Brilliant manager and Impressive Tour

20-Feb-2023

YK Explore was excellent. My mom originally from Bandung and this was my first trip to Indonesia. I wanted to visit the village where my parents were from. And guess what?? They put together a custom tour for me and it was fantastic! my manager as a driver, Angga, was the best. He was very knowledgeable and a joy to be with for the entire tour, and I feel safe as solo. I enjoyed it so much. I added Prambanan tour on my bucket list and it was a great tour. Bromo and Ijen were amazing toooo!! everyone should go there! I very much enjoyed my trip to Java! Thanks!
