As usual, we got contacted by the driver & everything went smoothly. For both days, Agung, our driver was early for pick up. Not only was he a safe driver, he was also very friendly & willing to share more about Yogyakarta & different parts of Indonesia. With him, everything was easy, he went above and beyond to make us feel at ease. I will not talk much on the first day as it was relatively simple and cool. *Important* Take note that tickets are not counted in so be prepared with cash. You will need to hike up for sunrise at Punthuk Setumbu. Borobudur & Prambanan required tickets as well. Make sure it’s bought beforehand. Jeep ride at Merapi was fun! For me, I loved the second day. Jomblang cave was amazing! As a guy who did rappelling before, the whole setup was safe and they checked all the necessary equipments/gears before commencing. You can trust them totally as they guide you from start to end. My wife was a first timer and she did it! Enjoy/experience the whole process & view while going down & you get to come up as well! Inside the cave, it was a whole new experience. You got to witness it yourself in person. No review/pictures can tell you how awesome the place is. Next for Timang, jeep ride was cool as usual. Everyone seemed to be a professional photographer when it comes to picture taking. Took the gondola and it was totally worth it. They upgraded the safety feature such as nets below and it made you feel safe. Try it! Overall, I really enjoyed my 2 days experience. It covered most of what we came Yogyakarta for and with Agung, our driver… the whole time was an enjoyable moment. Thank you! Oh ya, he even introduced us to delicious local foods such as Bakso & Sambal dishes. Awesomeness!

Kudos to Andimiko for his stellar hospitality. He took good care of us & was accommodating throughout the 2 days, and even helped us to take some nice photos 😊😊. Highly recommended!

My guide AG was the best anyone can have, he made this trip 100 times better ! he is the best guide anyone can ask for ! for those who wants a fun, flexiable and English speaking guide - AG is the man !!! Yogyakarta is the heart Indonesia and this is the package yall should choose to learn so much about jogja :)

Miko was a very punctual, gentleman, and helpful driver throughout the whole journey. He tried his best to answer all the queries to the places that we visited and willing to extend time to bring us to the place that was not included in their itinerary when we requested to stop for a breakfast or visit a gelato shop. Can check with the driver if would like to buy Borobudur or Prabanam entrance tickets, it was the same costs. The jeep drivers who were arranged by them in Mt. Merapi and Timang beach were excellent in service, especially at their photoshot skills! Definitly will choose them again for my next visit.

Punthuk Setumbu: Be ready to hike for 10-15 mins. The view is nice, got few spots for taking picture and the local workers are very helpful and skilled in taking your pictures. Borobudur: Ticket price is too expensive for non local, almost 10 times expensive. The temple is nice though, and the tour guide was helpful and explained in detail. Make sure you wear sunglasses and caps too because it’s sunny up there. Great experience, bit pricey though considering enterance fee wasn’t included in the package. Merapi - The price is okay and the view is nice. You will go to 3/4 place by jeep. Local driver will tell you the history behind every place and take your pictures. For best experience, bring a poncho. Prambanan - We didnt go here as the tix is quite expensive (like borobudur). Plus we plan to watch the Ramayana Ballet. Jomblang cave - The experience was spetacular, but we were troubled by the cost. Travel agent didn't mention earlier that we need to pay for the activity fees as it is not included in the package. Then why did they add jomblang cave as one of the activities if it is not included in the package (need to add on Rp500k for a person). It doesnt make sense to include this in your package, without them paying the activity fee; so if we didn’t carry the extra fee, are we expected to just take picture from above? The company should be more clear on this. Timang beach - The view was astonishing. Price for gondola tix is reasonable. Before you ride gondola, go to the bridge first where the worker can help you take picture; it was worth the extra cost. Overall it’s a good experience. We had a great driver along the way; Pak Naruh which is very helpful and understanding; though we had to stretch some extra hours for both days. Everything else was nice; except for the expectations to pay for Jomblang Cave.

Andi is a friendly & accommodating driver/guide. Definitely recommend these attractions when coming to Yogya. Prices for attractions are booked separately & they cost around SGD 65 for both temples. Our guide also gives good food recommendation & bring us to places for souvenirs!

Despite a small mishap on the first day, Sir Ei-Gie (my driver/guide) went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and satisfied throughout the entire trip. I truly enjoyed everything, and I felt well taken care of for the whole duration of my tours. He was incredibly accommodating, engaging, and always made sure I had a great experience. Overall, it was a wonderful trip and I’m very grateful for his excellent service.
