Coisas para fazer em Yogyakarta

The Borobudur tour was quite the experience! Our guide Trisno (not sure if that's the correct name) enlightened us with the history and philosophy of the temple. Prambanan was also good, we did not have enough money for a tour guide. Also, our drivers Sulis and Adit were very friendly

¡Guau! ¡Una experiencia como nunca imaginé! El día comenzó despertándonos a las 6:30 y siendo recogidos por nuestro encantador conductor. El viaje fue de aproximadamente 1.5 horas hasta la primera ubicación (Cueva Jomblong), así que tienes tiempo para una siesta; sin embargo, las carreteras no son lisas después de una hora, así que prepárate para un viaje con baches. Nos acomodamos durante unos 40 minutos, bebimos un té delicioso y nos pusimos las botas y el casco. ¡Asegúrate de traer calcetines largos para que el barro no te llegue a los pies! Y usa ropa ligera, ya que hace mucho calor allí (puede depender del clima). Exploramos la cueva y tomamos las mejores fotos. Luego regresamos y disfrutamos de unos platos hermosos (aunque la porción era pequeña para mí). Después fuimos a hacer tubing en el río y eso fue aún mejor. Asegúrate de usar ropa de baño, ya que tendrás muchas oportunidades para nadar e incluso saltar al agua. ¡Nunca olvidaré este día, valió la pena al 100%!

It was my first time doing either or both 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 asked 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.

The transfer was wonderful; our driver was attentive to all our needs and very kind. The guide at the temple was very pleasant and humorous. Honestly, it's a highly recommended experience for understanding part of the island's historical culture. It's well-preserved, despite being a surviving temple, and the surrounding views are fantastic.

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.

Borobudur and Prambanan are must-visit destinations, reflecting the Buddhist and Hindu heritage in Yogyakarta. We chose this itinerary because others offered a sunrise option. Our driver, Joko, was very punctual and patient. He took us to Borobudur and stayed with us until the in-house guide took over. The temple tour was well-organized and limited to 150 people per hour. Everyone had to wear special slippers to protect the relics, which could be kept as a souvenir after the tour (a bag was provided for your shoes). At the second stop, we transferred to a jeep and were shown two spots at Mount Merapi; there was an option to see the bunker or Kali Kuning (Yellow River) for the third spot. It was cloudy, so we couldn't see the peak. Our final stop was Prambanan, where we paid for an in-house guide, which helped us understand the complex better. Besides the main complex, do take the paid buggy to Sewu Temple (walking isn't very interesting). I heard that the nearby Ratu Boko Palace is nice for sunset, but the weather wasn't ideal during my visit.

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!

Our driver, Romy, was pleasant and fun to talk to. He contacted us the day before to confirm the pickup time, was punctual, and his vehicle was clean and comfortable. At the site, visitors descend according to a queue number system at 10 am. Our queue number was 18, and we waited around 45 minutes for our turn. As other reviewers have mentioned, the trek into the cave can get quite muddy and slippery, so proper clothing definitely helps. I slipped a few times, but thanks to my long tights and long-sleeved shirt, I only ended up with minor bruises and scratches. Tip: bring a hair cover and long socks if you feel iffy about the provided helmet and boots. There was also some waiting inside the cave as everyone queued for photos at different spots, but time passed quickly and the cave itself was stunning and absolutely worth visiting. We also added Kalisuci cave tubing to our itinerary. IMO, this is a great way to spend the afternoon after exploring Jomblang Cave in the morning.
