Gorgeous Temples and Volcano Views - Kick started our tour by visiting Prambanan temple compound. The main site was crowded, but we did get a chance to climb into one of the temples. The views from the top floors was spectacular. And the carvings were gorgeous. There are many temple sites within the same compound. Would strongly advise to bring sunblock and an umbrella as the sun is not to be trifled with. Pathways between temples can be long, but the walk was enjoyable, beautiful gardens and trees lined up these pathways. There are options for our tour guides and hiring buggies as well. We then moved on to Merapi where we hired a jeep to take us to see the volcano (subject to weather, it was very cloudy when we had gone however the view was still amazing) Depending on the package, your tour may also include a visit to an old bunker and museum, both a chilling reminder of nature's wrath. Finally we visited Borobudor, and as we got tickets to visit all the way to the top (while selecting tickets, you must choose an experience based on either architecture or history) we were blessed with rain. Needless to say, the entire experience was gorgeous, most of the crowds had gone by then and it felt like a VIP tour with just us and the tour guide explaining various carvings and the significance of the architecture. A huge shoutout to our guide Rio who organized this entire day trip for us. When we were pressed for time, he made sure we made it to the sites and got to experience these major highlights. He was always looking after our comfort, picking us and dropping us off to suit our convenience, offering us coconut juice, snake fruits to snack on and at the end, he took us to an amazing place for dinner. He also took us to have some Kopi Luwak so fulfil our caffeine dose for the day. The car he was driving us in was very comfortable, AC and water bottles equipped. We had an amazing day in Yogyakarta thanks to Rio. Got some amazing shots as well. Will definitely be in touch again, highly recommended tour!

Excellent days tour of temples plus - Contacted Rio for a bespoke one day tour taking in the temples and anything else he suggested that wasn’t too touristy. Rosemary had a bad leg so we didn’t want too much walking. The two temple complexes were amazing and well worth the visits. Rio was a really good guide with lots of local knowledge, gsh and a good safe driver. Included a coconut sugar farm which due to Ramadan had shut early but the lady gave us a small sample to take away. Additional temples that had been previously buried by ash. Really nice Batik studio where we found our signature piece for Indonesia. Lunch and a lawak coffee shop. Rio was concerned that we had seen enough for the day which was over ten hours. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

Saw old Temples and learned about Yogykarta - Wedha as a top notch tour guide. Wonderful English speaking ability but more importantly, easy to talk to and so much knowledge of general culture and history he can share when you ask. This adds to the tour and experience. Sites were amazing. Wedha and his company did save us with site ticket issues we had. Be ready for some incredible views. Do advise a big breakfast, lunch was on the later side. Great location and food but can be after 2pm. We did not see the volcano but that is mother nature for you.

Great temples... - Our tour was just Prambanan and Borobudur but we enjoyed it very much. Our driver Wedha was great. He assisted us all the way. He speaks good English that we had a good conversation. Both temples are great! I can recommend this tour.

1 Day trip in Jogja - We enjoyed the service provided by Wedha. He is well organised and very punctual. He speaks good English and willing to share his knowledge about Jogja. Most importantly, he is a safe driver.

Wonderful places to visit - The trip was great. The car was very comfortable and Kadek, the driver, was very nice and polite. We were really quick in visiting some temples as it was a hot day so he was kind and offered us to go to different places. The tour was organised and we enjoyed our time. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience, superb hospitality - Had an amazing experience and I would highly recommend them. Our driver Kadek made our day very comfortable. He is a very nice and hospitable person and took very good care of us. The prices are also very reasonable. The booking experience was also smooth, we booked over WhatsApp with zero hassle.

Great experience! - The temples were amazing and Rio went above and beyond as a tour guide. He took me to some other places of exactly what I was looking for. We only didn't have enough time to see batik, but he even offered to take me early the next morning before I had to catch my train. Rio is also very knowledgeable about the area and provided a lot of interesting information about the area. The only disappointment I had was the name of the tour, which says "Merapi Lava Tour". I didn't get to see Merapi or lava. It was no fault of Rio since only Jeeps are allowed to the peak, but the name of the tour is a little misleading. I was really excited to see Merapi since it's the most active volcano in Indonesia and was bummed to not even get to see it from afar.

Solo tour to the temples - Viewing the temples is a mesmerising experience that has to be done when visiting Java. I had a great time with Wedha, who drove me to each destination. He was very friendly and talkative. Unfortunately we could not visit merapi volcano because the weather was too overcast and we wouldn't be able to see it. However Wedha adjusted the itinerary and took me to another temple near the Prambanan complex. I had a great experience and the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the price of the entrance fees for each destination aren't clearly listed on TripAdvisor. This means that the price overall is a fair bit more expensive than the listing price on TripAdvisor. Also in Borobudur, I would have liked a little bit more time to explore the temple, it felt a little rushed but I understand they want to allow more visitors despite there being a maximum capacity of people allowed into the temple at one time. I was also very happy with my tour guide in Prambanan. He was very knowledgeable and told the whole story of the complex with no hesitations, stopping to take my photo regularly. I then got to explore the complex for as long as I wanted. To conclude, I would definitely recommend this tour, just make sure you bring enough cash to pay for the entrance fees, and if you can, ask for Wedha to be your guide as he is the man for the job.
