We have been delighted with AG. He picked us up in Yogyakarta and we have been touring with him the entire island of Java until we reach Bali. He is an excellent driver and we have had a great time together. I wish we could have continued to enjoy his company throughout the trip. We will definitely contact him again next time. Also AG has a very good English, he is very kind and very good driver. We will miss him! Thank you!

The tour was very well organised. Our driver was very kind and was really receptieve to our preferences. It felt like everything was taken care of. The accommodations were cozy and clean, the schedule was busy but flexible, and the partners were friendly but professional. All in all a great tour!
