Borobudur sobe ao topo, templo Prambanan e balé Ramayana

This tour was exceptional and the guide (Bima) was phenomenal. Not only were the main sights (Borobudur and Prambanan) very impressive, the information that Bima shared really enriched the experience, and he was very pleasant to share a day with. His driving was very good, and after adding an interesting church visit in between the two main sites, he took us to a local bakery to sample amazing treats (and he made sure that our allergies were accommodated). The sunset at one of the temples near Prambanan, followed by a nice dinner and entertaining ballet, were the icing on the cake. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough, for the incredible sites but also thanks to the expertise and care of the guide!

The Prambanan Ramayana Ballet was an exceptionally holistic and unforgettable experience. I highly recommend Pak Matthias as a tour guide—his deep historical and local knowledge, flexibility, warm hospitality, and ability to make you feel completely at ease truly enhanced the journey. The dining spot was thoughtfully chosen, the sunset tour was serene and expansive, and the ballet itself was a magical, fully immersive performance. If you want to connect with the ancient culture of East Java in a meaningful way, this experience is an absolute must.

Our guide Dani is really amazing. He is very warm and friendly and he is very knowledgeable in the history of different religions in this region. His explanation makes us appreciate the existence of the largest Buddhist temple Borobudur and the magnificent Prambanan Hindu temple in a predominantly Muslim country Indonesia. For those who like cultural things and value religious harmony in a volatile and crazy world of today, this trip will help you put many things in perspective. Highly recommended.

They picked us up from the hotel in Jogya, the driver was also our guide to Prambanan, then drove us to the restaurant for dinner and to the Ramayana ballet theater. He went out of his way to make our trip comfortable. It was raining cats and dogs when we got to the theater, but he went in the rain to get us umbrellas, stepping in shin-high water to do so. Very grateful. Prambanan is beautiful and well worth a visit. Evenings are a good time to go, but there was no need to leave at 2 pm. We had to wait an hour and a half for the sunset after the visit, although we explored each of the 6 main temples inside and out. The Ramayana musical and dance was spectacular and I would go back just for that. Prambanan lit in the evening is a sight to behold.

Bima was the absolute best! Picked me up early at my out-of-the-way hotel in Solo, great conversation in very good English that made the ride feel short, made sure I had everything I needed for my temple visits, including water and an umbrella. Told me the story of Rama and Sita with the Prambanan murals so I would understand the Ramayana ballet. Even climbed a tree (against my objections) to pick rambutans for me because I had said I liked them. This was an amazing day that I will remember for the rest of my life. Thank you, Bima!

A tour is only as good as its guide, and Pak Dani was exceptional! Dani’s exceptional knowledge brought the history, symbolism, and cultural significance of Borobudur and Prambanan temples and the Ramayana ballet to life, providing more than a standard sightseeing tour. Beyond the sites themselves, Dani navigated expertly, with local insider knowledge and connections to get us around more smoothly. He offered excellent local food recommendations, giving us a more authentic and well-rounded experience of Yogyakarta. Highly recommend this tour company (and guide) for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Yogyakarta’s heritage.

Bima, our driver and guide, was knowledgeable and attentive. We started with Borobodur where Bima was mindful about our needs and guided is all the way to the local guide. He made sure to show us to the restroom and also explained to us what to expect. After Borobodur we went to Prabanam where Bima truly shines. He explained to us the local legend and the history of the place while helping us capture the moments at the most scenic spots. He also made sure to get us the show tickets while we had dinner and we had a very good seats to the evening show. He also drove us around the city afterwards and tried his best to accommodate our needs and answer our questions. We would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming guide.
