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!

Our driver Agung (AG) from Ayla Tours was an absolute gem throughout our first ever trip to Yogyakarta. His warmth, enthusiasm, and genuine passion for sharing made the journey truly exceptional. He was also attentive, willing to go the extra mile, and gave us excellent food recommendations! His infectious joy and positive energy especially during the long drives also made the ride enjoyable. Thank you AG for the incredible journey! Truly recommend looking for him if you're planning a trip to Yogyakarta.

My experience with Picnic Indonesia exceeded all of my expectations and left a lasting impression of excellence. Our every need was not only satisfied, but surpassed by the personnel, who welcomed us with true warmth and friendliness from the time we arrived. Throughout the trip, we felt safe and at ease because of their unwavering commitment to our comfort and safety. Such a seamless blend of friendliness and professionalism is uncommon. Picnic Indonesia truly provided an outstanding service.

We were incredibly lucky to stumble upon this hidden gem in Yogya! Getting here was a bit of a challenge with the steep roads, but the breathtaking views of tea and coffee plantations made it all worth it. Mbak Mar is truly remarkable; her passion for coffee is evident as she not only cultivates this unique blend herself but also involves the local community in its cultivation, resulting in a distinct chocolatey flavor. The quality of her coffee speaks for itself, having been rigorously tested in the lab! Here, we had the freedom to pick coffee beans (during harvest season) and plant coffee! all while being accompanied by Mbak Mar, who is knowledgeable and can answer any questions we have. Though her English is limited, she goes above and beyond to ensure her guests understand :) Will come back in 3 years to harvest my coffee plant :)
