Fun day out! - Budi was a very enthusiastic driver and gave us loads of information about the area while answered all our general questions. The temple is cool, but I would’ve preferred Budi to show us around. The temple provides their own guides, and mine wasn’t so easy to understand. I had a nice day out

Great Sunset Trip - Shared turned Private - Visiting Borobudur was the highlight of our trip. The sunset, even with the light rain, was gorgeous and there was only one other party other than us. While the tour is shared, when we got their our amazing driver, Toni, helped us easily get a private tour for only 200k Rupiah more. Fellen, our tour guide, was spectacular. She gave us a ton of history, guided us to see the things we wanted to see, and was just so bright and funny.

Excellent and honest service by Badi and company :) - I had an amazing experience visiting Borobudur in a solo travel.
I had the luck to have as a driver Mr.Badi that made my experience much better , he was very helpful, polite and had care for any of my need.
I then booked two more experiences with the same company and had a very good experience with Toni as I driver.
I’m very grateful for them as they also were very honest with pricing regardless I was on solo travel they gave me excellent and fair price.
Thanks for everything! I definitely raccomand to anyone

Borobudur temple and Mendut Monastery. - The Borobudur temple trip was great, we also visited another site called the Mendut monastery. Our guide & driver was called Vega and he was superb. We started the tour at 14.00 and finished at around 21.00.
The Borobudur sunset experience got rained off (our fault for visiting in rainy season). But we did have a good 20 minutes at the top before the rain fell, for enough photos and getting a feel of the place.
The included meal was at the restutant at the base of the temple. You could pick anything from the menu apart from the beef steak or Salmon. Wine/beer or dessert is not included you have to pay extra.
Vega drove us very safely throughout the whole day and we had many great conversations along the way.

Borobudur Tour - Our personal driver, Budi, was excellent. His English was impeccable and he was incredibly knowledgeable. He would let us stop along the way if we wished to and also knew everything about the area. We loved the Borobudur - what an incredible experience being able to see it. Also, the tour guide at the park Kenny was amazing and explained everything very well. On the way home Budi went out of his way to stop at an old colonial Dutch house for coffee, which was super special for us. I highly recommend this tour and especially ask to have Budi as your driver and guide.
