It all started with some research on Indonesia through the vast, uncharted territory of the internet. Our tour guide (Jean-Yves) stumbled (without hurting himself) upon a list of driver-guides. Since email is so easy these days, he sent an information request to all the addresses. After numerous, somewhat outlandish replies, only one caught his attention: Heri's, which was very precise and professional. After exchanging a few emails, the decision was made: we wanted Heri to accompany us on our trip. We gave him free rein to choose the itinerary, specifying that we liked to get off the beaten track and meet the locals, far from mass tourism. What a wonderful welcome we received when we got off the plane in Yogyakarta! Heri was waiting for us with his huge smile, but without his hat? From the very first night, his choice of hotel impressed us. He had set the bar very high. The entire trip lived up to that first night. Smooth, seamless bus journeys with Pri-Pri as our driver, never a jolt, never a honking horn, and always with the same smile and attentive service from beginning to end. Heri's attentiveness reached its peak with a fireworks display for our National Day. An uncompromising exploration of Indonesia, encounters with multicultural people, and visits to breathtaking locations. Heri's professionalism and kindness made this trip between Java and Bali an extraordinary journey. The kindness and smiles of Pri-Pri and Heri will remain unforgettable memories. If there's only one piece of advice for your future trip to Indonesia, let Heri be your guide.
