Yogyakarta Tours

We were warmly greeted by Mr. Joko, our tour driver, early in the morning. He was friendly, punctual, and very responsible throughout our journey to Prambanan and Borobudur Temple. Even though both places were packed with crowds that day, he managed our time really well and made sure we could enjoy the trip without feeling too rushed. He also recommended some delicious local roadside restaurants along the way, which was a lovely bonus! A big thumbs up to Mr. Joko for his excellent service, thoughtful arrangements, and responsible management throughout the entire journey. Highly recommended! 👍🏻

Arrangement for pick up was well communicated the day before and agency clearly addressed the additional questions we had on the medium & long route upgrade. Driver was also punctual to pick us up from hotel and handed us over to the jeep driver (also guide). The sunrise view at the bunker honestly wasn’t the best compared to other sunrise I’ve caught in Indo, but the close up view of Merapi when sun is up is truly breathtaking, and the coolness in the morning is a plus. The guide was very friendly and helpful, but with English not being his first language, explanations regarding the eruptions etc. at the various stops became repetitive - not complaining, just sharing. Got to interact with some owls at one of the stops which was a surprise bonus for an animal lover myself!! We upgraded to long route and trip started at 4am and we reached back hotel around 9am. Bring a jacket if you’re afraid of cold; the wind against your skin on the jeep ride in the morn can be chilling.

Both caves were incredibly interesting. Although we arrived a bit late at Jomblang Cave due to the drive, joining the third group, our overall experience wasn't shortened, and it was still a lot of fun. You can see that the people in this small village rely on the cave for their livelihood; it's a very simple and authentic place. Lunch was simple yet delicious. The tubing at Pindul Cave in the afternoon was even more enjoyable, offering a unique way to get close to nature. I loved it. While booking a private tour is more expensive than a group tour, I believe it offers great value for money because we had our own private transportation and could explore at our own pace. Our children, aged 11 and 13, were able to complete the activities independently. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Ujeee is the driver for our tour, he is punctual on picking us for our Sunrise tour in Borobudur. My friend and I was very well taken care of by Ujeee. Borobudur and Prambanan tour is a must when in Jogja! But with Ujeee, the experience become wholesome.

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! 💯

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.

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.

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.

Special thanks to our driver Mr. Luthfi Khairul. He speaks good English and had a good selection of English songs in the car. The journey was very enjoyable. Also he drove safely and arrived 10 minutes before our meeting time, which we appreciated very much.
