Day trip to ancient temples outside Yogyakarta. - This was an excellent experience. Our driver was great and quite helpful, as was the student who accompanied us. We were lucky and had good weather. I would recommend this trip advisor tour to anyone.

Efficient day tour of two World Heritage Sites in Yogyakarta - This one-day tour efficiently explores the Borobudur and Prambanan sites, two major World Heritage sites on the outskirts of Yogyakarta, with an English-speaking driver on the way, as well as English-speaking guides (some guides can speak Japanese) in Borobudur and Prambanan temple parks.
Borobudur Temple is a Buddhist temple known as "Angkor Wat on Java", while Prambanan Temple is made up of several Hindu temples, and there are other smaller Buddhist temples scattered throughout the park.
The tour itself had a generous schedule as there were three participants, so we had Borobudur in the morning, lunch at a local restaurant (additional charge) and Prambanan in the afternoon.
After watching the sunset in Prambanan Temple Park, I was picked up and dropped off at my hotel, but this time I had to ask the driver to drop me off at the entrance of the theater to see Ramayana Ballet at 19.30 pm at the theater close to Prambanan.

Niagara of Indonesia - Tumpak Sewu is not to be missed. We were picked up by our driver, Suryana who was punctual and he drove so well that I was asleep throughout the whole 3 hours journey.
Prepare sandals or if not, u can rent them for 20,000. Toilets were clean and bring along a change of clothes as you will get wet. The climb down was steep but there are steps and its manageable. Most prefer to just see the main waterfalls and then back, but I am happy that our guide Riko pushed us to the gua tetes where we got to dip ourselves and were in a more quiet area.
The cascading waterfall engulfs you and makes u feel so small. We were lucky as the place was not crowded and we managed to get beautiful shots of ourselves with the waterfalls as a backfround.
This is definitely one of the highlights.

Great field trip. Recommended! - We've had a great day. This excursion from Ykexplore Yogya is highly recommended if you only want to visit the two temples (with lunch in between) and don't want to make too long a day. Everything is well arranged and taken care of. Guide Vivi knew a lot about the Prambanan, the Borobudur and the surroundings. She could also understand and answer our questions well, her English is very good. Driver Bagus drove the bus safely and quickly through traffic.

Unforgettable experience, hassle free tour, great communication - If I could give 6 stars out of 5, I would. This company went above and beyond in terms of communication, execution, and delivery. The team is very responsive and accommodating to special requests. Our driver Azhari was stellar at coordinating everything and making sure we had a wonderful experience. The Bromo/Ijen tours were spectacular thanks to our tour guides (we had Sem who was awesome!).
I am very impressed with this company. For me it was hassle free, had great accommodations, and ended up being superb value.
