Yogya-Backpacker (YBP) Custom Tour Driver Team

Yogya-Backpacker (YBP) Tour Driver Team was out of my first plan actually. I had planned to make a travel blog as guidance for traveler in Yogyakarta (Jogja). But, along the way i found so many traveler asked about car rental and requested speak english driver. So, the Yogya-Backpacker (YBP) Tour Driver Team was started by me = Roni ‘Kunz’ Kuncoro, my elder brother Wahyu ‘Alex’ Kuncoro and my neighbor Krisna ‘Kris’. Along the time we shared our knowledge and shared the tips how to serve our customer better and better.

After time by time, the Yogya-Backpacker (YBP) Tour Driver Team growing and growing which is mean we can not handle all the guests by our small team, then I decided to add more driver and training the new driver with our standard services. Also i focus on accepting order from Whatsapp and email. I help our customer to make their itinerary. So, it will be effective and efficient trip, not rush and tiring trip for our guest and the driver as well.
