We can wholeheartedly recommend this tour. Our guide, Angelina, is simply excellent. She shared so much about the food, drinks, history, and more. The food was absolutely top-notch; it encouraged us to try things we probably wouldn't have otherwise. It was very well-planned, and we had a lot of fun.

Enjoyed learning about jamu a lot. Such a special place and kind people. Went to the market, and helped in every step of making the Jamu. Even got advice on my girlfriends skin condition. Definitely recommend!

The cave experience was absolutely fantastic and incredibly beautiful, and I was so lucky to have such great weather. The driver, Joni, was exceptionally nice. He kindly reminded me to be careful whenever the road conditions were rough. Afterwards, he even took the initiative to bring me to try some Luwak coffee, which was a lovely bonus experience!

Beautiful sunrise from the Merapi mountain and Borobudur is a must-visit in Yogyakarta. Just a bit pity that we couldn’t clearly see the Merapi volcano during the Jeep tour because the sky was too cloudy.

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!

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 have booked this Solo Trip via Klook. But really had a nice time enjoying and exploring the various history of Merapi. Really mesmerizing. Both the Car and Jeep Drivers were nice. Very professional and genuine.

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.

What to know before visiting Yogyakarta

What to do in Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta’s busiest bookings centre on Tours, followed by Events & shows and Massages, with Cultural experiences and Zoos & aquariums also popular — a mix of guided day trips and live cultural programming that shapes the year. Klook booking data shows demand is very quiet through much of the year but surges in August, so plan around that rhythm. For travellers from the United States deciding when to visit, choose between lively festival-season atmosphere and quieter months for more relaxed sightseeing. All observations here are based on Klook booking data.

Best time to visit Yogyakarta

August is the clear high point for demand while April is the quietest month, and prices generally rise into the busy season. Klook booking data shows August is both the busiest month and the priciest month on average, while March and several shoulder months offer lower typical prices — a useful contrast if you want fewer crowds and lower costs. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider months outside August and September; for peak-season atmosphere book around August.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January Very quiet USD 16
February Very quiet USD 20
March Very quiet USD 7
April Very quiet USD 21
May Very quiet USD 8
June Very quiet USD 8
July Very quiet USD 17
August Peak demand USD 24
September Peak demand USD 16
October Busier than usual USD 18
November Very quiet USD 18
December Very quiet USD 16

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Where to stay in Yogyakarta

Kraton is the most affordable district on Klook with a typical nightly rate around USD 23, while Danurejan is the priciest at typically USD 77, a gap of roughly 70% between them according to Klook booking data. Cheaper neighbourhoods like Kraton tend to suit budget-minded travellers and anyone prioritising saving on accommodation to spend on tours and experiences. Higher-priced districts such as Danurejan usually appeal to travellers wanting a more upscale hotel experience and comforts that come with higher nightly rates. All figures are from Klook booking data.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most travellers from the United States book close to arrival — Klook booking data shows people typically book about 2 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking around 9 days out — so you can be flexible, but expect demand and prices to climb for August. If you prefer flexibility, many experiences remain bookable at short notice; if you want specific dates in busy August, lock them in earlier. Use Klook to check availability and secure tickets or tours in advance when visiting in peak months, while enjoying the option to book nearer your trip during quieter periods.
