Best tour(guide) - We were picked up by Ipung, just before 4am. Only one more guest had to join, so we were a small group of 4 people doing the tour. Ipung was very knowledgeable about anything we asked her. The timing of the sunrise was perfect, we did not have to wait long for the first light to appear on the other side of the Merapi valcano. Next highlight was the Borobudur. A pitty that you are limited in time, but of course not the fault of Ipung. After a great lunch at Van Bloemen restaurant, a recommendation especially for Dutch guests:-) we continued to Prambanan temple where Ipung again showed her knowledge. Impressive!
Above that Ipung is very ammaible and friendly.
Highly recommended to anyone who wants to do this tour.

The best Yogyakarta experience you will find - We had the best once in a lifetime experience... If we ever come back to Indonesia, we would like Haidar to be our guide and driver again... He really made our day wonderfull... Save driving between attractions, spending 17 hours for the whole day, added to visit an extra tempel for free!!!, when we had some spare time, he also is very polite and speaks very good english... the sunsrise, Borobudur and Merapi were a great experience, also the Jeep driver Fanny made the Merapi a really adventures trip...

Exceptional! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Everything was just perfect! My guide, Youss, is diligent and charming, and the best teacher about Indonesian lifestyle. I had a great time and a comfy travel. Every stop is totally worth it (and worth getting there that early for sure!)

An Amazing tour with Atok! - We had an amazing time with our guide Atok who has an amazing knowledge of the history of the region! Atok was extremely helpful and friendly and we could not recommend him or this tour enough! The temples of Borobudur and Prambanan are incredible and we had heaps of fun riding a jeep around Merapi! I hope others will have as much fun as we did!

Highly recommended! - Our driver was super friendly, funny and explained us a lot, even without asking.
The different tours in the temples, volcano and sunrise were also very organized, not crowded and the guides were also all really great!
The tour was flexibly adapted to us i.e. go out for dinner, etc.
In general, however, we were traveling from 4 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is already a tight program, but in between you can sleep in the car again and again.
We would definitely do the tour again with this provider.
(We just thought that the tour was cheaper because we didn't read in the info that another 850k will be added at entrance to the temples)

Herri the best! - The tour could not be more complete and enjoyable. Early in the morning we were picked up by the driver and Guide Herri and since then he did not leave us alone at any time, helping and greatly facilitating the entrances to the temples or the jeep climb to the Volcano. It is a perfect way to complete a round day full of culture, adventure and fun. We recommend it 100%

Lovely tour for the day - I enjoyed my tour of Borobudur and Prambanan temples along with Mount Merapi jeep tour and Sunrise from Setumbu hills. I was taken by my guide to Setumbu hills at 4 am. They don’t go up with you so I was a little scared being alone walking up. However it was very safe. When I reached up I found three other people. I waited for the sunrise unfortunately it being rainy season, it was quite cloudy, but I managed to get a couple of good photographs. It was fun being out early in the morning and enjoyed the cool weather. . The path going up and down was surrounded by forest..so nice and green and on the way back I was able to get some tofu and banana fritters for breakfast. Next we went to Borobudur. This was a nice complex again being a Monday. I could not go right to the top, but I enjoyed seeing the beautiful structure. After that I went to Mount Merapi on the jeep. That was a lot of fun and my guide was really nice. We finished the tour by seeing Prambanan temples. At the end, my guide very kindly took me to a local restaurant which I really enjoyed.
