Jogja’s Finest Driver

Hendra our driver was perfect. On time. Immaculate car. Great stories and a sensational driver in challenging traffic. Went over and above. Wouldn’t use anyone else when back in Jogja. Truly was part of the Borobudur and Prambanan experience

Magical morning at Borobudur

We had a lovely experience on the Borobudur sunrise trip from start to finish. Our driver, Dayu, was prompt, kind, and patient. He walked us through registration quickly and made sure we quickly connected with our tour guide at the temple. The trip up to the top was easy, even with our 6yo. The views were breathtaking and the whole experience was magical. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Yogyakarta!

Very good. Fajar the best!

The tour is very well organized. Fajar is an incredible, punctual, and friendly driver. He has been concerned about the details at all times. He has told us about the culture, gastronomy, and life of the country. 100% recommended, I would repeat without a doubt. Thank you very much!

Everything perfect. Eko was precise, punctual, and kind. Comfortable car. Easy communication via WhatsApp. Delicious breakfast in a new, very elegant facility with an amazing view of the temple. Sunrise visit with limited capacity and no crowds. Recommended.

Amazing solo experience

An amazing experience seeing a human wonder with sunrise. Everything is taken care of (ticket to borobudur, transport, guide, breakfast...) so you just sit and enjoy the moment.Bring a jacket tho it gets cold. Fajar was an amazing driver always giving extra details about the country and culture. Highly recommand booking this experience at least 1 in life. 🙏🏻

Excellent organisation

This day trip was fantastic! We booked it via Borobudur Sunrise Tour and everything went extremely smoothly. Our guide Bhimo contacted us a day before the trip via WhatsApp and provided all the details we needed. On the day of our trip he arrived more than punctual, drove us safely to the different temples, organised the entrance, showed us where to go, brought us to our tour guides and gave us necessary information. Bhimo was very friendly, kind and funny and we felt really cared for. I can only recommend this driver and organisation since they basically do everything for you and you just have to show up.

Great experience, worth every dollar!

The whole experience was great! Started with a confirmation of the pick up time by the driver, and a what’s app message when they arrived at the house. Then a very smooth ride to the temple with a great explanation of what was coming and a bit of history. Hanif took great care of us at the resort. We loved that we were allowed further into up at the temple than the normal tours, with this being a VIP tour. The guide was great in explaining the entire history of the temple and the basics of Buddhism. At around 5.30 we were able to find a good photo spot for the sunrise and just sitting there was a very nice way of waking up. After the tour there was a really nice breakfast with an Indonesian buffet, fruit and croissants for those less keen on Indonesian food. On the way back we had the option to also go to a Buddhist monastery but we choose to go home to sleep (as this was our second morning in a row getting up at 3.00). Worth every penny! Great experience!!!

Beautiful Borobudur

We had visited this surreal place for a 4 day trip. The experience of seeing the sun rise from the Borobodur temple precincts was an absolute life changing one. What makes am experience all the more memorable is when the associated activities that lead up to the real event is well taken care of. Our trip guides Borobodus sunrise did a fantastic job of that. Our guide Rama who drove us there was bang on time at the wee hours of 3 am waiting with a broad smile. Thank you so much to Mr.Tinton Arya for arranging everything for us so well. It was a trip worth every dime we paid for. I would recommend a trip to Borobudur at least once in a lifetime. It changes your perspective on every thing you have ever believed it.
