Ottima scelta, organizzazione impeccabile, super raccomandato!
Abbiamo contattato Wahyu come guida in lingua francese, seguendo le positive recensioni di un blog e non avremmo potuto scegliere meglio per la nostra giornata a Yogyakarta. Dal pick up in aeroporto alla fine giornata, ci ha accompagnato con misura, garbo e senza fretta alla scoperta dei punti salienti della città, al nostro ritmo, con simpatia e competenza. Gli scambi Whatt'sApp per mettere a punto il programma sono stati rapidi e precisi. Prambanan è magnifica, saluta per noi il Professore. Grazie, Wahyu, ritorneremo!

An amazing day with Sugito
We had a great day on this tour. We were met at our hotel by our guide Sugito. He was an amazing wealth of knowledge and took very good care of us. He went out of his way to show us extra points of interest, such as picking salak fruit, and showing us the damage areas from the last eruption of Merapi. We highly recommend this tour and asking specifically for Sugito as your guide.

Great new experience
We booked the Jomblang and Pindul cave tour with Wahyu Travel Indonesia. Our driver Wijaya speaks English quite well, told us a lot of interesting things about life in Indonesia.Usually they pick up at 7 am. This is due to the sun in the cave and the queue for the descent.Be sure to take a towel, swimsuit, slippers. Waterproof bags for your camera and phone. This is for rafting on the river. For the cave, some kind of scarf or disposable hat to wear under the helmet, which will be given, long socks, because you will have to wear rubber boots, they will also be given out, flashlight, maybe a hiking stick, of course, if it folds. Because the cave is full of mud, and there is not always anything to lean on. You will be lowered into the cave 2 people at a time, a little scary, because 60 meters down.We finished in Jomblang around 1:00 PM. We were fed local food, it was delicious. You can buy a photo of yourself being lowered into the cave for 35k, so smile when they take your picture.There are also cashew nut orchards around here, it was harvest season (end of October), and we saw this nut growing for the first time.We had a great swim in Pindul cave. Then they took us further into the mountains in a small truck to a mountain river, where we rafted for 1 km. When the riverbed became calmer, they allowed us to swim on our own and showed us rocks from which we could jump.The water is very warm, not like in our mountain rivers. We passed fields where trees are grown, from which castor oil is made. Activity for the whole day, we finished swimming at 16:00

Jogja Immersion in one day
I had a very enriching cultural experience in a full day tour. I visited the Borobodur temple, the Prambanan temple as well as the ones near Prambanan. Gito was an amazing guide, sharing about the culture, language, economy, history, geography and governance of Jogja. He was a great time keeper, very systematic in coordinating the tour and very attentive. He took routes that showed me villages, the rice field terraces and so forth, which gave a glimpse of Jogja people's daily lives. He brought me to a restaurant which served Gudeg (Javanese dish of young jackfruit curry served with boiled egg) which was a delightful experience. Overall, from 8am to 5pm, the tour was absolutely so good! Thank you so much for the quality guide.

Une excursion à faire!
Très belle journée et bien remplie. Notre chauffeur guide Utama était très sympathique et professionnel. C’est une excursion qui vaut vraiment la peine. Nous sommes arrêtés dans un endroit sympa pour dîner avec la chance de goûter au fameux café kopi luwak! Tama nous a aussi fait découvrir de nouveaux fruits, un extra à cette journée. Très bon service de l’agence. Merci!

can highly recommend
I can highly recommend - Wahyu was a great and flexible tour operator for my full-day temple tour. Conversation was interesting and informative on the long drives. And the stop at batik and kopi luwak vendors was worthwhile.

Amazing, unforgettable, beautiful.
Hello,The trip was truly beyond words it was even better than we expected. We enjoyed every single moment, and what made this memory truly unforgettable was Gito.Gito is our driver and also our tour guide.He was an absolute professional his historical knowledge, his English, and his sense of humor made us feel both comfortable and delighted. He was also very polite and thoughtful; he suggested things before we even asked and was such a pleasant person to talk with.We were extremely happy with Wahyu Travel.Gito took us to amazing places and fulfilled almost everything we wanted such as souvenirs, batik, local delicacies, and fruits. We also witnessed his impressive historical knowledge at Prambanan. Saying goodbye to him on the way back made us a little sad, but we’ll definitely come back again!Thank you!
