Yogyakarta Day trips

Our driver, Romy, is super friendly and helpful. He took a good care of us during the tour, made sure we are hydrated (you know how hot it can be in Indonesia). Guides are super recommended too if you want to learn on the buildings and the history behind (we know nothing before this trip). It's a worth to stay longer in Prambanan for the sunset.

It was my first time doing either and/or both the activities. trying not to fall while walking on the slippery mud was quite interesting. tubing on a current of water was quite fun. but apart from all this, Eza, our driver, was fun and friendly and always helpful. He said yes to everything we asled for. He even took us to the Kopi Luwak place even though that wasn’t on the itinerary.

Had a smooth sailing trip to both Borobudur and Prambanan Temple thanks to our guide AG. He was really attentive at accommodating to our needs and made sure we were comfortable. He also recommended a few eating spots and helped us out when we needed some other tour arrangements.

Wow! an experience like I have never imagined!!! so the day started with waking up at 6:30 and getting picked up by our lovely driver. the drive was about 1.5hours to the first location ( Jomblong Cave) so you have some time to nap, however roads aren’t smooth about an hour in so get ready for a bumpy ride. we settled in for about 40mins, drank lovely tea and changed into the boots and helmet. Be sure to bring some long socks so the mud doesn’t go to your feet! and wear light clothes as it gets sooo hot there (may depend on weather) we explored the cave and took the best photos ever. then made our way back up and had some beautiful dishes (small portion for me though) we then went to do the river tubing and that was even better. make sure to wear swimming clothes as you get so many opportunities to swim and even jump into the water. I Will never forget this day 100% worth it

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! 💯

It was very helpful that our guide, Hery, could speak Japanese. The weather looked bad, and it seemed like we wouldn't be able to see the sunrise, so they allowed us to delay the start time the day before. As it turned out, it cleared up, so we might have been able to see it, but the delayed start was probably better for our energy levels.

Borobudur and Prambanan are must-visit, reflecting the Buddhism and Hinduism footprints in Yogyakarta. Opted for this itinerary as others offered sunrise option. Driver Joko was very punctual and patient. He brought us to Borobuddur and accompanied us until the in-house guide took over. The tour in the temple was well-organised and limited to 150pax per hour. Everyone has to wear special slippers to protect the relics, and can be kept as momento after the tour (a bag is given for your shoes). At the 2nd stop, we transferred to a jeep and was shown 2 spots at Mt Merapi, there is an option to see the bunker or Kali Kuning (Yellow River) for the 3rd spot. It was cloudy so we couldnt see the peak. Final stop at Prambanan, we paid for in-house guide, which helped us to understand the complex better. Besides main complex, do take the paid buggy to Sewu temple (walking isnt so interesting). Heard that nearby Keraton Ratu Boko is nice for sunset but weather wasnt ideal during my time there.

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.
