Yogyakarta Passeios

O passeio por Borobudur foi uma grande experiência! Nosso guia Trisno (não tenho certeza se é o nome correto) nos iluminou com a história e a filosofia do templo. Prambanan também foi bom, mas não tínhamos dinheiro suficiente para um guia turístico. Além disso, nossos motoristas Sulis e Adit foram muito simpáticos.

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

Foi a minha primeira vez a fazer uma e/ou ambas as atividades. Tentar não cair enquanto caminhava na lama escorregadia foi bastante interessante. Descer o rio em boia foi muito divertido. Mas, para além de tudo isto, o Eza, o nosso motorista, foi divertido, simpático e sempre prestável. Ele disse sim a tudo o que pedimos. Ele até nos levou ao local do Kopi Luwak, mesmo que não estivesse no itinerário.

Tivemos uma viagem tranquila para Borobudur e o Templo Prambanan graças ao nosso guia AG. Ele foi muito atencioso em atender às nossas necessidades e garantiu que estivéssemos confortáveis. Ele também recomendou alguns lugares para comer e nos ajudou quando precisamos de outros arranjos de passeios.

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, 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.

The most important thing when visiting a World Heritage site is the tour guide's knowledge, but unfortunately, the guide we encountered gave very brief introductions and spent more time taking pictures. We were envious seeing other groups getting thorough guided tours. If you sign up to watch the sunrise at the temple, the tour ends at 9 am, not the scheduled 1 pm, but the driver will recommend additional paid excursions. For this tour, breakfast is eaten on the ground level inside the temple, but if you book the temple tour directly, you'll be taken to a high point overlooking the temple for breakfast, which is much more beautiful.

Romy was a great guide and great English. Fantastic day plenty of time to see everything. We had breakfast at the Chicken church after sunrise for additional cost. Temples and Merapi were amazing. would recommend. Just keep in mind it’s a big day and by the time you get to Prambanan you are feeling the heat but there are shuttles for extra cost
