We, as a group of 23, went on one of Darwin's first tours of Java and Bali in May (I think) of 2015.  It was a full and very fun and interesting trip.  I was on the older side of the group and have back problems and breathing problems.  He took such good care of me the few times I needed help.  He was very attentive to all of us, and we could tell how much he cared.  He sent some of our group, and others, a Christmas greeting even though he is not a Christian.  Some of us stay in touch.  He made us CDs and gave us gheckos for our key rings.  We met some of his family, of which he is very proud.  It was a neat trip - my first time to that culture and I would say everything was great except some of the food I couldn't eat, but certainly not his fault.

On a recent trip to Indonesia, Darwin Masanang was my guide in Yogyakarta, escorting me to Borobudur and Prambanan.  Darwin was an exceptional guide, amongst the best I have experienced on five continents over 30 years of personal travel.  Not only is his knowledge extremely extensive, he is attentive, a pleasure to keep company with, and he anticipates his client's best interest.  Darwin puts his heart in his work, and having him as your guide will truly enhance your experience and your appreciation of the destination!

To whom it may concern:

Darwin was our guide on the Java and Bali tour we took last year with Vantage. He is very knowledgeable, and always happy, and smiling trying to please us even going out of his way to do so. I would highly recommend him.
