I strongly recommend this tour! We did it one day before Borobudur and Prambanan because we wanted to see more temples. We enjoyed it a lot, our guide Wardo was kind and attentive. Alga Lova Tours recommended us to include a bike tour, it was extra cost but so worth it. It was lovely to bike around a small village near the temples and see the plantations. We had another guide Salwa for this who was super nice and knowledgeable about the village, plantations and the temples. I recommend considering this tour for your trip to Yogyakarta.
Thanks for coming. Glad to have you guys, welcome back anytime!
The tour was great. Nice temples and a great guide that did not rush things. Really friendly and informative. The temples you visit are really cool and not crowded like Borobudur or the Prambanan complex.
Thanks for coming and using our service. Glad to have you, please welcome back anytime! 🙂🙏
I highly recommend this tour for those travelers with a passion for architecture and archeology who want to go a little off the beaten path. We had pretty much every temple we visited to ourselves, and they were each distinct, atmospheric, and fascinating. Bagus was an excellent guide, who also arranged for us to have a delicious lunch and incorporate Prambanan itself as the capstone of our visit.
Thanks for coming and using our service. Gland to have you, welcome back anytime 🙂🙏
This was a great all-day tour exploring many different temples in the general vicinity of Prambanan. Each temple seemed bigger, grander, or otherwise more impressive than the last. We had several of them all to ourselves. At our request, the company customized the tour to add a stop at Prambanan itself. Our guide, Bagus, was very friendly and knowledgeable and adapted well to our preferences. We were taken to a very nice restaurant for lunch (an extra expense) and an interesting coffee bar after the last temple visit (another extra expense). We were also connected with a knowledgeable and entertaining guide at Prambanan, which did not allow outside guides. Overall, we would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see more temples than just the “big one” of Prambanan—which was, indeed, magnificent.
Thanks for coming and great review. We were happy to have you, welcome back anytime in the future.
