What To Expect
Borobudur Temple
Explore the biggest Buddhist temple in the world Learn from your guide about the history of Borobudur temple This famous Buddhist temple, dating from the 8th and 9th centuries, is located in central Java. It was built in three tiers: a pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces, the trunk of a cone with three circular platforms and, at the top, a monumental stupa. The walls and balustrades are decorated with fine low reliefs, covering a total surface area of 2,500 m2. Around the circular platforms are 72 openwork stupas, each containing a statue of the Buddha. The monument was restored with UNESCO's help in the 1970s. Pick up and drop off transportation by private car from Yogyakarta ( Borobudur tickets 455.000 IDR / person )
Prambanan Temples
Explore the Trimurti temples dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma and Listen to the explanation from your guide about the history of the Prambanan temple. Some historians that adhere to dual dynasty theory suggest that the construction of Prambanan probably was meant as the Hindu Sanjaya dynasty's answer to the Buddhist Sailendra dynasty's Borobudur and Sewu temples nearby, and was meant to mark the return of the Hindu Sanjaya dynasty to power in Central Java after almost a century of Buddhist Sailendra dynasty domination. Nevertheless, the construction of this massive Hindu temple did signify a shift of the Mataram court's patronage, from Mahayana Buddhism to Shaivite Hinduism. Pick up and drop off transportation by private vehicles from your hotels ( Prambanan tickets 370.000 IDR / person )

5.00We had a great day visiting the sites of Borobodur and Prambanan with Mr Dani. He took great care of us, showing us some good photo spots and giving us as much time to explore the grounds as we wanted. Mr Dani speaks English really well, so if you want to learn some more about Indonesia, it’s easy to have a chat with him. Would highly recommend!

5.00We had a wonderful day trip to the Prambanan and Borobudur temples with our driver Dhani. He was very polite and friendly, and handled the chaotic traffic with great skill, so we always felt safe. His English was good enough for some pleasant conversation along the way. At the temples, he brought us directly to the local guides. We never have to wait. He was also very flexible with timing, arranging a stop for lunch at a lovely warung where we enjoyed a delicious meal and even had the chance to try civet coffee, kopi luwak. On our request, he also stopped at a money exchange and a shop, which was very helpful. At the end of the day, he brought us safely back to our hotel. Overall, we highly appreciated his professionalism and excellent service, and we would gladly recommend him to anyone visiting the area.
Very happy with the service, Service and price. Highly recommended!
