My husband and I visited Java the first time in late April to early May 2018 during our 2 week private tour that was fully organised by Hernan at IndoGlobal Adventure, the head office now based in Jakarta. This is the second time we used Hernan’s services. First time we traveled with him to Sulawesi. We were so impressed with the services that it was very obvious to use him for the second time as well.
It is very important for us to use local businesses during our travels that employ local staff so we can support the local community!
Hernan was always very professional and helpful during the planning and negotiation process about the itinerary and the accommodations. Due to his wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry and excellent business connections and reputation, we were still able to secure a very competitive package price (compared to others) even though we contacted him in the very last minute prior to our planned departure. Unfortunately, we are not able to pre-book tours well in advance due to our work schedules. However, nothing was impossible for him and he was always available when we needed to talk to him.
He organised absolutely everything for us, such as accommodations, transport, Jeep and Toyota 4WD tours, local guide at Borobudur and Prambanan and interesting programs at the different locations.
We paid a deposit to Hernan prior to our travel via Paypal that put us at ease as it was a secure option to organise the transaction.
After our arrival in Surabaya we were picked up at the airport by Hernan. It was great to see a familiar face among the endless number of taxi drivers who tried to find some customers for the day. Hernan has excellent English, he is well-educated and he is a very friendly person. We paid the balance of the tour package in Indonesian Rupiahs and discussed the itinerary with him. We visited Surabaya, Malang, Bromo, Yogyakarta, Borobudur, Semarang just to name a few.
The hotels were great, the programs were very interesting, three meals (B, L, D) per day were all included in the package. The food was very delicious, the portions were huge, the restaurants were all nice and definitely safe to eat and drink without getting any stomach problems.
I am a photography enthusiast and I spend a lot of time at one location to make sure I have the perfect capture. Hernan was always patient and he even suggested some special places for the best shots.
We are very happy that we had our trip organised again by Hernan and we will definitely use him in the future for other trips that we have already discussed with him during our Java trip. We have been recommending him to all of our friends and contacts with confidence. You cannot be in better hands than in Hernan’s and his wonderful team!
If you need further details please contact Hernan or send me an PM.
