Initially, we had only booked the Mount Merapi Jeep Sunrise Tour. However, after meeting our guide, Atok, we decided to extend our day and visit both Borobudur and Prambanan temples as well. While Merapi and the temples were absolutely incredible experiences, the true highlight of the trip was Atok himself. He was everything you could ask for in a guide: knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, and highly accommodating. Whenever we wanted to make additional stops that matched our personal interests—such as learning about kopi luwak or visiting a batik shop—Atok arranged everything seamlessly. His insights into Javanese culture, history, and daily life added tremendous value to the experience, and his flexibility allowed us to tailor the day to our interests without ever feeling rushed. We highly recommend Atok to anyone visiting Yogyakarta. He turned a great day of sightseeing into an unforgettable experience.
Amazing day and great driver!

Had an absolutely amazing day - all 3 of the experiences are well organized. Borobudur and Prambanan are absolutely marvelous. I did the sunrise tour at Borobudur, which was absolutely magical. I also need to recognize my driver (Ardhan Hanif) who was incredible. This was a solo tour, so having a friendly driver with great English was really nice. He even acted as tour guide between the 3 main stops, showing me different types of coffees, fruits (ask to get snakeskin fruit, it's amazing), and teaching me about Indonesian culture. If I come back with friends I would absolutely book the same tour, and hope I get the same driver too:)
Excellent driver / guide professional, punctual and flexible. Thanks pak haidar!

Had a fantastic day out with Youss, who made me feel comfortable despite being the only person on the tour and who was great fun to chat with! The sights are amazing, the sequence of activities keeps you awake despite the early start, and Youss made sure there was time for a nap too had I needed it. Definitely recommend the tour 🙂

Borobudur and Prambanan are two of the most spectacular temples in the world — up there with Angkor Watt. Our guide was wonderful. Patient, responsive and helpful in so many ways. Do not miss this trip.
Private tour, great time!!

What an incredible experience!! Our tour guide Atok was so friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us fantastic suggestions for the rest of our stay in Jogja. The sunrise tour of Borobudur temple was beautiful and well worth waking up early for. Despite the sun visible through the clouds for only a brief moment, the ripples of the colorful pallete it cast over the surroundings and the temple were breath-taking and not to be missed! The jeep tour of Mt. Merapi was an exciting adventure with many different stops with views of the volcano, paired with educational moments of how the volcanic activity impacts local life. We finished the day with a tour of many temples within Prambadan which Atok told us the local folklore along with the history behind many of the impressive structures. We highly recommend this trip!! Thank you so much to all who made it a special day!
Fantastic experience with Haider and Teja

Haidar was fantastic! He knew the history of the temples and the general history of Jogja well. He also booked Mr. Teja as my guide for the Prabanan Temple. Mr. Teja was very well knowledgeable about the temple's history and the cultural significance of the architecture.
Fantastic tour - do it!

I had a fantastic experience on this excursion with Yuni, my guide and driver (I was alone). We left Yogyakarta at 3:30 a.m. and arrived at Borobudur before sunrise. The local guide then drove us to the temple, where we admired the site. Given the season and the current international situation, there were only ten of us (whereas the number of participants for sunrise viewing is usually limited to around one hundred). With Yuni, we then went to Mount Merapi, where a jeep driver took me to see the still-active volcano. We also visited a bunker and a museum (a house partially destroyed by lava). Finally, still with Yuni, we went to Prambanan, our last destination. Yuni told me the history of this place.
