Merapi

Ervad Aryanto i., he drove us to the Merapi vulcano. He was so much more than just a driver! He was also a nice guide. Along the road, he told us everything about Yogyakarta, the Merapi and also a lot about the culture. He speaks English very good. We really liked our ride!

Great tour of Prambanan and surrounding areas

Had a wonderful time touring rice fields and then visiting Prambanan and Sewu temple. Nadia was an excellent and informative tour guide and Raka was a great driver! Would recommend to anyone looking to get out of Yogyakarta for a day.

Beautiful day at Merapi with an experienced guide.

Seta picked us up at the hotel and took us to see Merapi. He was an incredible guide. He speaks English very well and was able to teach us many things about Indonesia, Yogya, and Merapi itself. He is also a great photographer and helped us have a great collection of memories. Special mention to the rest of the team, they were all very nice to us. We highly recommend booking the excursion with them.

Exceptional

We had an incredible day thanks to our fantastic team. Ervad, our driver and guide, was exceptionally kind, knowledgeable and welcoming. He shared so much about the local area, happily answered all our questions and even surprised us with a few thoughtful gifts he collected during the tour. He also took the time to create a wonderful video of us, which was such a special touch. JAM, our jeep operator and the driver for them was equally brilliant – full of information, an excellent driver and he captured some amazing photos for us along the way. Together they made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!
