Highly recommended!We did with him day tours to Borobudur and Prambanan.Posted on Joan HVerified Excellent Tour Experience with Mr Hengki at Yogyakarta My father and I had an outstanding time exploring Jogja with Mr Hengki as our driver and guide. His professionalism truly stood out - he consistently arrived early for our scheduled meetups and was incredibly flexible in accommodating to our requests. What impressed us most was his attention to detail and excellent communication. Mr Hengki responded to our messages promptly and even followed up on us during portions of the tour when we ventured out on our own. Beyond his reliability, Mr Hengki created a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Definitely recommend him to anyone planning a trip to Jogja.Posted on DougVerified Unforgettable trip with Beautiful Jogjakarta Tour We had an incredible week exploring Java with Hengki as our guide and private driver. From the very beginning, it was clear that everything was organized down to the smallest details. On the first day, he took us to the stunning Borobudur & Prambanan Temples, and the next day we experienced the sunrise at Mount Bromo and hiked up to the crater. Afterwards we visited the Madakaripura falls.What makes Hengki truly special is not just his excellent planning, but also how genuinely pleasant he is to be around. He’s funny, thoughtful, and really tunes into what the group needs. He checks the weather and adjusts plans accordingly, always thinking ahead – from bringing lights for early morning viewpoints to masks for the dusty crater, and making sure we always had plenty of drinkable water. So thoughtful!A big bonus: Hengki takes lots of great photos and videos during the tour, which made for such lovely memories afterwards. We really appreciated having those moments captured.He’s also very flexible and open to spontaneous ideas. It honestly felt like we were traveling with a good friend who just happened to organize everything and drive us everywhere. We had so much fun with him and he truly made our week in Java unforgettable.In short: Hengki is amazing, and we would 100% recommend him to anyone!Posted on Julian90Verified Great day trip to the temples in Jogja We booked a day trip with Mr. Hengki.

We explored many beautiful temples, rivers, volcanoes, hot spring, and lakes in Yogyakarta. Hengki drove the 3 of us around. He was on time picking us up every morning even if it was 3:30am. He was friendly and organised. He took his time to teach us how to take better pictures and videos using our cell phones. We had lots of laughter and great memories of this trip. We highly recommend Hengki.Posted on mlcheeVerified Amazing guide and itinerary This is my 2nd time to Yogyakarta. I have 2 travelling partners with me. I have the same guide and driver Hengki again. He planned the whole itinerary covering many places such as Borobudur, Dieng plateau, Mt Merapi, Sikidang crater, lava tour, Pindul cave, river tubing, hiking up Nglanggeran and many more. We had an amazing and wonderful experience during our stay in Yogyakarta. A big shot out to Hengki!!!!Posted on Roving59025018842Verified Adventurous and memorable trip in Jogja. I get to know Hengki's service in Apr 2024 from FB by someone I knew who wrote a very positive review on Hengki's service. My friends and I were planed to visit Jogja in Nov, so I give it try to connect Hengki via WhatsApp in early Apr 2024 for our Nov trip. Hengki was so responsive and given me all the information I needed about Yogyakarta. He patiently responded to my request in changing the itinerary despite I have not paying him any deposit to confirm if we are hiring him for his service. From the communication via WhatsApp, I found Hengki is a very reliable person and we decided to hire him as our driver. Finally we met Hengki on Nov 02. He is such an organised person and took his own initiative to check the weather and rearrange the itinerary to avoid disruption on each of our itinerary. Hengki also recommended us for good food and where to buy oleh oleh home. We are so great to have Hengki to host us during our 5D4N stay in Jogja. We will definitely recommend his service to anyone if planning to visit Jogja.Load more
