5.00Maritsa was a fun and chatty driver and gave us some great recommendations to enjoy our Yogyakarta vacation even more. The activity itself was great, at first we expected the jeep to go up the volcano, but the fun ride around the area and the small but impressive museum were definitely worth it.
