Yogyakarta Day trips

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.

Romy from Tejong Asia was an excellent tour guide. He arrived early to pick us up and was able to drop us off at different locations along the way so we could get the things we needed, such as breakfast, water, and iced drinks. He was very accommodating throughout the trip. he also edited the videos for us; he took photos and videos for the tour. He took the initiative to make a video on his own, and it was super cute and high quality. He also prepared plastic bags for us after the tour because he knew that our clothes would be wet, which was very helpful. Thank you, Romy. Anni from Pindol cave and gave us the best tour and even gave me his slippers because I lost mine in the water while he walked on the rocks barefoot and carried our rubber tubing for us, truly the best experience booking this tour. highly recommend for anyone looking to do smth fun in Jogja!

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.

This was my very first time visiting a volcano, and I did it solo I had an absolutely amazing experience. Huge thanks to Mas Uji from De Jong Asia Holidays for being such an incredible guide. Since I was traveling alone, he made sure I was safe and well taken care of the entire time. Knowing that it gets freezing up there, he even borrowed a blanket for me, prepared meals, and served warm ginger tea such thoughtful details Overall, I loved this trip so much. Highly recommended, especially if you're traveling solo😊

Everything went on smoothly. Our driver, Romy, picked us up from our hotel on time. Both provider and Romy contacted us ahead of time in terms of our tour and itinerary. Romy was friendly, informative and gave us an awesome experience! We have learned so much from our Borobudur tour, c/o Mr. Mura who knew a lot about history and mythology 😅 Our whole itinerary lasted 6 hours, including travel time. Overall a very nice experience. Will surely book again if we go back to Jogja! 💯

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.

Jomblang Cave might seem intimidating and daunting, but everything is organized with safety as the top priority; once you descend and enter, that fear vanishes, replaced by the beauty of the light streaming into the cave. The local guides were also excellent and friendly. Timang Beach is stunning, and the jeep ride to get there—traversing the terrain—made the journey an exciting adventure. A big thank you to my driver for the day; he was punctual, polite, friendly, and attentive throughout. He captured precious moments by taking fantastic photos and videos. Driver Budi came highly recommended by my agency, De Jong Asia Holidays. Thank you for arranging everything for today; I thoroughly enjoyed the activities.

Our guide, Dian, was truly amazing! We hit it off right away. He answered our questions without hesitation and guided us very well along the routes, even when he wasn't present during the actual visits. He didn't hesitate to introduce us to little extra sights and let us taste local products. The places he recommended for breakfast and lunch were fantastic! As for the itinerary: we couldn't enjoy the sunrise because of the clouds, but the setting was still quite pretty and relaxing. Regarding the Borobudur Temple, everything was very well organized, complete with a guide. The site is beautiful! As for the second Hindu temple, we couldn't see everything because we only had 2 hours, but the site is very large and we were approached by charming students on numerous occasions! The temples are magnificent. During the trip, water was handed out to us several times, and there was air conditioning in the car. Thank you, Dian!

I was initially hesitant about spending money on this tour, as it wasn't cheap. However, after watching the show, my only regret was not booking it sooner, because the performance was truly spectacular; even my 11-year-old child thoroughly enjoyed it. The reason I regret not booking earlier is that we booked too late, which meant we couldn't have dinner inside the park. This was the most regrettable part; I believe dining with a view of the temple within the park would have made the trip even better. Nevertheless, the tour guide did their best to make our trip perfect, and we had a great time exploring the park. I highly recommend it to anyone considering going, but definitely book early.
