Great friendly driver!
Sholi was an incredible guide while we were in Yogyakarta and we could not recommend him enough! He was very flexible with our schedule and was willing to pick us up at 3 AM for a Borobodur sunrise experience one morning and stay with us until 9 PM the next day to check out the Malioboro area. He was also very helpful in getting us checked in for our Borobodur and Prambanan experiences. He was very nice and friendly and answered all of our questions. He also recommended a couple of additional experiences which were not on our original itinerary which we loved!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Robert, for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure to accompany you during your time in Yogyakarta. I’m very happy that you enjoyed the Borobudur sunrise, Prambanan, Malioboro, and the additional experiences we recommended. I really appreciate your kind words about my flexibility, assistance, and service. It was a pleasure meeting you both, and I hope you have many more wonderful travels ahead. Thank you again for choosing my service and for your recommendation. 🙏😊

Great service, fun driver!
We had a wonderful time with our private driver Yudi! He was superpunctual, reliable and above all very friendly! He helped us plan our trip and made really good suggestions. The car ride was comfortable, he let the kids play their music, and even sang along :) He turned a long road trip into a lovely experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had such a great experience with Yudi. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him. He always strives to provide safe, comfortable, and enjoyable journeys, and we're happy he could help make your family trip so memorable. It's great to know the kids enjoyed the music too—it sounds like everyone had a fun time! Thank you for choosing Java Temple Trip. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Indonesia for another amazing adventure! Warm regards, Java Temple Trip Team

Five star tour guide and Driver
We booked Sholi for two days in which we went to Borobodur and temples, the sultans Palace, water Palace and malioboro Street. The price was fixed when we booked the tours and there was no extras to pay to him . He was always early for our pick ups and the car was beautifully clean when he picked us up including water bottles and was very easy to communicate with as he is very fluent in English. As I have mobility issues, Solly assisted me with all the steps and walking, organising a wheelchair for me to use a different locations, carrying our shopping and taking photos for us . I would highly recommend him as a tour guide.
Response from the operator: Beste, Hartelijk dank voor uw mooie woorden en het vertrouwen in Java Temple Trip! Het was een groot plezier om u te helpen met het plannen van uw reis. We zijn erg blij om te horen dat u tevreden bent met de planning en de begeleiding tijdens uw verblijf. Uw aanbeveling betekent veel voor ons en motiveert ons om elke gast de beste ervaring te bieden. Bedankt dat u voor Java Temple Trip heeft gekozen. We hopen u in de toekomst opnieuw te mogen verwelkomen voor een nieuw avontuur in Indonesië! Met vriendelijke groet, Sholi Java Temple Trip

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Yogyakarta: Private Car Hire Driver with Costumized Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yogyakarta.
How much does Yogyakarta: Private Car Hire Driver with Costumized Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $36 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yogyakarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Yogyakarta: Private Car Hire Driver with Costumized Tours take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Yogyakarta is not rushed.
Is Yogyakarta: Private Car Hire Driver with Costumized Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Yogyakarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Yogyakarta: Private Car Hire Driver with Costumized Tours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Yogyakarta: Private Car Hire Driver with Costumized Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Yogyakarta: Private Car Hire Driver with Costumized Tours?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Yogyakarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Yogyakarta and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Yogyakarta: Private Car Hire Driver with Costumized Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Yogyakarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Yogyakarta?
+
On Outty we rank every Yogyakarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Yogyakarta Private Car Hire with Driver, From Surabaya / Malang : Mt Bromo Sunrise - Ijen Blue Fire 2D1N, Borobudur Full Climb Up And Prambanan ALL INCLUSIVE PRIVATE Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Yogyakarta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Yogyakarta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
