My chauffeur, Bagus, is a very professional and pleasant person with excellent communication skills and a very good knowledge of Yogyakarta and its surroundings. The car was comfortable, clean and had well functioning aircon. I highly recommend this service.

We went to borobudur temple and restaurant near there by this private car charter. The driver was very kind and great hospitality. I will definitely choose this company to charter a car if I come to visit Yogyakarta again.

Great way to see both UNESCO sites in one day. My guide Taufan was wonderful, extremely polite and happy to answer any question and adjust the trip to my requirements. Fully recommend.
