5.00We opted to do this tour instead of the one offered by our cruise line so that we could drive directly there and leave when we wanted to. We left an hour later the cruise ship group and were back 1.5 hours before them. Worth every penny. Our driver, Thoriq, was great. He was on time, escorted us through ticketing up until we joined the Boroburdur tour and then was waiting for us when we were done. Afterwards he accommodated our request to stop for cold water. Highly recommed this trip and Thoriq!
Fantastic Borobudur is not to be missed!

5.00Borobudur is a UNESCO world heritage site that must be seen. The largest Buddhist temple in the world is simply stunning. We travelled to the site with EKO - a superb driver guide with excellent English, good humour and good conversation. It is more than 2 hours drive to the temple from Semarang port - you will spend a large part of your day in the car so don’t underestimate the value of a driver guide who is both knowledgeable and good company! It is a hot climb to the top of the temple but you are rewarded by great story telling from the official guides on site and wonderful views when you reach Nirvana at the top. This has been the standout highlight of our visit to Indonesia - highly recommended.

5.00We had an awesome trip to Borobudur Temple. We arrived before the Holland America buses and were able to visit the temple with a guide of 5 which was amazing.
