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%

Very nice experience! - My wife and I were really lucky with this tour! Our driver Febrian picked us up on time at 04:00 and gave us a very warm welcome. We really enjoyed the sunrise at the Borobudur temple. We were relatively late in the season, so it wasnt that crowded. The view was amazing.
Febrian really did a great job organizing everything for us, taking care of the entrance fees, handing us over to our temple guide and even taking our shoes (you get special slippers for the temple). Our guide in the temple was also great and took us into the world of Borobudur and Buddhism. We then went on to the Merapi volcano, for which we were picked up at the parking lot by jeep. Unfortunately, the volcano was completely in the clouds - there's nothing you can do about that, it's nature ;)
The volcano museum was interesting, unfortunately the jeep driver couldn't answer all our questions as he couldn't speak English very well. In general, it is very touristy there, which seemed a bit deliberate. The jeep ride in the water park was fun, but also very touristy. We personally could have done without it, we just wanted to see the volcano :)
Febrian took us for a small soup (very good!) - his insider tip! Then we went on to the Prambanan temple, which impressed us even more than Borobodur. Here we had a great private guide who even spoke German. Febrian then took us back to our accommodation safely. His friendliness and the nice conversations in between rounded off our tour pefectly - thank you Febrian for the good organization!

Wonderful full day tour - It was a great trip and experience to us. We had a wonderful time all day long from sunrise to sunset by touching the natures and cultures. The driver was flexible and friendly. We asked bunch of questions about life in Indonesia and the driver taught us many things while driving. At the end, we joked around and laughed, which the trip became totally fun even in a car during traffic time. Thanks a lot for the wonderful time!

Amazing trip with Arief! - Thanks for an amazing trip today! The pickup was smooth, Arief was really friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the trip from beginning to end. The temples we visited were amazing, and the duration of each stop was adjusted so we could stay anywhere as long as we wanted. Would certainly recommend!!!

Great tour of the temples - The temples were beautiful. We really enjoyed the entire tour, Youss our host picked great restaurants for breakfast and lunch and was a great organizer and driver. Unfortunately we had a bunch of cloud cover for our sunrise and trip to the volcano but this is the one thing nobody can control. The tour is an excellent day spent and well worth the money!

Great tour - We went with JB Tours and our driver was Udik.
Udik is a very nice and friendly guy, always willing to help. He never rushed us.
The tour starts with the sunrise point (you’ll have to wake up early!). If you’re lucky (and we were) you’ll see the sun coming from behind the Merapi Volcano. Very nice.
The next stop is Borobodur temple. It’s impressive, a wonder.
You then head to the Merapi volcano, where you take a tour with a Jeep. Our driver there was Blondo, friendly and always laughing. We stopped in a couple of places, and we were supposed to go to the volcano base. But it was cloudy, and we saw nothing :( That’s nature!
We had lunch in a touristy restaurant and headed to Prambanan temple. Another speechless wonder.
One advice: on Mondays, both Borobodur and Prambanan are partially closed because of maintenance. In Borobodur you’d miss the stuppas and the statues, the most impressive parts. In Prambanan, you won’t be able to get in the temples. So, don’t go on a Monday.
