Great Journey to know the Yogyakarta's temples in short time..
Th driver Atok is a great gide, support and entertainment for the journey. He has 10/10, He was kind, efficient, professional and with a lot of information.
He has excelent english, and this make the difference in communication and the experience. It is a great point
The plan could be better if you get a time to lunch, between morning and afternoon. The activity is too heavy if we visit both temples, it was hard to visit prambanan temple at noon, but the guide there was excellent . By the other hand, The merapi lava tour is not a good place if there are not visibility. Our expectations in the volcano is view it, no to watch the museum they is so poor for international visitors .

Amazing
This was a great tour. Borobudur was amazing and, despite the clouds, we were lucky to see the sunrise from inside the temple. Not so lucky with Mt Merapi which was completely obscured by clouds, but still an enjoyable jeep ride. Very sad to see the destruction from the eruptions. Prambanan temple was equally spectacular as Borobudur. Atok, our driver and guide was awesome. His explanations were detailed, he spoke very good english and he presented various aspects related to day-to-day life, besides information related to the places we saw. His explanations at Prambanan were very detailed and entertaining. At the end, he also made a stop at Plaosan temple (it was under renovations, but we had a good look from outside). We highly recommend this tour and Atok, one of the best tour guides we ever had!

Wonderful temple tour
Great day out with my wonderful driver Brian. It was a super early pick up, 3am!, but he was right on time and I felt very safe with him. He organized everything at each of the sites, including English speaking guides. It’s a big day out, but highly recommend it. Starting early means you avoid the heat. Lots of options when you’re booking. Note: Sunrise inside the temple is worth it - and includes breakfast I discovered.

Fantastic experience,...
Fantastic experience, incredible places, perhaps a bit too tight of a pace after waking up at 2:30 am. But an experience to have in life. Ega, our driver, was excellent, kind, friendly, and always available. Thanks a lot!

Excellence
Great service, very easy to book and to communicate with the company.
The tour is very well organized, with enough time at each place to fully appreciate it and flexible.
Our driver-guide Brian was excellent from the start, having contacted us the day before to confirm our pick and costumize it for us.
Having everything included and Brian to collect all tickets for us is a bliss.
Highly recommend.

Volcanoes and Temples
Initially, we had only booked the Mount Merapi Jeep Sunrise Tour. However, after meeting our guide, Atok, we decided to extend our day and visit both Borobudur and Prambanan temples as well.
While Merapi and the temples were absolutely incredible experiences, the true highlight of the trip was Atok himself. He was everything you could ask for in a guide: knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, and highly accommodating. Whenever we wanted to make additional stops that matched our personal interests—such as learning about kopi luwak or visiting a batik shop—Atok arranged everything seamlessly.
His insights into Javanese culture, history, and daily life added tremendous value to the experience, and his flexibility allowed us to tailor the day to our interests without ever feeling rushed.
We highly recommend Atok to anyone visiting Yogyakarta. He turned a great day of sightseeing into an unforgettable experience.

Amazing day and great driver!
Had an absolutely amazing day - all 3 of the experiences are well organized. Borobudur and Prambanan are absolutely marvelous. I did the sunrise tour at Borobudur, which was absolutely magical.
I also need to recognize my driver (Ardhan Hanif) who was incredible. This was a solo tour, so having a friendly driver with great English was really nice. He even acted as tour guide between the 3 main stops, showing me different types of coffees, fruits (ask to get snakeskin fruit, it's amazing), and teaching me about Indonesian culture.
If I come back with friends I would absolutely book the same tour, and hope I get the same driver too:)
