Bima was the absolute best! Picked me up early at my out-of-the-way hotel in Solo, great conversation in very good English that made the ride feel short, made sure I had everything I needed for my temple visits, including water and an umbrella. Told me the story of Rama and Sita with the Prambanan murals so I would understand the Ramayana ballet. Even climbed a tree (against my objections) to pick rambutans for me because I had said I liked them. This was an amazing day that I will remember for the rest of my life. Thank you, Bima!

Both temples were incredible. The early morning climb up Borobudur was worth it even with overcast skies. The sense of peace and sound of the breeze and birds. — only about 20 people up there with you. You can take such nice pictures without all the people around. Our Borobudur guide, Alvin, had so much information for the group. He really, really added to the whole experience. My Viator driver, Matt, was super organized and right on time. He was very patient with all my questions. As always, I’m impressed with other cultures’ command of the English language. I sadly only know English. Again, such friendly, kind people — truly enjoyable experience.

It's wonderful. The tour operator communicated with via WhatsApp before I even embarked on my journey. My driver/tour guide, Utama picked me up promptly at my hotel. He was friendly and we had a nice conversation along the way. At my request, he made two extra stops. Im truly enjoy this tour.

Ditch the stress when you book this tour. Let your driver deal with the crazy traffic and the super knowledgeable guides show you the cool stuff in Jakarta. As a solo traveler, I felt super safe with my guide Haidar - he was like a buddy showing me around. We chatted about everything and anything, no topic was off-limits. It was a blast. Always awesome to learn more about the places you visit with a guide who's a total gentleman.

My guide Atok was outstanding! He made the day go smoothly even though the weather did not. He made sure I had ample time for naps in between sites given our 3am departure. There were clouds at Borobudur so not much sunrise visible, but still a great option to get moody atmospheric photos in the twilight and to climb when it is not yet hot. Great breakfast and leisurely time. Mt Merapi was also hidden by clouds but we saw the local sites. Kind of a weird place - a solemn museum and then an amusement park and people taking cheeky photos at a place where people died in the eruption. At Prambanan, Atok guided me around the main temple and took several great photos and videos. The sun was finally out and the rocks are so hot it feels like a furnace. He let me explore on my own after that and the eventual rain was a relief. Don’t miss Sewu at the far end of the complex - it is very cool. Word of caution - if you don’t catch the shuttle at the start they won’t let you ride it on the way back. Just be prepared because the walk back definitely feels longer. Got back to the hotel around 3pm. Very long day but well worth it!

We booked this tour as we wanted to have a stress-free visit of the two main temples and the volcano and I must say this was a great tour! The organization was perfect and everything in the day went smoothly, we did not have to worry about anything apart from enjoying the activities. Our driver was Fajar and we had a really fun time together! He was really friendly and we spoke about Indonesian culture, knowledge and life in general, great atmosphere to make the rides pass by faster! Fajar was perfectly on time and made sure all was clear for us at the temples, accompanying us to the temple guides and getting us in practical meet-up points. He also brought several water bottles and was open to make various stops if we needed to. We really had a great time. Highly recommended!!

Amazing trip! The rice terraces were absolutely stunning, and the hidden waterfall makes impression. Selogriyo Temple has such a peaceful vibe, and the whole trek was the perfect mix of adventure and chill. Our guide Sigit was super friendly with extensive knowledge. Great escape from the crowded city — totally worth it!

Our guide was Vega for the day, and we could have not been luckier with him! He made the tour smooth! We started with Borobodur, and we did not have to stand in line at all, caught the 8:30 guided tour! It was breathtaking! Then thr Jeep tour and finally the Prambanan complex! Between activities we had plenty of time to chill, and Vega told us stories about everyday life in Yogya! We had a blast! We expected a lot from the UNESCO wonders, but this tour made it even better!
