My guide was Nasir and he was an excellent guide. He was very kind, patient, knowledgeable, and a good driver. Nasir speaks English and we chatted in the car and in between activities. He is curious about other cultures and we had a great time discussing about Indonesia and the rest of the world. Nasir does everything to make sure his client is comfortable, including making unplanned stops and asking for feedback on his services. I highly recommend using Nasir for your next tour in Jogya or other parts of Java. Prambanan temple is wonderful as well, of course!

I had a wonderful day. Indrah is an amazing tour guide, he’s so smart and knows so much about the history and nature of Jogja. I learned so much about Yogyakarta and Java. We stopped at one point to smell eucalyptus. The guides at Borobudur and Prambanan were wonderful too. I learned so much about the history and architecture of the area.
