The tour was totally worth it. Especially in November when there was not a lot of people and pleasant weather. The trip was very well organised and special thanks to our driver (and just a great human being) Rama! He was very professional and have a lot of knowledge about local culture. He was very helpful and with him we felt no stress. Thank you Rama
Super recommended experience

We visited Prambanan Temple with dinner overlooking Ramayana Ballet, and the experience was ten. Our driver, Hanif, was punctual and very friendly; commenting that we had been struck by the snake fruit, he even stopped for a moment and bought us some so that we could try them. He also explained a lot of interesting things about Indonesia during the journey. At the temple we were accompanied by Ricco, our guide, who was very professional and fun, which made the visit even more special. Seeing the temple at sunset is beautiful, the buffet dinner was delicious and the Ramayana ballet is a real wonder not to be missed. Super recommended to do this tour with Hanif and Ricco: they make an already good experience unbeatable.
Great way to take a peek into an ancient past and story

Our guides, eko and ricco, were both amazing. Eko picked us up on time and pointed out places of interest on the way and gave us a brief history of the city of Yogyakarta. Ricco was very thorough in walking us around the Prambanan temple and the story of Ramayana which really helped us appreciate the ballet show that followed a big buffet dinner. The ballet performers were superb in their movements and the spectacle was absolutely enjoyable. Eko dropped us back at the hotel. We were a little exhausted after the long day but we were very pleased with the experience.

Seeing the Prambanan and the Ramayana was wonderful. Our driver was very attentive and our local guide was very knowledgeable about the temple itself. They both spoke good English and were easy to understand. Watching the ballet was very cool to see, especially after seeing the story in the relief in one of the temples. We ended up really only seeing one of the temples up close, but I really enjoyed the tour

The tour operator keeps the agreements with clear communication. The driver, Hendra was very correct, fine driver and has taken all worries with tickets etc. off our hands. At Prambanan we had a very good guide and the buffet dinner was a delicious rice table in a fairytale setting. To top it off, the ballet! We had very nice places and with the explanation of the scenes on big screens etbij it was double enjoyment. Definitely recommended!
Disappointing tour

Not what is described .. I was the only person on the tour and was left to find my own way in there to the Ballet and the dinner.. I had to abandon the tour as I felt too uncomfortable.. if there had been others with me it would have been easier
Interesting cultural day!

A fun tour with the 2 temples and the ballet. Our driver Faiq knew super good English and told us all day about the culture and the country itself. It was a very interesting day! The only thing that could be better is getting more time on the Prabanan. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Totally worth it!
