The Borobudur the way it should be seen - Very happy that we chose this company. All was as promised. We had an excellent guide who provided in depth explanations along the way about pretty much everything.....arriving at the Borobudur we were whisked past any queues and were assigned a specialist guide pretty much immediately (but remained available himself as well) so we weren't losing any time. The main advantage, though, is that you get to climb the Borobudur itself, which is generally not the case when going with a large group, as the government has set limits on the number of visitors per day or part of the day. As a result the place is not overwhelmed by tourists and you get a much better impression of this monumental temple. The views from above are impressive as are the stupas and all the different expressions of Buddha with their separate meaning on each level. An awesome experience. While the quality of the assigned guides seems to differ, our was very good and helpful. On the way back they had organised a buffet lunch, which was quite good, in a place used by these 'personalised' tour operators. As there aren't many facilities catering for larger groups this was an excellent solution and much better than the overcrowded facilities we have experienced with cruise line tours. All up strongly recommended.

Cruise port Borobudur Temple excursion - Prompt pickup, courteous, helpful, capable staff. Excellent job getting to and from Borobudur plus the full temple tour including upper level, on the tight schedule of very limited time the ship was in port, Semerang.

Not to be missed private tour to Borobudur. So much better than a bus tour - Our driver and guide made sure we arrived just as the second level of Borobudur opened. We were able to bypass the crowds, see so much more without tripping over other tourists. Our guide gave us wonderful and pertinent history and folklore; our driver was an expert in traversing the busy and congested roads. They took us to a great little restaurant for a late lunch. We covered so much more with East Journey Travels than did our fellow cruise passengers who paid more for this upcharged excursion. Highly recommend—dependable and communicative

Private excursion from Cruise Terminal to Borobudur - We had a beautiful private excursion. A long trip to the temple, but absolutely worth it. Excellent driver and guide, safe driver and the guide was full of information about the island and its developments. Our guide made sure we good the “good” Guide at the temple complex (the guide from the temple goes with you to and on the temple). Lunch was excellent. We were on a cruise, timely transfer:)). Would Recommend.

Informative private guide - Great, friendly, private guide - Hassan (and driver). The 2.5 hour drive from the port to the temple flew by as our guide kept the conversation interesting and informative. And the route off the main highway allowed us to see more of the country as well.

Beautiful and humongous temple - Jamal was a great tour guide, but too bad it was Monday and we were not allowed to climb up to higher levels. Avoid Monday.
