Very friendly and accommodating guide and the driver. As I went at the 11 am tour , didn’t see the Merapi due to cloud, only maybe about 75%, and that took us more than an hour wait, but the guide keep taking nice pictures of the surroundings and patiently waiting for me. I didn’t go to the museum and the drive to the river as my choice. But the ride was smooth and on the way back , we stopped in the local restaurants with a view of the rice fields. I would suggest people to go at the 4 am tour only as in this month, it was cloudy almost every afternoon and you can’t see the mountain as part of it was covered by clouds.
Great trip!

Cahyo was punctual and very kind, speaks excellent English and accompanied us to the base of the volcano as agreed. Upon returning he suggested great advice for other visits. He is a prudent driver and a great guide. Recommended!
Great experience with the best guide!

We had a fantastic tour with our guide Ferry. He explained everything to us great and took photos for us with a lot of patience. This day will be remembered for a long time!
Good guides, but clouds don't compensate

The driver (Ferry) great. Very nice and explaining many things (not only Merapi, from Indonesia in general). With the tour you have to be lucky, if there are clouds you can see nothing and everything stays in a jeep ride. The best time is at dawn. The good score is for both drivers (also the 4x4 guide very kindly) but if there are clouds I would not repeat
Exciting and funny

Our driver put in a lot of effort and was very friendly. The tour was very exciting and we were picked up and brought back directly from our accommodation in Yogyakarta, although it was not in the list of pick-up locations.
For those seeking a bit of Adventure!

We had the best time in this adventure. It was a good balance of excitement and somber information about the volcanic eruptions and the devastating destruction caused. This was good for those who cannot hike up to the actual volcano, but want to learn and experience a beautiful and exhilarating day! Our guide Ruddy was friendly, knowledgeable and fun and shared that he survived an eruption while losing everything.
A must do experience if in Yogyakarta. The views are unbelievable and the guys are brilliant 👏. Thank you.
