Amazing first couple of days in Yogyakarta - We had the absolute pleasure of having Joko assisting us as our driver to Prambanan and Borobodur. He is the nicest, friendliest, most humble and most knowledgeable person to accompany us on the road, we had much fun, his English is great and made the experience of visiting Yogyakarta unforgettable. We highly recommend this tour and driver Joko as your guide!

Extraordinary experiences thanks to Joko - My trip schedule was too short to enjoy Jogja leisurely. So I decided to look around major attractions(ans below) and found out this tour. - PUNTHUK SETUMBU HILL SUNRISE - BOROBUDUR TEMPLE - PRAMBANAN TEMPLE As the photos I attached, the landscapes were surreally beautiful. And as for Joko, he is the best tour guide I’ve ever met. He was really kind, knowledgeable about good restaurant as well as tourist attractions. I believe that this program and the guide Joko will give unfoggetable memories in Indonesia.

Awesome temples tour in Yogyakarta - Joko was the best guide we could hope for! Not only did he drive us to the different locations, but he also gave us a lot of interesting information about Java culture and lifestyle. He also managed to get us the tickets for the Borobudur temple structure in no time! 100% highly recommended!!

Old temples day tour - It was an amazing day. Tour organization was perfect, we also have spent a lot of time talking. Also we had an opportunity to visit one more place out of the program because of our mutual interest in coffee;). I'm grateful for the day and for one more cool friend from the opposite side of the globe).

We visited temples, beaches, waterfalls, small villages and typical restaurants - Our Driver Joko was excellent - professional, friendly, amusing and informative we took him for five days. He took us to some excellent restaurants. My wife and I are both professional tour guides in Europe and we wanted to visit typical restaurants not those aimed solely at the tourist. We would highly recommend his services

Ask for Joko! - We took the tour with Joko. He's simply the best English language tour guide we met in all of Indonesia. He has a list of tours available and is very flexible and accommodating. He brought us to local restaurants before/after our tours, helped us get tea on a cold, rainy day, and kept us company on the drive.
