It was perfect! Our driver is Danang and he was very polite, spoke very good English, and took care of us very well. Prambanan temple ground is closed on Mondays (only the park is open) and the tour agency was flexible enough for us to do another temple nearby. We also had a chance to visit famous local cafes with a view of Merapi and the temples. I went with my Korean family and they were all very satisfied. Highly recommended tour!
Due to raining when we reached Merapi Jeep activity, we did not stop for group photo taking. Although a bit disappointed but we are still enjoyed as this is new experience to us. At the Prambanan temple, we only visit the main temple out of 4 temples. The other 3 temples more smaller(refer to photos).
Had a wonderful time with our guide, Luthfi, who was very kind and helpful as our guide and driver. He recommended a fantastic guide named Jono, at the Prambanan temple to take us around and also brought us to get Kopi Luwak and the best Nasi Padang for lunch as well. For the jeep tour, I was very grateful to have Simul, who could tell us a lot about the museum on the eruption and also take amazing and professional standard photos and video for us! I have so many memories to take home with me because of these wonderful guides. This is one trip that is so satisfying and brilliant for anyone who wants a good half day experience in Yogyakarta
We started the tour on a cloudy day with our tour guide Antoni. After arriving at a base camp, we took a jeep ride with Arif to a local museum, which featured a village lost in Merapi’s eruption in 2010. Later we got loser to Merapi but could barely see it. Then we were offered another option: riding a jeep in water, which was thrilling and energizing. Around noon, Antoni guided us to the entrance of Prambanan and briefly introduced us its six structures and the three Buddist temples in the area. With Antoni’s patience, we fully admired Prambana and Sewu Temple until 17:00.
We had a great time on this tour! Our driver Andi was very friendly and helpful throughout the tour. We visited the Prambanan Temple (and 3 smaller temples in the same area) and was very fortunate to be able to enter the temples as it was previously closed. The Merapi jeep ride was quite an experience and is one of the highlight of our trip. Would highly recommend this activity to anyone who visit Jogja!
Value for money as lunch is provided and no extra top up needed. Jeep ride was bumpy but fun. Tour guide at temple need top up.
The driver/ tour guide Udik was fantastic. He arrived at our hotel on time and brought us around Prambanan Temple, showing us all the best photography shots and even poses. Be sure not to miss the other smaller (actually not so small) temples within the Prambanan Complex (e.g. Sewu Temple). The Jeep tour up merapi was great as well and we were fortunate to have that seen Merapi open up just enough to see the peak.
Love the Jeep ride around the various attractions around Merapi. It was refreshing and exciting, and my family enjoyed it a lot. Prambanan Temple was impressive as well. But there were a lot of steps, and the compound grounds were huge. It was a little taxing for my elderly parents. All in all, we enjoyed the day!
Our driver was Prima, very happy and jolly person. He drove the vehicle carefully and helped us around the temple campus.
We went to Merapi Jeep Tour and Prambanan Tour. Our supir, Pak Luthfi pick us up at 8am, and we went straight to Merapi Jeep Tour. The jeep tour was so fun and worth every penny! We went to mini museum where the artifacts from the 2010 eruption is stored. We also went to the lost world where we were able to take nice photo of Merapi. The final course is the so called waterpark fun. The course was super great!! Then we went to have lunch at Satria Resto Prambanan and the food was just fine. The ambiance of paddy field is super nice! Next, we went to Prambanan. It is scorching hot so we only able to went straight to Candi Prambanan, took some photos and went back to our hotel. The whole journey ends at 1pm as we spent only 1 hour in Prambanan complex. Overall, the trip was pleasant. Pak Luthfi was a great driver and friendly.
