Nice morning at Borobudur
The main highlights are the buddhist (Borobudur) and hindu (Prambanan) temples, both are exquisite structures. Unfortunately on a Monday full access to the Prambanan temple is limited due to cleaning. The early morning visit to Borobudur was great with good photo opportunities. The driver Matt did a good job in handling the transfers to the various guides.

A Bucket List Trip
Borobudur and Prambanan are two of the most spectacular temples in the world — up there with Angkor Watt. Our guide was wonderful. Patient, responsive and helpful in so many ways. Do not miss this trip.

Great day with Ujee
Great experience visiting Borobudur, pickup was smooth and we had a great driver and guide for the tour of the temple. Our driver Ujee was brilliant, so friendly and great company for the day. He even stopped on the way back from the temple so that we could try the famous Kopi Luwak, 10/10!

A Tour Worth Opting For
The volcano experience was stunning, whereas the Borobudur part wasn't as intriguing for me due to the weather which was aggravated by the tour guide stopping every now & again to explain about the history of it in scorching heat weather.
All in all, definitely worth it though.

Borobudur - Prambanan Day Trip from Yogyakarta
Magnificent experience at both Borobudur and Prambanan, the driver Teguh who was also the direct guide at Prambanan was knowledgeable and vey good at accommodating our needs. The climb up steep steps at Borobudur in the dark is challenging (or was for me at least) but worth it.

Borobudur and Prambanan. awesome for culture junkies
The two UNESCO sites of Borobudur and Prambanan are must visits for culture junkies. The 3am call time for the sunrise tour at Borobudur is too early for me

Maxi, our guide contacted...
Maxi, our guide contacted us the night before, confirming the trip, and he was waiting for us when we deboarded. His laugh, attitude and knowledge were great. It made it visit to Borobudur including the drive from and back to the cruise port, including a visit to a Batik shop, a great experience that we will never forget.

A Great trip to Borobudur
We had a great trip to see and experience Borobudur. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot of the history of Indonesia. We were picked up and brought back to our ship on time despite the traffic and port activities. We highly recommend this tour!

Excellent Mr Fucjar
The care and responsibility that Fucjar invests in his job is exemplary. He took me where I needed to go, whenever I asked. He was an excellent and safe driver with family and provided some fun and pleasant conversation in English. A credit to his company.

You can hire a guide on-site when you arrive at the temple, whether you visit on your own or as part of a tour from Yogyakarta, which might include a driver and not a guide. Guides will help you to navigate the site, as well as providing details of the temple’s history.
Can you climb the Borobudur temple?
Yes, climbing to the top of the Borobudur Temple is allowed and is considered a highlight of any visit. You will need to climb a series of staircases to reach the top, but the temple’s magnificent details, not to mention its panoramic views, are worth the climb.
What other attractions are near Borobudur?

Pawon Temple and Mendut Temple are two small 9th-century Buddhist temples found just east of Borobudur. Another popular activity is rafting on the Progo River, which flows close to the temples. If you don’t mind traveling via rough and steep hillside roads, the tea plantations at Kebun Teh Nglinggo are a little farther from Borobudur.
What is the best time of day to visit Borobudur?
Many visitors plan to arrive at Borobudur to enjoy the sunrise, which can be viewed from the top of the surrounding hills. However, it can be quite busy, even at this early hour, and typically gets busier throughout the morning. An alternative option is to arrive for sunset, which can often be quieter.
Can you go to Borobudur on your own?
Yes, you don’t need to book a tour to visit Borobudur and you can visit on your own. If traveling independently, you’ll need to arrange your own tickets and transportation.
