Highlights
  • Prambanan Temples - This is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia, featuring an extensive area filled with temples. The 8th-century structures within the compound narrate countless stories from the past. Hiring a local tour guide will enhance your visit.
  • Water Castle (Tamansari) - This part of the palace served as a pleasure garden for kings and their families, providing a retreat for leisure and a place to escape enemy attacks.
  • The Sambisari Temple - Discovered underground in a rice field in the 1970s, this Hindu temple is distinct from the similarly named Candisari temple. Although both are Buddhist temples from the Sanjaya dynasty, a Hindu clan, they differ in use, philosophy, structure, and ornamentation. Sambisari temple is two-storied and is believed to have housed manuscripts.
  • Yogyakarta Palace - The Sultan’s palace is a fascinating place to observe the evolution of Javanese culture over the centuries.
  • Borobudur Temple - Explore Borobudur, one of the world’s most magnificent Buddhist temples. Discover the thousands of narrative panels that unveil the history of Java island.

An extra ordinary trip with the best of Yogyakarta - My trip plan was for two days for my family inclusive of a three year old kid. I was apprehensive of my plans as all the tour plans listed everywhere was confusing. It’s the time I accidentally came across java Bali trips and contacted Mr Bambang. Very positive and helpful he helped me to plan my tour well. Now it was turn for Ardi who came down as driver for first day. He proved to be resourceful and equally positive as Bambang. He guided me through the day and helped me to plan my day well. He also advised me how to plan next day. As I understood they are the best and reasonable guys in yogya. Ardi speaks English fluently. I would definitely go back to do tour again with them. It’s advisable to contact them on watsapp or call to customise your plans directly. The listed plans available may not be suitable to all. Wish you all happy holidaying with ardi and his team.

Excellent tour and first class service from guide - I was impressed with other reviews and was not disappointed! Excellent communication prior to pick up from hotel, great service from Bambang. I did Borobudur, Prambaman and Merapi in a day. Each of these stops has its own entrance fee. Jeep trip on Merapi was worthwhile but there is no pressure to dour! Overall, an exciting, memorable and informative day! Thanks again!

Wonderful driver guide in Yogyakarta - We contacted Bambang at JavaBali trips and asked for an English speaking guide. He immediately wrote back and set up our two days private tour in Yogyakarta. Ardi picked us up at our hotel, in a nice car with air conditioning. We told him what we wanted to see in two days and he made suggestions and customized our itinerary. He was a very good driver and we felt very safe. We also told him that we wanted to try local food. He took us to a local restaurant where we had the best nasi goreng and satay. He also gave suggestions for dinners. When I wanted to see the local marketplace, he took me there and bargained for the things I was buying, too. Really nice guy. I highly recommend Ardi and Bambang.
