This Batik workshop was one of our favourite experiences in Jogja! We met Belinda and her mum at their cosy studio, a calming sanctuary surrounded by plants. They were incredibly patient, guiding us through every step and explaining how the techniques translate to commercial production. Belinda spoke excellent English and was so friendly. She encouraged us to create our own designs and even gave us tips to make them even prettier. We upgraded from the 2-hour to the 3-hour package so we could get our pieces dyed, and we were so glad we did! It gave us a real appreciation for the time and effort that goes into dyeing. Belinda and her mum were generous with their time and knowledge, and made us feel at home. Our finished pieces turned out far prettier than we imagined, thanks to their guidance. All in all, it was such a lovely afternoon and definitely an experience we will remember fondly! We left with such full hearts and, as a bonus, pretty souvenirs that we handcrafted ourselves. 💕

A truly fascinating experience. I highly recommend that anyone visiting Yogyakarta set aside an extra half-day for this. The gamelan master's daughter speaks excellent English, and the entire lesson was very detailed. We got to try five or six different instruments, and you don't need any musical background to have a great time. Gamelan is an ancient musical form, often using a pentatonic scale, that features an ensemble of various percussion instruments like gongs, metallophones, and drums. It frequently accompanies Javanese religious ceremonies, shadow puppet plays, or dance performances. Debussy was heavily influenced by gamelan, and you can even hear K.K. Slider play a version of it in Animal Crossing. The playing experience is very enjoyable, almost meditative, due to its relatively simple rhythms and abundant repetition. The teacher mentioned that a Chinese band called 'Wo Qi' (which means 'I'm angry') came to learn for a day last week, which was quite amusing. We looked it up and realized it was 'Frog Pond' (Wa Chi)... We'll definitely try to catch their performance if we get the chance when we go back.

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such an amazing experience! There were only three of us, my friend, another joiner, and me so the whole tour felt relaxed, personal, and never rushed. One thing I really appreciated was our driver/guide. He was very responsive on WhatsApp even before the tour, which gave us peace of mind. That was a huge difference from my previous experiences with other tours where communication was difficult. Jomblang Cave looked exactly like the photos and videos I'd been seeing online. The famous light from above is just as magical in real life, and it's definitely worth experiencing if you're visiting Java. Highly recommended if you're looking for a well-organized and personalized tour!

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.

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.

Interesting show to watch. Dis not avail the dinner buffet because I already ate but there’s also a cafe outside the amphitheater where, you can hangout while waiting for the show to open AT SEVEN THIRTY (7:30 PM). I just hope you have the option to choose your seat as seats on the side does not have a back rest. Nonetheless, it is worthwile seeing the show when in Jogja!

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! 💯

What to know before visiting Yogyakarta

Discover Yogyakarta’s cultural pulse and top activities

Yogyakarta is a compact cultural hub where tours, events & shows and hands-on cultural experiences dominate Klook bookings, and demand peaks strongly in the autumn months. The city’s rhythm is noticeable across the year: a big surge in visitor interest around September and quieter periods in spring.

When to visit for crowds and prices

Klook booking data shows demand peaks in September and hits a low in April. Prices drift through the year: the priciest month on Klook is typically November while December usually records the lowest typical prices. If you want smaller crowds and lower typical prices, aim for April or December; if you’re after the liveliest atmosphere and the busiest event calendar, visit in September or October. Demand and prices don’t move perfectly together here—September is busiest but November is often the most expensive—so choose based on whether atmosphere or lower cost matters more to you.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most Klook bookers heading to Yogyakarta typically finalise activities about four days ahead, with some last-minute bookings possible a day out and earlier planning useful if you’re travelling in peak months. For a flexible short trip from Malaysia, you can often book tours and shows a few days before travel; if you want specific dates or popular events in September–October, consider booking earlier. Use Klook to lock in activities when you’ve decided, while keeping options open until a few days before departure.
