5.00We were in doubt about which tour to choose from the many different options. After browsing and reviewing several of them, we decided to book it with Rian from Songdjie tours and it completely lived up to every expectation. Rian put in a 110% to make this day an unforgettable experience. Throughout the day he showed us amazing views, made some extra stops to show us everything the area had to offer. During the drive he informed us about pretty much everything encountered and was able to answers any and all questions. His English was excellent and he seemed to genuinely enjoy showing us around. Thanks again Rian!
Ryan was really, really...

5.00A superb tour from start to finish. Rian picked us up on time and delivered as planned, safely to each destination. The sunrise volcano experience and open top jeep ride exceeded our expectations. Borobudur was brilliant as was Prambanan. These, coupled with Rian’s knowledge, additional stops which only enhanced the trip made it all a well worth experience for all the family. A truly magnificent day.
