The tour was flawless: interesting, well-organized and comfortable. Our driver, Yudi, is a very nice and kind person. He was flexible, professional and careful about our needs and curiosities. He also introduced us to local customs and traditions. In addition, he even managed to provide us with an unexpected "VIP" entrance. The two guides were knowledgeable and dedicated. I highly recommend the tour, Yudi and his team: top level!

The tour with our tourguide Aamiin was awesome. He explained us a lot of the history and culture and it was never boring with him. Beside singing in the car he bought us some fruits and we stopped for photos of the volcano. He always took care of us and the tour was well organized and we were also able to climb on the top of Borobudur which is very difficult to get tickets for it. Thank you very much for this great day :)
