Absolutely wonderful day trip from Yogyakarta! This is the kind of day that travel dreams are made of. Two awe-inspiring, 9th-century, palatial temple complexes (Borobudur, a Buddhist world wonder, and Prambanan, a Hindu masterpiece) in one day! The tour was very professionally organized and well timed. Communication was great, and began the day I booked the tour, months ago. My guide/driver was Nusrul, and it was a joy spending the day talking with him about Indonesia as we drove between Yogyakarta and these magnificent UNESCO World Heritage sites. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you for making my time in Central Java so memorable.

We did business with Wahyu Travel Indonesia to make Borobudur and Prambanan Temples. Communications with Wahyu are very good and are done in both French and English impecably. Utama Wijava was our guide. We liked it so much that we asked for its services for 2 more days. He is a thoughtful, polite guide/driver with excellent driving. We were able to discuss with him about Indonesian culture and habits in general. He's a very well-educated person. We highly recommend this agency and guide. Thank you Wahyu and Utama.

Un grand merci également pour vos mots à propos d’Utama Wijaya. Nous sommes heureux de savoir qu’il a contribué à rendre votre séjour encore plus agréable, et qu’il a pu partager avec vous la culture indonésienne. Ce sera toujours un plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau à Java pour de nouvelles découvertes. Merci encore pour votre confiance. Bien cordialement, Wahyu Wahyu Travel Indonesia 🇮🇩

It is a reliable and reasonably priced travel agency. Waryu and his driver/guide Gito have been professional, punctual, good English, and have a good general culture. I highly recommend this travel agency, on a human scale and perfectly professional.

Pak Gito was our driver for two day trips: Borobudur and Prambanan one day, the Mt Merapi countryside dnd jungle the next, He was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful every way, including allowing us to sample local good crops along the way (snake fruits), and helping us with the purchase of our train ticket for the next keg of our journey. I highly recommend Wahyu travel for their local knowledge dnd network of local contacts to facilitate a totally genuine travel experience.
