Great day visit to Borobudur. It’s about an hour from central Jogya and our driver was excellent, navigating the challenging traffic with skill and good humour. She took us through the ticketing etc and made sure we were all set for the next tour. The Temple is massive and the tour guide explained the history very well. It was of course hot & humid but that didn’t detract from an excellent experience.

Atok was a Great driver and a Guide - providing us with so much Information. Everything was excellently organized - the afternoon tour was relaxed and the sun down at Prambanan is really incredible. A good alternative to the sun rise tours.

My wife and I booked a private tour to visit the Prambanan and Borobudur Temples with JogjaBorobudur, and we had an excellent experience from start to finish. Our initial contact was by email with the team, and we later continued the arrangements via WhatsApp. Throughout the entire process, the team was very attentive, helpful, and responsive. One day before the tour, we received a message with the contact details of our driver, Brian. He picked us up exactly at the agreed time, with a very comfortable, clean, and spacious car. Brian was extremely attentive and friendly throughout the entire journey, making the experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend JogjaBorobudur to anyone looking for a private tour to Prambanan and Borobudur. Everything was very well organized, and we are sure you will have an excellent experience with this company!
We had a wonderful experience visiting both Buddhist and Hindu temple. All guides were excellent and our driver Brian was brilliant. The whole tour was very enjoyable.
Very helpful driver/tour guide (Fery). Made our experience much better. Driver is punctual, picking you up on time, collets the ticket beforehand and guide you throughout the whole tour. He also took us to authentic Indonesian restaurants nearby Prambanan Temple which was delicious and serves tasty seafood
A day of pleasure. We had a wonderful day with our excellent, caring and super pleasant driver and guide Ardhan - with rest stop at a lovely resto in a very beaufiful, lush place. Our best and warmest recommendation from Niels & Charlotte, Copenhagen, Danmark
We absolutely loved the tour. It ended up being just the two of us as a couple with the guide, which made the experience even more special. The temples are beautiful and quite far from Yogyakarta, so having transportation arranged for you is really convenient. Our guide, Haidar, was incredibly friendly, explained many things in detail, and answered all of our questions.
It was such an amazing experience! The temples were breathtaking. Brian was also incredibly helpful and on time in the morning. He also gave food suggestions and went out of his way to look up some other local crafts I could shop in the area. Highly recommend!
We have Antoni as driver for our one day trip around Yogyakarta. He was very professional and safe driving and speaks very very good English. Whole trip was well organized. If there is option to go for jeep drive under Mnt Merapi, my advise is to start with this activity as early as possible to have chance for clear sky /in afternoon it is usually cloudy/
Wonderful informative experience! Since it was off season, I was only person on tour. Yuni,my guide and driver was absolutely wonderful@! He gave me thorough histories of Indonesia, temples and everyday life. Very worth it.
We had the best experience in the world thanks to Yuni. He is a very kind and professional person, who will make you feel comfortabel and have an amazing experience. He is also very funny and knows exactly how to speak to each person. For example, my parents joined me for this trip and he knew exactly how to entertain my parents and make them feel at home too! Very respectful and interested in our stories. You can tell that he loves what he does, and loves to learn about other people and where they come from! Hope to see you again soon Yuni. We wish you and your family all the best and luck in the world!
We did the sunrise tour to Borobudur Temple, followed by a visit to Prambanan Temple, and it was easily one of the highlights of our time in Yogyakarta. Watching the sunrise from the top of Borobudur is something truly special. There’s a quiet, almost mystical atmosphere up there that’s hard to put into words. The access groups are small enough to enjoy the temple without feeling rushed or overwhelmed, which makes a huge difference. After the sunrise, we were treated to an excellent buffet-style breakfast at a nearby center — varied, well-organized, and much better than expected. The temples themselves are simply breathtaking, but what really elevated the experience was our guide, Yuni. He picked us up very early at our accommodation and made the entire day flow effortlessly. During the drives, he shared stories and insights not only about the temples, but also about daily life, culture, and traditions in Yogyakarta. He even stopped to buy us local fruit so we could try it — a small gesture that says a lot. At Prambanan, Yuni guided us through the complex with clear explanations and genuine enthusiasm, always attentive and easy to talk to. He didn’t just guide us from point A to B — he genuinely made the day better. All in all, this is an absolute must-do in Yogyakarta. Highly recommended — and if possible, do it with Yuni.
It was wonderful to discover Borobudur and Prambanan with Yuni during a whole day trip from Yogyakarta ! I recommend 100% Yuni who is the perfect guide : a sweet person who loves to share the history of his country, always with good vibes. Thank you again
I traveled solo in Yogyakarta and had an amazing experience with Yuni. He is extremely knowledgeable and shared so much history and cultural insight throughout the tour. What made the experience extra special was that he took me to a local market that felt like a true hidden gem—completely off the tourist path and not listed anywhere online. It gave me a very authentic glimpse into local life. Yuni was professional, thoughtful, and made me feel very comfortable as a solo traveler. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Yogyakarta!
This tour was the absolute highlight of our trip to Yogyakarta! Visiting both Borobudur and Prambanan in one day can be exhausting, but this all-inclusive package made everything seamless and stress-free. Our guide, Yuni, was exceptional and truly made the experience special. From the start, Yuni was punctual, incredibly friendly, and shared a wealth of knowledge about the history and architecture of the temples. We learned so much more than we would have by just reading the signs. Beyond the history, Yuni was a fantastic photographer, knowing exactly where to stand for the best shots, and made sure we stayed hydrated and comfortable throughout the heat. The logistics (tickets, transport, and lunch) were handled perfectly, allowing us to just focus on the beauty of the sites. If you are booking this trip, I highly recommend requesting Yuni as your guide. Thank you, Yuni, for your kindness and for making our visit to Indonesia so memorable!
Visiting Borobudur has been on my list for a long time and I’m glad I finally got the chance to visit. Yuni picked me up for the sunrise hike; we made a short stop at Ayam Gereja and then we went to Borobudur where he helped me get through the entrance procedures and waited with me for the temple guide. As a solo female traveller, I felt well taken care of at all times and he made sure I was safe. During the car ride, we also talked about cultural practices in Java. After the tour I asked for a recommendation for lunch and he dropped me off at a delicious nasi padang place.
Yuni was the best guide that we had in all of Indonesia! I would highly recommend him to anyone. He made sure we understood everything we were seeing and explained the history very well!!
The tour was great, the guide had very good English and hospitality. The Burbadur temple climb was a great experience and the restaurant he took us us lunch was also very nice with yummy food.
Borobudur is truly one of the world’s most amazing places and Yuni was exceptional. He made sure everything from tickets to wearing the proper slippers was taken care of. He took great photos of us as well to keep as memories of such a remarkable place. Yuni was one of the best guides we had anywhere during our travels in Asia, and Borobudur is a must-visit monument. We’re grateful it’s been so well preserved to help visitors like us learn more about the deep, impressive history of Java and Yogyakarta.
We liked the Tour with yuni a lot! We saw a lot in our full day private Tour and even some monkeys. We could customize it to our needs. Yuni was a very Kind Person.
Yuni is an amazing guide! We did the tour together in a small group, which made it very enjoyable. He has a lot of knowledge about the temples and is very friendly. His enthusiasm is contagious. Highly recommended!
Really interesting tour led superbly by Yuri. He was an excellent guide and made sure everyone had all they needed for a great day. Would 100pc recommend
Wer hat a great time with our guide Yuni! Yuni was very knowledgable and explained us a lot of interesting details. The Tour was really amazing
Well worth the price. Entry fee included even when entry tickets were all sold out. Great guide and great vehicle transport.
The trip to Borobudur and Prambanan was an unforgettable experience for us. Our guide Yuni was so kind and informative about Indonesian culture. It was a great experience having him as our guide and driver for the day.
Very good Tour. Easy Communication via WhatsApp and they even were able to change our Pick-up time on short notice. Great Service. It also was the only Tour we could find that included the temple Tickets at a fair price that was close to the original price from the temple itself. Everything was well organized. Our driver Yuni was perfectly on time and flexible about the pick-up and drop-off locations. He provided a lot of useful information, redeemed our Tickets at the temple and guided us straight through all stations at the temple until we reached our tour group and the local guide so that we didn't had to figure out what to do where on our own and thus didn't lose any time there. After the Tour at the temple he was already waiting for us at the Exit and took us back to the city. The ride was safe, smooth and interesting. We definitely can recommend this tour.
Yuni is a really funny guy. The day was great with him! He helped us to take pictures, and dropped us at the train station at the end of the day!
We joined the “Borobudur Climb & Prambanan Temple” day tour from Yogyakarta, and it was a fantastic experience. Yuni was our guide, and he communicated with us clearly and promptly in advance, which made planning very smooth. He picked us up at Yogyakarta International Airport, took us to Borobudur and Prambanan for sightseeing, and everything was well organized and on time. On the way back, he kindly stopped by Yogyakarta city so we could do a bit of sightseeing in town before dropping us off at our hotel near Yogyakarta International Airport again. That extra flexibility was really appreciated. Yuni was incredibly friendly and shared lots of explanations and interesting background during the visits, which made the trip even more enjoyable. His English is also very fluent, so communication was easy throughout the day. Highly recommended if you want a reliable and enjoyable day trip to Borobudur and Prambanan.
Our driver Yuni was excellent! He made sure that we got the best guides when touring temples, and was very knowledgeable about the history of Yogya.
We had an excellent day exploring Borobudur with Yuni as our guide and driver. He was professional, punctual, and deeply knowledgeable about the history, culture, and practical details that made the experience smooth and enriching. Everything was well organized, from transport to timing at the sites, and Yuni’s calm, friendly approach made the day both easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour, and especially Yuni, to anyone visiting Yogyakarta.
Yuni made us feel truly welcomed throughout our time in Yogyakarta. He was more than a driver he was a guide, a friend and a big help. He helped us plan, gave great suggestions and made sure we felt safe and comfortable the whole way. Truly made our trip smooth and memorable. Highly recommended!

I joined this tour and was simply AMAZING! Special mention to our driver/guide Yuni. He is a wonderful person who made our experience even better 🤞🏼
During my stay in jokjakarta with my daughter, we were guided by one of the best nicest and friendly drivers, Yuni. If you ever visit jokjakarta and need an experienced english speaking driver, then I would sincerely recommend Yuni. Rick & Tonisha
We had an amazing time, our guide Yuni picked us up at our hotel and arranged everything. The temples are honestly astonishing and Yuni made us feel comfortable and gave us a lot of information about the history, the culture and even the environment of the places we visited. Absolutely recommended!
yuni was very helpful and courteous when tending to our needs. Overall the trip was smooth and everyone enjoyed fully. Yuni is also very knowledgeable and informative when showcasing the history of both Borobudur and Prambanan temple. Definitely will recommend to anyone visiting Yogyakarta. 10/10
Had a great time visiting Borobudur and Prambanan temples. Special thanks for Yuni for being highly energetic, helpful and being there at every step. He also helped me with Wi-Fi when I had to work.
It was a perfect experience. Everything was delightful, and our driver Kin shared his cultural knowledge with passion ! He was very careful towards us. The timing between the activities was perfectly balanced, we had enough time to enjoy each part of the trip. Thank you so much!
My girlfriend and I went to visit Borobudur and Prambanan with Yuni who guided us around and shared many stories and anedoctes about the temples and the Indonesian culture. The day was amazing, an experience suggested to everyone!
Haidar has been an incredible guide! Very helpful and knowledgeable about the temples, he is always willing to make the tour as interesting as possible. Whereas the tour itself was well organized, is takes around 9-10 hours to come back
Had an amazing experience with Tiche! It was a very smooth experience and Tiche made sure everything was alright. He was very funny and friendly and my girlfriend felt very at ease and safe. Would highly recommend!
Very nice experience, both Borobudur and Prambanan temples are really impressive. Our guide, Haidar was attentive to our needs: we had some extra time to kill and he organized extra activities for us: the Mendut Buddhist monastery and Kopi Luwak tasting. His driving style was a bit "adventurous" though.
