“Big like”:D - would definitely recommend! - Our stay in Yogyakarta would not have been the same without Ardi and Damar… Not only was everything perfectly organized with Ardi - who was always on time - foreseeing the need for things like water, rain ponchos, or even just sunscreen (which felt like a miracle after realizing that we hadn’t packed it in the morning), but also there was simultaneously lots of room for flexibility. Throughout the 3 days we planned in the area, we ended up adjusting our itinerary multiple times due to weather conditions, and Ardi’s team’s sustained understanding was something we truly appreciated. The recommendations for local restaurants, dishes to try and tips on interacting with locals and how to avoid some less pleasant experiences as a tourist were also spot on and much appreciated. If you’re open-minded and ready for a real cultural exchange filled with sharing knowledge and interesting conversations to make you realize exactly how fascinating of a place and culture you found yourself in, Ardi is your person. By the end of the trip, you will hopefully not only feel like your worldview expanded, but that you have made some new friends on the other side of the world. Also, 11/10 for the music taste in the car (and willingness to listen to and explore your music too!). Maturnuwun!

Ardi as a driver/tour guide is a MUST! - We loved our time in Yogyakarta and that’s mainly because of our very kind and informative driver, Ardi. Even though we were only in town for two short days, it felt like we learned and explored so much of the city thanks to Ardi. He is so knowledgeable about everything, thoughtful in letting us try local foods, and a fantastic driver. Thanks again Ardi!

Excellent experience in Yogyakarta - Our experience with Ardí was very good, we toured the temples in Yogyakarta but it also took us to meet local people from the city that made the whole experience more enriching. We recommend Ardí if you want a reliable and safe service.

Amazing experience! - This visit to Yogyakarta, guided by Ardi, was just incredible! Motivating, open-minded, adaptable and resourceful, Ardi allowed me to discover the best aspects of Yogyakarta by taking into account my personality, desires, constraints, and by calculating extremely well the sequence of the day to always take the best from a place (whether because of the weather, the number of activities desired, the geographical proximity of things he considers attractive,...) while always being very chill and smiling! He's resourceful and knows how to seize opportunities to try out local things without breaking my budget, which is why, instead of spending one day with him as planned, I spent two! Ardi is never in a hurry and is very honest: he doesn't hesitate to say when something seems like a bad idea, but won't oppose it if it's just us. Thank's again for this fabulous experience and these in-depth discussions!

Amazing time with Ardi! - We took a day trip with Ardi to both Borobudur and Prambanan temples, and had a fantastic time. We highly recommend him as a guide to the temples. We have travelled a ton and have had many guides, and I have to say Ardi is one of the best we've had. He goes the extra mile to make sure you are having a good time and also open to taking you to new experiences, but is also respectful enough to let you know the costs upfront. In addition to the temples, we also went to a local snake fruit stall, and a traditional puppet show (amazing!). He is also quite a talker (if you're into talking), and so it was nice to talk to him to learn about Indonesian culture and lifestyle during the long drive.

Great tour guide - Ardi is a really good tour guide! He explains a lot about the culture and religions in Java and he is not preying upon your money. He even brought us to an old man who made wajang puppets and we got to play a show ourself also! Really good experience & good value for money :)

Amazing Yogyakarta tour - Had an amazing experience with my tour guide Ardi. He proved himself to be very knowledgeable during our Borobudur and Parambanan tour and was a great friend to hang out with during my entire stay in Java. My experience in Yogyakarta would not have been the same had I not hired him as my highly capable tour guide and escort. Would highly recommend.

Great Tour - This tour does a great job of packaging many of the key sites of the area into a convenient day. We felt like we made great use of our time in Yogyakarta. Great information and nice pace. Be sure to bring along some snacks/food as it may be a long stretch between mealtimes.

Early but worth it - Borobudur was beautiful and the breakfast after was good! The other two temples were interesting, as well. The additional stops at the local village were great! Be aware that you have to pay for a tour guide at Borobudur and all of the entrance fees and for the jeep. There are a lot of extra costs, but they are worth it! Ardi was great and knowledgeable, but he did not accompany us on half of the attractions.
