Great experience - Great experience seeing the sun rise at Borobudur. The pick up at my hotel was very convenient and the drive to the temple was quick. The guide was informative and friendly, we had plenty of time to explore and were not rushed at all. It was nice to be there early where it wasn’t busy, and the included breakfast at the end was a nice bonus. I was also pleased with my driver, Fajar, who was helpful, kind, communicative, and efficient.

Well-organized tour of beautiful sites - The experience was wonderful. Borobodur is an amazing sight to see. It was a bit cloudy that day, but that only made the landscape more ethereal, and the sun eventually rose clearly over Mt. Merapi. Beautiful! The Jeep tour was also super fun. My driver Rafli was new to the company and nervous about his English, but didn't have to be! He was extremely polite and courteous, got me everywhere safely and on time, and was eager to help with any issues I had. Great guy! I think this company's combo tours are particularly worthwhile, as the best way to organize seeing the top sights in Yogyakarta during your limited time there.

Great experience - The Borobudur temple sunrise is a beautiful experience. Despite the limited number of visitors, not everyone respects the site in the same way. Our driver and our guide were very friendly and the setting was spectacular.

Nice explanation by an English-speaking guide. - Everything was arranged fine, only we missed that we had to come to it ourselves. Luckily this was possible with a driver. He brought us, waited, and brought us home again.

Do not miss this! Amazing experience - My experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Everything was so well organized and ran smoothly. Mas Eko, my driver and guide, picked me up right on time. He was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful throughout the trip. He deserves his flowers! Matur suwun🙏🏼 Visiting Borobudur is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The logistics are perfectly organized, allowing you to enjoy this magnificent historical site without the usual crowds. It made the visit even more special. Then my after this amazing experience we had a super VIP breakfast, which was fantastic and in my case I continued my trip to Mt Merapi. I’d definitely recommend you to book with them, they will arrange this perfectly.

Driver who made my visit even better - Seeing the sunrise from atop Borobudpur Temple was very special. There were a lot of other tourists, but 95% were very respectful of allowing you to capture photos without being in your line of sight for ages pulling all the poses for their uploads. The company I booked with provided a driver, BHIMO (yes, that's how he spells it!), who was fantastic. Very safe driver. Very pleasant company with a genuinely warm smile at all times. He made sure everything went very smoothly with this booking. Highly recommend BHIMO.

Amazing experience - A fantastic experience – everything was organised to perfection, starting with our driver, the ever-so-friendly and punctual Eko. The sunrise at Borobudur Temple was well worth the early start. Prambanan was just as impressive, and our guide, Lintang, was extremely friendly and really knowledgeable about the history of the Hindu temple. Highly recommended!
