1.00The driver did not turn up. We waited 1.5 hours in the heat and sun. Tried to phone and email and no response. Very disappointing as missed going to Borobodur. Appalling service
Good way to experience this former Dutch Colony

4.00Semarang City still has elements of Dutch architecture and heritage, yet is moving out of its colonial past and developing a tourist industry. There are narrow alleys with small shops, homes and food places that are picturesque and welcoming. The people are very friendly. While visiting a temple area we were greeted by a few dozen school children on a field trip. They were busy filming us on their phones and welcoming us in English. Some engaging in conversation. Their teacher/Head Master greeted me and explained that his students were very excited to see Westerners, especially Americans, and wanted to practice their English. They were so enthusiastic and we enjoyed short conversations which made them so appreciative. It did feel a bit strange for us to be the objects of filming/photography. This area deserves our support and respect. The cruise industry has the potential to have a very positive impact.
Great experience in Semarang

5.00Our guide was exceptional. Confusion because two similar ships docked on the same day meant he got up at 3am despite tjat we did not arrive until 11. He was kind and informative for the whole of the 3 hour drive to Borabodur and back. We heartily reccomend this trip to anybody.
Borobudur Temple - with climb up

5.00Hibza picked us up from our cruise terminal. He is very professional and courteous. Upon arriving the temple, he walked with us to the yard and guided us to retrieve the sandal (for climbing the temple). Our tour consist entry admission and ticket to climb the tempel. A local tour guide led us climbing up the temple. Afterwards Hibza met us at the bottom of the temple and took us to Candi Mendut (Temple), which is less crowded, but very serene and peaceful. On the way back to the ship, we enjoyed a box of delicious assorted local treats and bottled water. We enjoyed our tour, the car ride was easy and stress free. Highly recommend this tour operator!
