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.

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.

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.

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 !

Pickup was punctual and the car was clean and comfortable. We were afforded adequate time to spend at each attraction and our driver, Mr Juna recommended a nice restaurant that served local food by the paddy fields for lunch which was very near Prambanan temple.

I had a truly lovely experience on the Borobudur and Prambanan temple tour today. Everything was smooth, well-organized, and enjoyable from start to finish. The guides were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind, they made the history come alive without it ever feeling overwhelming. Special shout out to my driver, Ujee, absolute legend. He went above and beyond, not just driving me safely but also taking extra time to show me around and share local insights. You can tell he really cares about giving people a great experience, not just doing his job. Highly recommend this tour if you want to explore these incredible temples comfortably, with great people and even better vibes.

It was one of the hoghlights of our trip to Jogja. Joko is a decent English speaker, something that's quite difficult to find in Jogja. Because of this, he was able to help add some info about the tour, like details about the cave, some buildings we were passing through that we asked him about. He was also well versed with the process and queue. As for the experience, it truly is exciting to rapel up and down. The hike needs physical effort and fitness as the trail is muddy, steep, slippery and dark. The cave crew were really helpful and nice.

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!
