Great tour-highly recommend - Habzeh was a great driver and guide. He was punctual, helpful, amicable, and patient. The full day tour is a great way to see the cultural sites in one day. Note, there is a small fee for tour guides inside the temple grounds for Prambanan. There is enough downtime in between sites during transit to enjoy Luwak coffee, rest and eat lunch if desired.

Worth stopping by Jogja! - Excellent tour. The guide and driver, Aditya, was fluent in English and was supportive, and helpful. I learned a lot about Indonesia history and culture through our discussions while going around. I highly recommend the full-day tour to visit two famous religious and historic sites, Borobudur and Prambanan temples. Worth stopping by Yogyakarta (for the locals Jogja) if you are in Indonesia.

Amazing visit to Borobudur and Prambanan temples! - Adit was absolutely amazing! He was not only very friendly and approachable, but he also answered all of our questions in detail. His knowledge about the history of both temples was impressive, and he shared fascinating stories that enriched our experience. Additionally, he managed to secure our tickets for the ballet effortlessly, which added a special touch to our trip. Traveling with him truly made our journey far more enjoyable and memorable than we could have imagined. Thank you so much, Adit, and we wish you the best of luck in the future!

Great tour with Adit and Asmaradhana citytouryoga - The tour was really nice and our driver Adit was extraordinary. He give us a lot of information on the both temples and we exchange a lot. He is very nice. We warmly recommend him.
We recommend to book the tour as soon as possible, since the Ramayana ballet ticket are rare. Widi, the tour operator advise us as soon as possible that we might miss the Ramayana ballet, because all the indoor tickets were¹ sold out.
Widi and Adit did their best and we had the chance to see this amazing show although we book the tour on last minute.
Thank you again

Had a great time with Arma - Arma was our guide / driver for the day. He was great, he was very timely and flexible with our pace. He answered any questions we had, in good English. We loved the Prambanan visit, we then did Borobudur as he had only gotten tickets for 10:30am, but that was actually fine as the grounds only open at 9am these days anyways. Would highly recommend

Best Tour in Yogyakarta with Adit - We had a fabulous day and evening with our own private tour guide, Adit. He picked us up at the hotel at 9am in a comfortable air conditioned vehicle. This was our itinerary:
1) We were privileged to climb to the top of UNESCO World Heritage site, Borobudur (as numbers are limited to 150 per hour and tickets are very scarce). Adit explained the history and the preservation over the years after some natural disasters. At Borobudur, we had our own tour guide from the temple (included in the price) who explained more history and took some photos with us in them.
2) Then we drove onto Prambanan, another UNESCO World Heritage site with Adit as our personal tour guide through the temples plus he gave us some free time to wander around on our own.
3) Then Adit drove us to dinner and we had Nasi Goreng and satay at a restaurant by a beautiful river with clean toilet facilities.
3) After dinner we went to Ramayana Ballet held in an outdoor theatre with the Prambanan Temple lit up in the night sky. The costumes of the cast were amazing and it was just so beautiful - it honestly was one of the best productions we have seen in Asia and we have travelled a lot through this continent and seen other countries productions. Adit lines up to get our tickets (long queue) whilst we ate dinner.
Adit was a safe driver and shared some of Yogyakarta’s local history, the local way of life, some suggestions for dining out, and suggestions of where to shop (including Batik).
We returned to the hotel around 9:40pm, so be prepared for a long day.
Adit always had a beautiful smile on his face which did not disappear from day until evening. Adit had such a friendly disposition and we felt comfortable to ask any questions. He is such a hard working man. Adit’s English is good.
Adit made sure we were well hydrated and we asked for an additional stop to get another cold drink after temple trekking. You need a reasonable level of fitness to climb the large stairs at the temples.
Adit also drives clients to Malang, Mt Bromo, Surabaya and also into Bali.
We know there are a lot of tour companies in Yogyakarta.
You will never look back if you reach out to the tour company and ask for Adit specifically to be your tour guide.
Adit is a caring soul and has a strong client focus with his hospitality background.
We walked away as friends.
Until we meet again Adit.

Fantastic day with Adit! - Adit was a fantastic driver and guide for our trips to Borobudur and Prambanan. He graciously and thoughtfully answered our many questions about Indonesian culture and history, the city of Yogyakarta, and the temples. We asked to stop for Kopi Luwak and shop for Batik and he found excellent local shops around our route. We also expressed interest in trying local food, and he took us to a warung along the route for delicious lamb Sate. He even helped us plan a biking trip in a village near Yogya the following day. Overall, we had a fantastic, memorable day, and we would highly recommend requesting Adit as your guide.
