Add-on Services
Planning to see Java your own way? Add a trusted local to any trip, or book our services on their own.
Private car with a local driver-guide
Hire a car with a licensed, English-speaking driver for a day, an airport transfer, or a long journey across Java. Our drivers are storytellers on the road: they share the history, food and daily life of the places you pass, so the journey becomes part of the experience.
- Day hire in Yogyakarta: you choose the stops and the pace.
- Airport transfers: straight from Yogyakarta airport to your hotel.
- Intercity and overland: for example Yogyakarta to Bromo, Ijen and Bali.
- Fully customised: routes, hours and stops built around you.
Our vehicles
- Toyota Avanza: couples, families and small groups.
- Toyota Hiace: mid-size groups.
- Elf minibus: larger groups.
- Bigger groups and agencies: we arrange partner vehicles with no group-size limit.
At heritage sites, your driver tells the stories on the road, and we can arrange an on-site guide on request.
History and culture walking tours
Add a walking tour through Malioboro or Kotagede to any trip, or book one on its own. You will hear the stories behind the streets, not just see them. Walking tours start from $16 per person.
Photos and video of your trip
Every driver carries a smartphone with an excellent camera. Just ask, and they will happily take photos of you at the stops you love. If you want professional photos or video, we arrange a local photographer from our partner network. Please note that drones are not permitted at any temple or at Bromo, so we never plan drone shots there.
Clear pricing, no surprises
Prices depend on the vehicle, group size and route. Message us on WhatsApp and we will confirm in writing exactly what is included before you book.
