    We would highly recommend this trip to friends and family. We experienced some amazing things and met some great people. Although the itinerary was good in itself, Heisti really helped to make it a special trip, she brought the group together well and was really helpful and fun.

    A fantastic tour to see the real culture and experience the country genuinely. This is something hard to find these days. The combination of the location, tour itinerary and the best guide I have ever had the pleasure of, made this a real "trip of a lifetime"

    Do you do private tours of Java, similar to the Best of Java tour?

    Operator
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2025

      We do offer private departures on certain tours but the minimum required group size that is required to make it a private departure is between 8-12 people. If you are only one, the pricing will get charged for 8-12people accordingly, making it very expensive.

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      What is the situation with tours in January as I believe that it is the month with the heaviest rain in Java? Will we be restricted in the areas we can travel to because of the rain? I am 72 years old, though reasonably fit for my age, is this tour suitable and are their increased risks of falling during the rainy season?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2025

      Our itineraries are designed for everyone from 12+ so should you wish to join you are most welcome. Safety is our priority so should the itinerary have any safety risks due to heavy weather the local office will advise us and we will adjust accordingly. I would recommend bringing sturdy shoes with nice grip.

      Thank you, an arrival transfer is $60 from Jakarta airport, and a departure transfer is $20 back to Bali Denpasar airport. The start accommodation we currently use is Erian Hotel.

    Robin

    Asked on December 24th, 2024

    I'm very interested in the 9-day Java Tour and am meeting some friends in Bali on/around 18 April so this fits in very well with that schedule. Would it be possible for me to leave the tour on Day 8 and make my way up to Seminyak to meet my friends at a villa that they've booked there?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten December 2024

      You are more than welcome to fly with the group, but instead of driving to Sanur you can ask the CEO to help you arrange transportation from the airport to Seminyak. Unfortunately, we won't be able to offer a discount for any services missed and the additional transfer will have to be at your own cost. You will need to sign off the tour once you arrive at the airport with the help of the CEO.
