Yogyakarta Jednodenní výlety

The tour of Borobudur and Prambanan temples was thoroughly satisfying. Although the government entrance fees are high, the preservation, restoration, and maintenance efforts are befitting of a World Heritage site. The park transportation and the detailed explanations from the guides made it well worth the cost. PRAS, who explained Borobudur, was fluent in Japanese and shared stories about visits from the Imperial Family and how JICA, with Japanese ODA, helped with the site's development. His explanations of the history and reliefs were also excellent. For lunch, we ate at a delicious restaurant on the way to Prambanan. The daytime temperatures were high, and we were quite tired after Borobudur in the morning, so we only visited the main areas of Prambanan. Our driver, Romy, was a friendly young man who loved Japanese anime and kept us entertained with engaging conversation during the long journey. He was also skilled at photography and took some great pictures for us. This tour comes highly recommended.

It was a great experience. It was dry season in September so Jomblang Cave wasn't as muddy as expected. The view was stunning and surreal. The staff were patient and dedicated to keep us safe and helped us take many nice photos. After lunch, the journey at Pindul Cave was as enjoyable. Despite me unable to swim, I felt safe while floating down to river on the tube. You can see that the guide was dedicated to bring the best experience.

it's considerably more expensive than if you were to organize yourself, BUT, I think it's worth it. My driver Adit was very helpful, and punctual. He also very friendly and provided me with a lot of information. The trip was smooth, he helped handle all the tickets, processes. The car was spacious , clean and had bottled water and tissue ready. I got to cover 2 temple complexes within a morning. I would recommend to someone wanting to travel without fuse, save energy for exploring and wants something time-efficient and safe.

Domluva ohledně vyzvednutí byla den předem dobře komunikována a agentura jasně zodpověděla naše dodatečné otázky ohledně upgradu na střední a dlouhou trasu. Řidič nás také přesně vyzvedl z hotelu a předal nás řidiči džípu (zároveň průvodci). Pohled na východ slunce u bunkru upřímně nebyl nejlepší ve srovnání s jinými východy slunce, které jsem zažil v Indonésii, ale pohled na Merapi zblízka, když je slunce nahoře, je skutečně dechberoucí a ranní chlad je plusem. Průvodce byl velmi přátelský a ochotný, ale jelikož angličtina nebyla jeho rodným jazykem, vysvětlení ohledně erupcí atd. na různých zastávkách se stala opakujícími se – nestěžuji si, jen sdílím. Na jedné ze zastávek jsme se mohli setkat se sovami, což byl pro mě jako milovníka zvířat překvapivý bonus!! Přešli jsme na dlouhou trasu a výlet začal ve 4 ráno a do hotelu jsme se vrátili kolem 9 ráno. Vezměte si bundu, pokud se bojíte zimy; vítr na kůži během jízdy džípem ráno může být mrazivý.

Vše proběhlo hladce. Náš řidič, Romy, nás vyzvedl z hotelu včas. Jak poskytovatel, tak i Romy nás předem kontaktovali ohledně naší prohlídky a itineráře. Romy byl přátelský, informativní a poskytl nám úžasný zážitek! Během naší prohlídky Borobuduru jsme se toho hodně naučili, a to díky panu Murovi, který toho hodně věděl o historii a mytologii 😅 Celý náš itinerář trval 6 hodin, včetně doby cestování. Celkově velmi příjemný zážitek. Určitě si znovu zarezervujeme, pokud se vrátíme do Jogji! 💯

The Borobudur sunrise tour was truly amazing, and our guide Wahyu made it even better -he arrived an hour early, kept perfect time, and gave insightful explanations throughout. ***Now about the Borobudur: The temple itself is breathtaking, though we were a bit disappointed to see some visitors sitting on the ancient structure despite the guide clearly stating it's not allowed. Given that it's a UNESCO-protected site, we feel more staff should be stationed at the top to gently enforce these simple rules. Also, the free time felt quite rushed one hour wasn't quite enough to fully take in the grandeur of the place.

Původně jsem váhal, zda si tento zájezd objednat, protože nebyl zrovna levný. Ale po zhlédnutí představení jsem litoval jen toho, že jsem si ho neobjednal dříve, protože představení bylo opravdu úžasné a dokonce i jedenáctileté dítě ho sledovalo s nadšením. Důvodem, proč lituji, že jsem si ho neobjednal dříve, je, že jsme si zájezd objednali příliš pozdě, takže jsme si nemohli vychutnat večeři v areálu, což je ta největší škoda. Kdybychom mohli večeřet s výhledem na chrám v areálu, věřím, že by to cestu ještě vylepšilo. Nicméně průvodce udělal maximum, aby naše cesta byla perfektní, a my jsme si areál také velmi užili. Doporučuji všem, kteří tam chtějí jet, aby si rezervovali včas.

I had a wonderful experience with Thoriq at Prambanan Temple. He was very flexible and always adjusted the itinerary and timing to my preferences. He also explained about the temple beforehand in the car, which made the visit even more enjoyable. He was genuinely kind, thoughtful, and friendly throughout the trip. Although I explored the temple on my own, the meeting arrangements were clear and I could enjoy the temple at my own pace. Prambanan Temple was absolutely beautiful, and I really enjoyed it from before sunset through to the sunset itself. When I asked for a restaurant recommendation, he kindly suggested a great place and even drove me there afterward. I really appreciated his kindness and flexibility, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Prambanan!

A good choice for nature lovers, the cave, the sea view, are awesome. Guides are super friendly, they took good care of everyone, and they took the best photos and videos. Our driver, Rinto, tried his best to chat with us during the drive, although English may not be comfortable to him.
