Fajar our driver contacted us a day before our activity via WhatsApp, and communicated well. He was early for our pick-up and his driving was excellent. He speaks English very well and gave us useful tips and information about Yogya. The entire activity was well coordinated, and we knew exactly what was the flow. Our assigned Borobudur guide Ati was also informative and showed us all the good photo spots (and took photos for us, and for the other families in our group). Overall a highly recommended activity - the sunset tour is pricier than the regular ones, but we like it that there were only two groups (of ~10 pax each) today, and we had the grounds to ourselves with plenty of free time. Buffet dinner was decent.
Budi was a very enthusiastic driver and gave us loads of information about the area while answered all our general questions. The temple is cool, but I would’ve preferred Budi to show us around. The temple provides their own guides, and mine wasn’t so easy to understand. I had a nice day out
Visiting Borobudur was the highlight of our trip. The sunset, even with the light rain, was gorgeous and there was only one other party other than us. While the tour is shared, when we got their our amazing driver, Toni, helped us easily get a private tour for only 200k Rupiah more. Fellen, our tour guide, was spectacular. She gave us a ton of history, guided us to see the things we wanted to see, and was just so bright and funny.
I had an amazing experience visiting Borobudur in a solo travel. I had the luck to have as a driver Mr.Badi that made my experience much better , he was very helpful, polite and had care for any of my need. I then booked two more experiences with the same company and had a very good experience with Toni as I driver. I’m very grateful for them as they also were very honest with pricing regardless I was on solo travel they gave me excellent and fair price. Thanks for everything! I definitely raccomand to anyone
Budi my driver was very knowledge about Yogyakarta. the trip was very pleasant. all participant was expected a better dinner, that only a soup with rice and fruit. the temple guide know very well the story and love to take pictures. i really enjoyed the trip
The Borobudur temple trip was great, we also visited another site called the Mendut monastery. Our guide & driver was called Vega and he was superb. We started the tour at 14.00 and finished at around 21.00. The Borobudur sunset experience got rained off (our fault for visiting in rainy season). But we did have a good 20 minutes at the top before the rain fell, for enough photos and getting a feel of the place. The included meal was at the restutant at the base of the temple. You could pick anything from the menu apart from the beef steak or Salmon. Wine/beer or dessert is not included you have to pay extra. Vega drove us very safely throughout the whole day and we had many great conversations along the way.
Amazing sunset and well organised tour. Vega was an excellent driver and guide making me feel welcome and giving me lots of tips and suggestions for the rest of my trip. Would definitely recommend.
It was a wonderful trip today, and I truly had a great time throughout the journey. The experience exceeded my expectations. I would like to sincerely thank you for arranging such a pleasant trip. Special thanks to the driver—he was very kind, friendly, and professional.
The enjoyment of our wonderful guide Vega, who took time to share his Java, with us, a great courteous driver, and a joy to be on his tour.
You won’t find a better guide. Courteous and knowledgeable, he brought the temples to life with expert commentary.
