We opted to do this tour instead of the one offered by our cruise line so that we could drive directly there and leave when we wanted to. We left an hour later the cruise ship group and were back 1.5 hours before them. Worth every penny. Our driver, Thoriq, was great. He was on time, escorted us through ticketing up until we joined the Boroburdur tour and then was waiting for us when we were done. Afterwards he accommodated our request to stop for cold water. Highly recommed this trip and Thoriq!

Borobudur is a UNESCO world heritage site that must be seen. The largest Buddhist temple in the world is simply stunning. We travelled to the site with EKO - a superb driver guide with excellent English, good humour and good conversation. It is more than 2 hours drive to the temple from Semarang port - you will spend a large part of your day in the car so don’t underestimate the value of a driver guide who is both knowledgeable and good company!
It is a hot climb to the top of the temple but you are rewarded by great story telling from the official guides on site and wonderful views when you reach Nirvana at the top. This has been the standout highlight of our visit to Indonesia - highly recommended.

We had an awesome trip to Borobudur Temple. We arrived before the Holland America buses and were able to visit the temple with a guide of 5 which was amazing.

Outstanding driver/guide! Loved the experience of driving around the Indonesian countryside .
Long day, but worth it

Dear Peter,
Many thanks for the great comments. Guests arriving on cruise ships only have around ten hours to explore the Borobudur Temple, our aim is to show you as much as we can, whilst ensuring that you are not rushed, so excellent time management is crucial.
Thank you so much for the excellent review, it is very much appreciated.
Best Regards,

Prajan is THE driver you need to make this trip comfortable and with lots of info and stories :-)
He took care of the vip entrance, a drink and some snacks .
The temple is something you just have to see!

Dear Ton,
Praja's immense knowledge, storytelling abilities and love of his adopted homeland are second to none, and we are so glad to hear that you had such a great day with him from the get-go. Praja, and our other guides, truly are the best in the business. We certainly concur that being able to experience the world class heritage sight of Borobudur Temple with the departure from Semarang Port, as well as other unsual stops, makes the absolute most of your time. Thank you so much for the excellent review and recommendation, it is very much appreciated
