Excellent tour of Prambanan temple and Ramayana Ballet

Faraj was our driver/guide, he took us to the show and brought us back to the hotel. He also provided us the tickets to the show. The dinner included was delicious with numerous vegetarian options. Ramayana ballet was a wonderful show, we thoroughly enjoyed the show.

I had a great experience...

I had a great experience with Utama as my driver/guide. The ride was very smooth, and Utama was very informative about the city and the temple. Sadly, the ballet was moved indoors due to the rain, but the onscreen subtitles explaining the scenes were helpful to a first-time viewer.

Superb day out visiting the temples

Great day out with Bima our guide. He was very knowledgeable and paced the day well. The temples are amazing but unfortunately we didn’t get to see the ballet as it was raining. Bima tried very hard to get us indoor tickets but there was limited capacity. Couldn’t fault Bima as he was exceptionally accommodating and went out of his way to help.

Delightful afternoon and evening

Our driver communicated well before the tour, was a very safe driver, and gave clear instructions when he wasn’t with us. Another guide took us thru Prambanan, then handed us back to Pras. Our buffet dinner was well-presented and tasty. Pras walked us to the theatre for the ballet and was just outside, easy to locate, when the ballet was over. A very enjoyable evening.

Fajar was great! So was the overall package.

Fajar was a great! He explained various aspects of Indonesian culture to us on the drive and also hand held us through the entire evening, handing us off to the tour guide, later taking us to the dinner, even recommending what my pescitarian daughter could try out, and eventually seating us in the Ballet VIP area. I needed to pick up meds for my daughter and Fajar stopped on the way back to the hotel and helped me get the meds. He is a very nice human being and anybody who gets paired up with him will be in great and very friendly hands! Both the dinner and Ramayana ballet were also excellent. The icing on the cake is the beautiful setting of the resto, with a full view of the temples.

Wonderful Performance

Wonderful experience! We had a very informed driver which made the ride quite interesting. The costumes and performance were beautiful. Four stars instead of 5 because the dinner buffet was pretty bland and at the performance people were entering until 10 minutes into the show, which was noisy and distracting.

Well coordinated activity - excellent driver (Eko) and guide (Jono)

Well coordinated activity. Our driver Eko contacted us via WhatsApp a day before the activity to confirm pick-up timing. He was punctual, speaks good English, and drove safely especially when there was a downpour on the way back to the hotel. Our private guide Jono (selected by tour agency) is an excellent storyteller and we thoroughly enjoyed his tour of Prambanan and the three Buddhist temples. Eko picked us from Candi Sewu to the dinner/performance venue by car, so we need not walk back to the Prambanan entrance. Buffet dinner had a good spread with reserved table facing an illuminated Prambanan, and the outdoor performance was enchanting. We could easily follow the plot after Jono’s explanation of the Ramayana bas-reliefs in Prambanan, and it was useful learning the legend in its entirety as the ballet focused only on core chapters.
