xXFreedomXx said it well. Much better to go alone, because freedom is priceless, but you must do your homework before: read all information, know where to go, what to do, how much to pay.
I always went alone indeed, since my first time. I enjoyed to explore all around step by step. Do not expect that everything will run perfectly. Have low expectations and you'll exceed them.
Then, be always very considerate in all behaviours: do not display big cash or values, never be arrogant in approaching people, no need to discuss with anyone, smile to everyone, even when you'd like to send someone to hell.
99% of people here is extremely nice and will appreciate your nice approach and kindeness. I love Indonesian people. The latter 1% does not deserve the smile, but they will not understand that you understood their negative mind and that your smile is fake. Good anyway. Smile, say thank you, and leave. As Nono say: no-quarrel policy and you go far.
