What people are saying about Prambanan

This day trip is absolutely recommended. We were picked up promptly at 4am by our guide Imam. A very friendly man who immediately started talking enthusiastically about Yogyakarta and the history of the city. After about an hour of driving we arrived at the mountain where we went to watch the sunrise. What an amazing view and we were treated to a beautiful sunrise. Then Imam drove us to a breakfast spot. It looks very local but it was great and delicious. We did not experience any stomach or intestinal problems. Then back in the car (about 1.5 hours). Imam arranged everything at both Borobudur and Prambanan and we did not have to queue or anything like that. That's what you pay for. Imam will take you to your guide at both temples and he will be waiting for you again after the tour. Very nice not to have to think about anything and to be relieved. Our advice would be to ask for Imam when booking. Have fun! It's a great day!

My group could not have been more thrilled! Dedhy took us to the temples and we also had him take us to the airport the next day. his English is just outstanding, his driving was safe, all of his instructions were very clear, he answered all our questions about life in Java, and we had a lot of fun with him. him. Highly highly recommend. He even threw in an airport pickup for us. Honestly, after 2 days together, it felt like he was part of our family. You will not be disappointed if you book this tour!

The day trip was great. My driver Ipung is accommodative to our plan and patiently waits while we stop for sightseeing and take our time. He would give suggestions to our plan as well, and provide nearby hangout spots near the hotel for our reference. He can communicate well with us.

Awesome! Few visitors due to Ramadan, so it is wonderfully quiet. Good Dutch-speaking guide with a lot of knowledge of the history. Highly recommended!

Had a great day out with our driver Adit who was very welcoming and accommodating. Would highly recommend this experience as you won't regret it!
