Excellent guide, weather is unpredictable

5.00My guide Atok was outstanding! He made the day go smoothly even though the weather did not. He made sure I had ample time for naps in between sites given our 3am departure. There were clouds at Borobudur so not much sunrise visible, but still a great option to get moody atmospheric photos in the twilight and to climb when it is not yet hot. Great breakfast and leisurely time. Mt Merapi was also hidden by clouds but we saw the local sites. Kind of a weird place - a solemn museum and then an amusement park and people taking cheeky photos at a place where people died in the eruption. At Prambanan, Atok guided me around the main temple and took several great photos and videos. The sun was finally out and the rocks are so hot it feels like a furnace. He let me explore on my own after that and the eventual rain was a relief. Don’t miss Sewu at the far end of the complex - it is very cool. Word of caution - if you don’t catch the shuttle at the start they won’t let you ride it on the way back. Just be prepared because the walk back definitely feels longer. Got back to the hotel around 3pm. Very long day but well worth it!
Everything as scheduled

5.00Positive experience, our guide Haidar was very good and courteous. After dawn we were ahead of schedule and he accompanied us to see the chicken church, which was not scheduled. Long and tiring day, but it deserves 😄
Full day of adventure

5.00A long day, especially with 2 kids (11 and 6) but so worth it. The sunrise experience was great even though we couldn't see much with the clouds, just being there, seing the sun rise and hearing the jungle around waking up was great. Borobudur temple is a MUST see if you are in the area. The Merapi jeep experience is very fun. Again we did not see the volcano because of the clouds but the ride itself is the experience really.
Fun!

5.00It was a very varied and fun experience! I had already done most of these activities before, but I felt like this time I learned a lot more about the history and legends than before. The itinerary also gave space to breathe, with the jeep tour between the two temples. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable and it really felt like it was my uncle driving us around, trying to get us the best experience!
Really great tour,...
