Great day to the temples for Yogyakarta - Sholi was a great driver, and helped us arrange everything. Despite the heavy traffic everywhere during Eid, we were still able to make it to everything we had planned without worry. He was also able to arrange an extra activity for the evening for us upon request, to see the ramayana ballet back in yogyakarta. We were so pleased we booked him again for the next day for our airport transport. We would use Sholi again on our next trip to the area!

Wonderful way to experience Jogja - Sholi was excellent - spent 4 days with us - from airport pick up to drop off. We did many temples and other cultural visits. Temples are great - he arranged everything which meant we had a completely hassle free and very easy holiday. Definitely recommend

Best tour guide ever! - What an incredible time we had with our tour guide Sholi in Yogyakarta! He was like a friend from the moment we met, welcoming us with big smiles and genuine enthusiasm.
His knowledge of Yogyakarta was impressive, and he shared stories that brought the city to life in a whole new way. We felt like locals, thanks to their insider tips and recommendations.
But what truly made our experience special was his warmth and care. He was not just a guide – he was a friend, making sure we were comfortable, happy, and fully immersed in every moment.
We can't thank our guide Sholi enough for showing us the magic of Yogyakarta. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure, look no further – book a tour with them and get ready for memories that will last a lifetime!

Nice tour - We booked a tour to Borobudur and Prambanan including Merapi. He was really nice during the entire tour. He accompanies us to the starting point of Borobudur guided tour. We wanted to spend more time on those two historical sites so we skipped Merapi. Definitely we’d like to go with him if we go to Merapi next time.
