Kundha Kabudayan DIY is one of them, in order to introduce the history and culture of Yogyakarta, Jogja Heritage Track bus tour program was created.

Using a questionnaire as a research instrument distributed to 100 Jogja Heritage Track tourists. The results of the quantitative descriptive analysis indicate that tourists have experienced the "very good" category during their Jogja Heritage Track journey across all seven variables of the bus travel experience.
