Prambanan Temple & Ramayana Ballet Show or Alternative Evening

Kathy_T, May 2026

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.

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.

Amazing cultural and historical journey

A tour is only as good as its guide, and Pak Dani was exceptional! Dani’s exceptional knowledge brought the history, symbolism, and cultural significance of Borobudur and Prambanan temples and the Ramayana ballet to life, providing more than a standard sightseeing tour. Beyond the sites themselves, Dani navigated expertly, with local insider knowledge and connections to get us around more smoothly. He offered excellent local food recommendations, giving us a more authentic and well-rounded experience of Yogyakarta. Highly recommend this tour company (and guide) for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Yogyakarta’s heritage.

Bima, our driver and...

Bima, our driver and guide, was knowledgeable and attentive. We started with Borobodur where Bima was mindful about our needs and guided is all the way to the local guide. He made sure to show us to the restroom and also explained to us what to expect. After Borobodur we went to Prabanam where Bima truly shines. He explained to us the local legend and the history of the place while helping us capture the moments at the most scenic spots. He also made sure to get us the show tickets while we had dinner and we had a very good seats to the evening show. He also drove us around the city afterwards and tried his best to accommodate our needs and answer our questions. We would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming guide.

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.

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.
