and Volcano Views - Kick started our tour by visiting Prambanan temple compound. The main site was crowded, but we did get a chance to climb into one of the temples. The views from the top floors was spectacular. And the carvings were gorgeous. There are many temple sites within the same compound. Would strongly advise to bring sunblock and an umbrella as the sun is not to be trifled with. Pathways between temples can be long, but the walk was enjoyable, beautiful gardens and trees lined up these pathways. There are options for our tour guides and hiring buggies as well. We then moved on to Merapi where we hired a jeep to take us to see the volcano (subject to weather, it was very cloudy when we had gone however the view was still amazing) Depending on the package, your tour may also include a visit to an old bunker and museum, both a chilling reminder of nature's wrath. Finally we visited Borobudor, and as we got tickets to visit all the way to the top (while selecting tickets, you must choose an experience based on either architecture or history) we were blessed with rain. Needless to say, the entire experience was gorgeous, most of the crowds had gone by then and it felt like a VIP tour with just us and the tour guide explaining various carvings and the significance of the architecture. A huge shoutout to our guide Rio who organized this entire day trip for us. When we were pressed for time, he made sure we made it to the sites and got to experience these major highlights. He was always looking after our comfort, picking us and dropping us off to suit our convenience, offering us coconut juice, snake fruits to snack on and at the end, he took us to an amazing place for dinner. He also took us to have some Kopi Luwak so fulfil our caffeine dose for the day. The car he was driving us in was very comfortable, AC and water bottles equipped. We had an amazing day in Yogyakarta thanks to Rio. Got some amazing shots as well. Will definitely be in touch again, highly recommended tour!

Excellent days tour of temples plus - Contacted Rio for a bespoke one day tour taking in the temples and anything else he suggested that wasn’t too touristy. Rosemary had a bad leg so we didn’t want too much walking. The two temple complexes were amazing and well worth the visits. Rio was a really good guide with lots of local knowledge, gsh and a good safe driver. Included a coconut sugar farm which due to Ramadan had shut early but the lady gave us a small sample to take away. Additional temples that had been previously buried by ash. Really nice Batik studio where we found our signature piece for Indonesia. Lunch and a lawak coffee shop. Rio was concerned that we had seen enough for the day which was over ten hours. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

Saw old Temples and learned about Yogykarta - Wedha as a top notch tour guide. Wonderful English speaking ability but more importantly, easy to talk to and so much knowledge of general culture and history he can share when you ask. This adds to the tour and experience. Sites were amazing. Wedha and his company did save us with site ticket issues we had. Be ready for some incredible views. Do advise a big breakfast, lunch was on the later side. Great location and food but can be after 2pm. We did not see the volcano but that is mother nature for you.

Very Deceptive Tour With Rogue Driver - Please DO NOT take this tour for the following reasons: 1. This trip costs only approximately 700K IDR not 1200K IDR which we ignorantly paid. 2. Entry fees at Borobudur, Prambanan & Jeep tour at Merapi for foreigners is EIGHT times of what locals pay. Locals pay 50K and foreigners are asked to pay 400k per person. They assume all foreigners are rich including foreign tourists coming from poor countries. 3. The driver gets commission from all the entry fees that foreigners are asked to pay, so he will ensure that you fork out EIGHT times the fees. 4. As I have Indonesian heritage, but I am a foreigner I purchased a “domestic” ticket online for Prambanan temple. The driver reported to the staff that I am a foreigner and I was asked to purchase a ticket for 400K per person. I declined to pay and returned back to my hotel without seeing the temple. 5. The driver enjoyed our hospitality but reported for his commission. I noticed that there were hardly any foreign tourists because of this dirty policy to charge EIGHT times to foreigners plus this company’s charges are almost twice the normal fares.
