Great service, punctual, friendly
Getting a private driver to pick us to and fro Borobudur was great! We benefited from staying at a hotel near the temple so we got there early. Wisata Aman Nyaman reached out a day before to confirm the time and driver, and Ekko picked us up on the actual day. Ekko was punctual, helped us with ticketing, explained the history of Borobudur briefly, before we were led by the temple’s official guide. Thank you for getting us there and back!
Operator response
Thank you so much for sharing your great experience! Everyone at Journeast Indonesia is thrilled to hear that your visit to Borobudur went so smoothly from start to finish.
We are delighted that our advance confirmation gave you peace of mind and that staying nearby allowed for such an early, enjoyable visit. It is wonderful to know that Ekko looked after you so well with his punctuality, ticketing assistance, and helpful introduction before you met your official temple guide. We will gladly share your kind appreciation with Ekko and our coordination team—they will be so happy to hear your feedback!
Thank you again for choosing Journeast Indonesia for your journey. We hope to welcome you back for another fantastic adventure in the future!
Warm regards,
The Journeast Indonesia Team

Good trip to Borobudur temple, but no Prambanan temple visit included
For the most part this trip was great, however the late notice of one of the temples not being open was disappointing. We were told quite last minute by the tour provider that this would be the case, after I'd already try to make contact,as I had been told by someone that one of the temples was not accepting guests due to being closed off for a presidential visit, so being able to book this was disappointing.
Sunrise at Borobudur temple was a good experience to have - the tour guide was great, really helpful throughout though sometimes was stood in places where the whole group couldn't hear or started talking about something when everyone was not present. However as there are limited numbers allowed onto the site this helped towards a good experiencing in being able to see and experience different things.
Seeing the lands lighting up was beautiful. However it felt like we were there for too long, there was a lot of waiting around before /after sunrise, and unfortunately the clouds rolling in meant we couldn't actually see the sunrise. So it was a little too long, but breakfast being included was a good addition.
Operator response
The management of Prambanan Temple announced the closure just one day prior to the date. This was an unforeseen circumstance entirely beyond our control and a clear case of force majeure. We notified you immediately as soon as the official announcement was made.
At that time, we provided you with clear options: a full cancellation with a 100% refund, or a partial refund for Prambanan while proceeding with the visit to Borobudur Temple. You knowingly and willingly chose to proceed with the Borobudur visit.
Consequently, we issued a refund for your Prambanan ticket and even gave you a discount on the transport cost since you only visited one temple that day.
You accepted this solution with full awareness, so it is deeply unfair that you are now holding us accountable for a situation we did not cause.
Please understand that the temple closure applied to all visitors without exception. Leaving a negative rating for an event completely outside our control is unjust, especially after you willingly accepted our compensation.
Leaving a damaging review under these circumstances is neither fair nor mature, considering you were fully informed and chose the solution yourself.

Sunrise at Borobudur is so worth it; we had the best driver in all Yogyakarta
An amazing experience and very much worth the additional price for the sunrise. Tour groups were kept to a very manageable size and you didn’t feel crowded. Breakfast after was also very worthwhile after an early start and the climb to the top.
Our driver was Praja and he is fantastic. Exceptional service, very attentive and super fun to be around. Praja made the Borobudur experience that much better and would highly recommend his service
Operator response
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We are thrilled to hear that the sunrise experience at Borobudur and the breakfast were well worth it for you. We always aim to keep our tour groups comfortable so everyone can truly enjoy the atmosphere without feeling crowded.
We will definitely pass your generous praise along to Praja. He will be so happy to hear that his fun energy, attentiveness, and exceptional service made your experience even more special. Thank you for highly recommending him!
We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in the future. Safe travels!

Satisfied from start to finish!
Our guide Jarot picked us up at our hotel and brought us to Borobudur for the sunrise temple with breakfast experience. Highly recommended! Good communication in advance where we received a whatsapp message a day in advance to confirm our details and supplies. Once there we craved one of our guide a very interesting tour to the top of the temple. We were 5 groups of 10 who were allowed in so we had all the luxury to take pictures without the crowds of others. It was very nice to see the temple and the greenery around it in all the different colors of the rising sun! After breakfast Jarot brought us back to the hotel. He offered us a stopover without obligation to taste Kopi Luwak somewhere. Do know that if you go along with this, you pay 80,000 IDR for a small bag, unless you buy coffee locally to take home.
Operator response
We love hearing about your amazing morning at the top of the temple! Getting those perfect photos without the crowds is exactly what makes this experience so special. Thank you for choosing Journeast Indonesia for your Borobudur and Prambanan temple tour. We truly appreciate your trust and your helpful tips for future travelers. Safe travels, and see you on your next adventure!

Great day trip to Borobudur & Prambanan temples with Jarot, our driver.
Jarot was a safe driver with good command of English. He was courteous, friendly, polite, and knowledgeable. He took us to a place to get some kopi luak for home. Much appreciated. We would recommend him to take you on a tour in Yogyakarta.
Operator response
Thank you so much for the glowing review! We are thrilled to hear that Jarot made your time in Yogyakarta so memorable. He prides himself on his professionalism and local knowledge, and he’ll be delighted to know you enjoyed the kopi luwak stop. We look forward to welcoming you back again!

BEST BOROBUDUR TOUR!!!
As a solo traveler with limited time in Yogyakarta, I found it challenging to find a tour that offered flexible departure times to visit Borobudur Temple.
Journeast Indonesia provided ease in both departure times and group size. They handled everything from temple tickets to guides and comfortable transportation. And all is included on price, no additional cost at all except your personal expenses..
The vehicle was clean, and the AC worked well. The driver, who also acted as the tour manager for the day, was Vega.
This tour is perfect for those who want to visit Borobudur Temple with flexible timing. They offer both shared and private transportation options, so you can choose what suits your needs.
It was truly stress-free and an amazing experience! I highly recommend Journeast Indonesia; they are professional and very experienced.

Good and best option to Borobudur
The tour was truly perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
Aditya (our driver) treated us very well, kind and smiling, sharing information about Borobudur (our visit of the day) and Yogyakarta, making sure we felt good always. They even gave us mineral water bottles.
We liked that we made a short stop we weren't expecting to try some Kopi Luwak, and the return trip was just as good.
Really recommend it.
Operator response
Thanks so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a truly perfect tour experience with us.
We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Aditya. We're so proud to have him on our team, and it's fantastic to know that he made your trip to Borobudur and Yogyakarta so special.
It's our goal at Journeast Indonesia to ensure every guest feels comfortable and well-cared for, so we're happy to hear you appreciated the small touches, like the mineral water.
We're also glad you enjoyed the unexpected stop for a taste of Kopi Luwak. We love adding these unique local experiences to our tours!
