We had booked a large bus and a SUV for a total of 9 persons and for 11 days traveling from Jakarta via Bogor, Bandung, Pekalongan, Semarang, Surabaja, Malang and Kalibaru to the drop-off which was in Ubud (Bali). Our drivers were Arief and Maman, what a great characters, experienced and excellent driving skills they have. Besides that, after 5 days they felt more than family instead of drivers for us. When we did a touristic tour, Arief scheduled, organized tickets, jeep drivers, you name it and all around it. Really greatful to Arief for helping in Pekalongan finding more info of my family heritage <3.
Contact to Julian was pretty easy per whatsapp and made the agreement long ahead of the journey. Thanks Julian for organizing and “Om Arief” and “Bung Maman” for making our Indonesia Trip 2024 unforgettable. WE LOVE and MISS YOU.
All the best to your families.

Julian took us to the hotel at 4 a.m., to take us to see the sunrise on Mount Merapi and Borobudur. Then he led us to the Borobudur temple. After our visit, Julian took us to a restaurant, before visiting the Prambanan temple. Then we went back to the hotel in Jogjakarta with Julian. We highly recommend him for your trip, Julian is very kind, accommodating and is very good advice.

Julian was a wonderfull guide and drive troughout our trip trough Java. He picked us up at Yogya airport and after a week in Java, he drove us all the way to Canggu (Bali). The contact was super clear and helpfull before we came to Indonesia and our week with Julian on the road was the best. He knows where to stop, how to get tickets for all the things you want to visit. He arranges guides and lunchstops and is a very happy and joyfull driver. You can count on Julian for a wonderfull trip trough Java. (Hanne Reumers and Kato Laeremans from Belgium)
We drove with Julian to the two most important temples of Java. Tha was a great experience. Julian knows a lot about the culture of Java and gives us good information. He has good humor and makes lots of jokes. So we had a wonderfull daytrip. (An and Riet form Netherlands)
We highly recommend taking a guided tour with Julian as he made our stay in Yogyakarta unforgettable. We only had 24 hours for visiting the city, so we contact Julian for organize our trip in order to see the main temples. We arrived at the airport and Julian was waiting us, so we went fastly to Borobudur to arrive to the last turn. Then he drived us to the hotel and the next morning he was waiting us to go to Prambanan Temple and do a little car tour to see some tipical indonesian jobs.
Thank you Julian! (Roger C & Jordania C from Barcelona)

From July 11 to 18, 2023, we were traveling in Java where Julian was our driver and guide. For us this was the perfect way to get to know central and eastern Java. Julian was always very punctual, showed us nice places to get to know, did the necessary to arrange tickets and was pleasant company in the car 😊 In short, should we go to Java again, we would definitely do it again with Julian and so would recommend him to anyone for a nice trip through Java. (Pieter-Jan and Saar from Belgium)
We 100% recommend taking a guided tour with Julian!
We arrived in Yogyakarta very tired and Julian was waiting for us outside with a smile, he helped us change money and we explained many things about Javanese culture. The next day we take a private tour of the temples where he tooked care of everything: transport, tickets, interesting places to eat…
Julian, We sincerely thank you for wonderful services and personal attention we received during our recent visit to Yogyakarta. We enjoyed your thorough knowledge of the area, guidance and helpful attitude. We will be glad to recommend your services to others. (Anna & Ernest from Spain)
Hi Julian! I wrote up my review below, hope it helps!
“Julian has been of great help and very professional on our visit of the Borobudur and Prambanan temples. Not only was he always on time and prepared, he also arranged the entrance tickets for us and shared recommendations. Thanks Julian for your help and all the best!” (Maxim from Belgium)
Hi Julian:
“Julian was a very professional driver for our two days trip near Yogyakarta during our honeymoon. Always on time and giving us recommendations on places to go. The driving was very safe and the car always clean. He organized a whole trip for us in east Java with another driver including jeep rental to go up the volcanoes. I can only recommend Julian for any trips around Jogja”. (Hugo from France)
“All of us travelled from July 26th till august 1st 2016 with driver or tourguide Mr. Sujilan. We travelled from Yogyakarta and places between them till Kuta in Bali. There were a nice trip and saw many things in Java and Bali. We were with 7 peoples and loved our vacation. We say thanks to Mr. Sujilan for the save journey and also his driver was very good. We recommend others also to book a tour via Mr. Sujilan.” (kareen, I am a Teacher)
“We all made a round trip through Java in May 2016 for a week. In our view the easiest method to do so is with a private car and driver. Bij coincidence, we found Sujilan and at that moment, thought: what difference it will make whomever you determine to use. From our own experience we can now say: It is true and more than that! The coming year we will certainly do (another) Java-trip again. With Sujilan! There is no person better! If you would like more information.” (Bob and Marrie, We Are Freelancer)
“During our trip on Java, we’ve enjoyed the guide SUJILAN and his good friend (I forgot his name). They both speak good English and know almost everything of culture and nature in Bandung and Yogyakarta. To get a good price they will supply you with a fantastic guiding tour on Java.”
(Evert Guiree, I am a Teacher)
“Having found SUJILAN TOUR on the internet, we hired him for our trip thru Java to Bali last March-April 2016. We were pleasantly surprised. He is very pleasant, knows a lot of the country, is flexible and the hotels he recommended were really nice. He can plan a good trip, however if you want to plan your own or have your own hotels planned that is fine too. He comes with real good suggestions during the trip. All in all it was a fantastic trip also due to SUJILAN. We recommend him highly.”
(Jacob Swington, I am a Internet Marketer)
“Presently there were a wonderful short vacation in Indonesia began april 6 until the spring 14, 2016. our private driver, was already at Juanda Airport terminal Surabaya and brought all of us to our hotel. The experience with Sujilan : this individual is a good and safe driver. Also this individual is an outstanding guide and knows a lot of his country, its backdrop its nature. He is flexible, patient, reliable and helpful. He came with ideas and tried to find solutions if required. For that reason we recommend SUJILAN TOUR to everyone who is buying a private driver. We will contact Sujilan again for our next vacation, that is for sure.”(George and Petra Vischer)

We have spend today with Sujilan… we did the Prambanan temple, sultan palace and the water castle. He is a fantstic guy, friendly, good driver, funny,… Great to meet him! If you’re going to Java and you want a great time and see many thing…call Sujilan! (Kenneth Willockx)
Hi reader, we (family of three from Netherlands) have used Jilan’s service in August 2017 for 3 days.
We wholeheartedly can recommend you to use Jilan as your private driver.Jilan is very friendly, speaks well English and is a very safe and dependable driver. We never felt unsafe, and on some trips after a really long day and drive we fell asleep in the car. Jilan always brought us home safe. His car was safe and clean 🙂 and he always was interested in our wellbeing and he could really help with information and suggestions on route and what to see and where to go. Thank you soo much Jilan for everything you did for us while we were on Java. (Martin hoekstra)
Julian is a very friendly and passionate guide. You can really see that he enjoys guiding and helping people on their way in Yogyakarta. He gave us perfect advise about the best spots that were tailored to our needs. If you’re in Yogyakarta, we highly recommend you to book a tour with Julian (for example for a nice sunrise spot with a view on Mount Merapi). Terima Kasih Julian! – (Sam, Annemé & Maaike from The Netherlands)
We had a great tour to Borobodur with Julian! We went to a beautiful location on a hill to see the sun rise over Borobodur & afterwards we were one of the first people to get to the temple. He also had a great suggestion for a pretty breakfast spot afterwards. Can definitely recommend touring the area of Yogyakarta with Julian. He is really friendly and his English is very good. Thanks again Julian! – (David & Paula from The Netherlands)
