Yogyakarta

Ang aming driver na si Romy ay napakabait at matulungin. Inalagaan niya kami nang husto sa buong tour, sinigurado niyang hydrated kami (alam niyo naman kung gaano kainit sa Indonesia). Ang mga guide ay lubos ding inirerekomenda kung gusto ninyong matuto tungkol sa mga gusali at sa kasaysayan sa likod nito (wala kaming alam bago ang biyaheng ito). Sulit na manatili nang mas matagal sa Prambanan para sa paglubog ng araw.

Arrangement for pick up was well communicated the day before and agency clearly addressed the additional questions we had on the medium & long route upgrade. Driver was also punctual to pick us up from hotel and handed us over to the jeep driver (also guide). The sunrise view at the bunker honestly wasn’t the best compared to other sunrise I’ve caught in Indo, but the close up view of Merapi when sun is up is truly breathtaking, and the coolness in the morning is a plus. The guide was very friendly and helpful, but with English not being his first language, explanations regarding the eruptions etc. at the various stops became repetitive - not complaining, just sharing. Got to interact with some owls at one of the stops which was a surprise bonus for an animal lover myself!! We upgraded to long route and trip started at 4am and we reached back hotel around 9am. Bring a jacket if you’re afraid of cold; the wind against your skin on the jeep ride in the morn can be chilling.

Both caves were incredibly interesting. Although we arrived a bit late at Jomblang Cave due to the drive, joining the third group, our overall experience wasn't shortened, and it was still a lot of fun. You can see that the people in this small village rely on the cave for their livelihood; it's a very simple and authentic place. Lunch was simple yet delicious. The tubing at Pindul Cave in the afternoon was even more enjoyable, offering a unique way to get close to nature. I loved it. While booking a private tour is more expensive than a group tour, I believe it offers great value for money because we had our own private transportation and could explore at our own pace. Our children, aged 11 and 13, were able to complete the activities independently. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Naging maayos ang lahat. Sinundo kami ng aming driver na si Romy sa aming hotel sa tamang oras. Parehong nakipag-ugnayan sa amin ang provider at si Romy nang maaga tungkol sa aming tour at itinerary. Si Romy ay palakaibigan, nagbigay ng maraming impormasyon at binigyan kami ng napakagandang karanasan! Marami kaming natutunan mula sa aming Borobudur tour, sa tulong ni Mr. Mura na maraming alam tungkol sa kasaysayan at mitolohiya 😅 Ang aming buong itinerary ay tumagal ng 6 na oras, kasama na ang oras ng biyahe. Sa pangkalahatan, isang napakagandang karanasan. Tiyak na magbu-book ulit kami kung babalik kami sa Jogja! 💯

Ujeee is the driver for our tour, he is punctual on picking us for our Sunrise tour in Borobudur. My friend and I was very well taken care of by Ujeee. Borobudur and Prambanan tour is a must when in Jogja! But with Ujeee, the experience become wholesome.

Our tour guide, Noor, was incredibly friendly. He arranged our day's itinerary according to our schedule, guided us on the best way to explore, and even helped us take beautiful photos. In Yogyakarta, both Borobudur and Prambanan are absolutely worth visiting, whether you go for sunrise, sunset, or during regular hours.

Kami ng aking asawa ay laging nangangarap na bisitahin ang mga templo ng Borobudur at Prambanan at mas kahanga-hanga pala ang mga ito sa personal kaysa sa mga larawan. Ang van na sinakyan namin ay malinis at mabango. Si Ray na aming gabay ay mahusay, propesyonal, at kaaya-ayang kasama. Lubos kong inirerekomenda ang tour na ito.

I was initially hesitant about spending money on this tour, as it wasn't cheap. However, after watching the show, my only regret was not booking it sooner, because the performance was truly spectacular; even my 11-year-old child thoroughly enjoyed it. The reason I regret not booking earlier is that we booked too late, which meant we couldn't have dinner inside the park. This was the most regrettable part; I believe dining with a view of the temple within the park would have made the trip even better. Nevertheless, the tour guide did their best to make our trip perfect, and we had a great time exploring the park. I highly recommend it to anyone considering going, but definitely book early.

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.
