Какво да правите в Yogyakarta

The Borobudur tour was quite the experience! Our guide Trisno (not sure if that's the correct name) enlightened us with the history and philosophy of the temple. Prambanan was also good, we did not have enough money for a tour guide. Also, our drivers Sulis and Adit were very friendly

Wow! an experience like I have never imagined!!! so the day started with waking up at 6:30 and getting picked up by our lovely driver. the drive was about 1.5hours to the first location ( Jomblong Cave) so you have some time to nap, however roads aren’t smooth about an hour in so get ready for a bumpy ride. we settled in for about 40mins, drank lovely tea and changed into the boots and helmet. Be sure to bring some long socks so the mud doesn’t go to your feet! and wear light clothes as it gets sooo hot there (may depend on weather) we explored the cave and took the best photos ever. then made our way back up and had some beautiful dishes (small portion for me though) we then went to do the river tubing and that was even better. make sure to wear swimming clothes as you get so many opportunities to swim and even jump into the water. I Will never forget this day 100% worth it

It was my first time doing either and/or both the activities. trying not to fall while walking on the slippery mud was quite interesting. tubing on a current of water was quite fun. but apart from all this, Eza, our driver, was fun and friendly and always helpful. He said yes to everything we asled for. He even took us to the Kopi Luwak place even though that wasn’t on the itinerary.

Had a smooth sailing trip to both Borobudur and Prambanan Temple thanks to our guide AG. He was really attentive at accommodating to our needs and made sure we were comfortable. He also recommended a few eating spots and helped us out when we needed some other tour arrangements.

The transfer was wonderful; our driver was attentive to all our needs and very kind. The guide at the temple was very pleasant and humorous. Honestly, it's a highly recommended experience for understanding part of the island's historical culture. It's well-preserved, despite being a surviving temple, and the surrounding views are fantastic.

My husband and I always dreamed of visiting the Borobudur and Prambanan temples and they are more majestic in person than in pictures. The van we were in is clean and smelled good. Ray our guide is a skilled, professional, and a pleasant guide. I highly recommend this tour.

Borobudur and Prambanan are must-visit, reflecting the Buddhism and Hinduism footprints in Yogyakarta. Opted for this itinerary as others offered sunrise option. Driver Joko was very punctual and patient. He brought us to Borobuddur and accompanied us until the in-house guide took over. The tour in the temple was well-organised and limited to 150pax per hour. Everyone has to wear special slippers to protect the relics, and can be kept as momento after the tour (a bag is given for your shoes). At the 2nd stop, we transferred to a jeep and was shown 2 spots at Mt Merapi, there is an option to see the bunker or Kali Kuning (Yellow River) for the 3rd spot. It was cloudy so we couldnt see the peak. Final stop at Prambanan, we paid for in-house guide, which helped us to understand the complex better. Besides main complex, do take the paid buggy to Sewu temple (walking isnt so interesting). Heard that nearby Keraton Ratu Boko is nice for sunset but weather wasnt ideal during my time there.

The most important thing when visiting a World Heritage site is the tour guide's knowledge, but unfortunately, the guide we encountered gave very brief introductions and spent more time taking pictures. We were envious seeing other groups getting thorough guided tours. If you sign up to watch the sunrise at the temple, the tour ends at 9 am, not the scheduled 1 pm, but the driver will recommend additional paid excursions. For this tour, breakfast is eaten on the ground level inside the temple, but if you book the temple tour directly, you'll be taken to a high point overlooking the temple for breakfast, which is much more beautiful.

Our driver, Romy, was pleasant and fun to talk to. He contacted us the day before to confirm the pickup time, was punctual, and his vehicle was clean and comfortable. At the site, visitors descend according to a queue number system at 10 am. Our queue number was 18, and we waited around 45 minutes for our turn. As other reviewers have mentioned, the trek into the cave can get quite muddy and slippery, so proper clothing definitely helps. I slipped a few times, but thanks to my long tights and long-sleeved shirt, I only ended up with minor bruises and scratches. Tip: bring a hair cover and long socks if you feel iffy about the provided helmet and boots. There was also some waiting inside the cave as everyone queued for photos at different spots, but time passed quickly and the cave itself was stunning and absolutely worth visiting. We also added Kalisuci cave tubing to our itinerary. IMO, this is a great way to spend the afternoon after exploring Jomblang Cave in the morning.
