Excellent tour guide
Very nice trip. Excellent driver. Always on time and helpful. Thanks for a very nice day. Best recommendation from us
S
RIP OFF
My driver was really nice. The price for what you are getting is a rip off. It is best to book a Grab and get your ticket at the door. The mark up is 75%.

Make sure you know “Regular” ticket does not give full temple access
Driver was fine and temple is incredibly impressive but we had expected/hoped to be to go up the stairs to the temple and thought we had purchased a guided tour. Apparently our “Regular” ticket did not cover these, though we got to skip the lines, which was nice. You can still walk around the outside of the temple but a bit confusing of a ticket access process would be my feedback.
P
Good alternative to sunrise tours
Good tour for those not wishing to get up for a sunrise tour like most are and also a half day rather than full day which suited my schedule better. Professional driver/guide who also gave a good local lunch recommendation at Borobudur.
C
Half day tour
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. After the main temple we visited a civit coffee cafe - coffee was delicious. Our whole trip was very pleasant and informative. Our guide was just great. Highly recommended.
R
Poetry in stone
There are monuments and there are monuments... and this one is simply incredible. We had a great guide to show us round: Dani made it a memorable visit with his fund of stories and a deep involvement that drew us in.

Good company!
My guide was wonderful! He was a good source of information on the details and the history of Borobudur and surrounding temples. As a solo traveler, he was also a good source of conversation! He went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable and doing what I wanted to do to get the most out of the experience.

Excellent tour of Borobudur and two other local temples!
This was a great tour at a good price! We knew we didn't need a whole day to see Borobudur, so this half day looked perfect, and it was. We were picked up early at 8 by our driver, who took us to Borobudur. It wasn't too busy - Monday is a good day to go. The tour had arranged for an English-speaking guide, who met us once we had passed inside. The guide was extremely informative and took us on a fascinating hour-long winding walk up to the top of the temple, then left us to enjoy the rest of our time. Once we were done, we met up with our driver again and we were off to two smaller temples nearby, Pawon, then Mendut. Right next to Mendut temple is a Buddhist monastery which I highly recommend stopping by. All in all a well-scheduled and organized tour.
