Our driver/guide, Nael, was punctual and knowledgeable and provided a wealth of fascinating information—not only about the tour locations but also about Indonesia’s culture, customs, and traditions.

The thoughtful gesture of receiving a small leather pouch from the company was much appreciated and added a nice personal touch to the experience.

This tour was a great introduction to the ancient history of Indonesia. Visiting the archeological ruins provided a foundation for understanding the evolution of architecture styles in the various regions of the country. Ryan was an outstanding guide and teacher. He was very conscientious in making sure we were comfortable and was able to answer all questions. He was especially helpful for my friend who has some mobility issues. We were lucky enough to also get Ryan the next day when we visited Mt. Bromo. I highly recommend TrippyTrip Tour company!
