Things to do in Yogyakarta

We got Nicko as a driver and he was great. The car was clean and comfortable and he was very attentive and provided tips on what to do. The tour overall was interesting but per the description, it requires a good amount of walking and climbing so make sure you're up for it. Highly recommend the local tour at Prambanan Temple instead of going around yourself. Nicko helped us arrange for the local guide and we got Ricco and he was very knowledgeable and funny, made the experience very good.

Mount Merapi is definitely a must go attraction in Yogyakarta. Where can u can get close to a live volcano which is still having a small eruption 2 months ago. We were brought close the 4km radius but unfortunately we couldn't see the top bcos of the cloud. But on the way to the place, were able to see the whole volcano from the car. The jeep driver which is also our guide could speak good English and able to explain all the stuff and being a local who lives within 6km radius when it last had a big eruption in 2009/10. The jeep ride was an experience for my wife and kids. The water ride through the river bed, if want to do it, must wear rain coat. U will definitely get wet. We chose not to do it as I think even with rain coat, it will still get wet. Moreover, it was quite a dry river bed and when the jeep rode over, brought water and sands as well.

this is for the adventure seekers. really fun drop down Jomblang cave - you really need to set aside fear and go for it. the cave itself is easy to navigate with the crew. they will hold your hand on the muddy steps and help take photos. worth it! wear something waterproof, maybe need long tights or long pants and long socks. but all your clothes will get dirty so bring a new set of clothes to change. wear slippers there to change to their boots. a tip is to buy a cheap head lamp from Daiso for this trip! the river tubing is also very relaxed after the cave. great helpful guides.

The Prambana temple visit was fantastic and good. The driver Pak Anton picked us up from the hotel and coordinate well with us. We had a good time overall.

Worth the amount paid ! Friendly driver and the private tour provided flexibility. Pick us up earlier as we requested when we were ready. Provided suggestions for extra itineraries but driver was not demanding that we must take up !

Our driver today was Nikco. He was on time, able to explain and ensure that all scheduled trips were fulfilled well. The tour event itself was good. Great moments with kids and friends.

the driver Nicki service is excellent, before picking up, check everything very careful, during the trip provide the good care, and recommend good guide in prambanan, let me understand deeper about the history. in summary, this is good traveling experience.

I love it so much! This is my first time joining a tour, I took the private day tour so it was only me and my driver (Pak Hotma) who is very kind, friendly and he helped me take my photos since I am a solo traveller. We went up to Borobudur temple together because I wanted to experience it with him. During my Jeep tour to active volcano Mount Merapi, he patiently waited for me for 2 hours while I finish my tour. He also brought me to the most delicious restaurant ever and we had such a great time. He is also a very good driver (I fell asleep after all my tours in his car) and he was very punctual. For the tour, I only needed to buy Borobudur temple ticket (online, they will help you) and the Jeep tour ticket (at the counter). 10000% would recommend.

A wonderful experience! The buffet dinner was excellent and very varied, also suitable for vegetarians, vegans, and those with intolerances. The staff was kind enough to seat us together even though we had made separate reservations, and they even accommodated our request to sit in the front row facing the ballet. The show was very engaging, much better than the ones we saw in Ubud, Bali. The covered stage in an amphitheater made the atmosphere even more immersive. A must-do if you are in Yogyakarta!
