A fantastic way to see different aspects of Indonesia. We particularly enjoyed Yogyakarta. Our guide was fantastic and the hotels and activities were first class.

Very informative about the history and geography of Indonesia and Bali In particular. Lots of historical facts to process, and explained well by Ari. He was particularly attentive to my needs, when in motion and otherwise due to my age.

Ari was one of the best tour leaders I've had with Intrepid! The trip was great (including food and driver) - I only wish the trip itinerary allowed for more time to enjoy the pools and beaches.

Tanya · Traveled July 2023
Loved the contrast between Java and Bali on this trip and would definitely recommend it rather than just going to Bali as many people do. Our tour leader Maman was a gem!
