Mas Ardi - Very good funny English speaking guide
Mas Ardi is the best if you wanna check out Jogja! We've been there every year for the past three years and we always get Ardi to bring us around. He has amazing food recommendations and is very knowledgeable in the history of places we've been to. Bonus, his jokes are also very KEREN! Don't hesitate to book him if you are planning to go to Jogja. Matur Nuwun Ardi dari anak seni buuuaannggeeettt~ Please build your own guest house. I will support you!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words about Mas Ardi! We're thrilled to hear he made your trips memorable with his knowledge, humor, and recommendations. We'll share your suggestion with him—he’ll surely appreciate it!

Borobudur and Prambanan
We saw the sunrise. Then we visited the Borobudur site before a Luwak coffee with explanations. In order to go to the temples of Prambanan. All this in a good mood, lots of discussions and safe and reassuring driving. We learned a lot from Ardi on that day. Do not hesitate to contact him directly to organize your tour according to your wishes: +62 888 0270 2727
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled you enjoyed the tour, and Ardi will be glad to know his efforts made your day special. For organizing future tours, kindly contact our official customer service team directly.

100% recommended
We contacted Ardi because a friend of ours recommended him for driving us around Yogyakarta. We hired him for two days (first we planned just 1 day to visit Prambanan and Borobudur, but since the temples close on mondays, he arranged some activities for that day for us)and he was a great guide. He taught us about Java/Indonesian culture (food, traditions and language). Very easy going person and he made the driving hours easy with his knowledge. Totally recommended to book. His work number is +62 88802702727 (just mind the time gap between your country and Indonesia, or you might write him while he sleeps just as we did, but he took it very well). Matur nuwun Ardi Hope we cross paths again in the future.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, you may contact him directly or by our system. just visit our official web

A wonderful experience with Ardi
We took a private transport with Ardi to visit Prambanan, Borobudur and see the lava of the Merapi at night. Ardi was really nice. We learnt a lot about Indonesia and very listening. A good driver. You can go with him, you don't regret it : +62 88802702727
Response from the operator: Thank you so much!

Yogyakarta Transport - English speaking driver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Semarang.
How much does Yogyakarta Transport - English speaking driver cost?
+
Prices start at $58 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Semarang usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Yogyakarta Transport - English speaking driver take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Semarang is not rushed.
Is Yogyakarta Transport - English speaking driver worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Semarang, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Yogyakarta Transport - English speaking driver?
+
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 Transport - English speaking driver suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Yogyakarta Transport - English speaking driver?
+
Around 2 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 Semarang 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 Semarang and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Yogyakarta Transport - English speaking driver 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 Semarang 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 Semarang?
+
On Outty we rank every Semarang experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Surabaya / Malang : Mt Bromo Sunrise - Ijen Blue Fire 2D1N, Mount Bromo Sunrise Private Trip, Borobudur Private Excursion From Semarang (Upper level access). 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 Semarang?
+
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 Semarang?
+
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.
