We were in doubt about which tour to choose from the many different options. After browsing and reviewing several of them, we decided to book it with Rian from Songdjie tours and it completely lived up to every expectation. Rian put in a 110% to make this day an unforgettable experience. Throughout the day he showed us amazing views, made some extra stops to show us everything the area had to offer. During the drive he informed us about pretty much everything encountered and was able to answers any and all questions. His English was excellent and he seemed to genuinely enjoy showing us around. Thanks again Rian!
Ryan was really, really...

It was a great experience…! Worth my solo trip time. I was picked and dropped by Bibis Susanto. He was being very humble and had a lot of patience. Didn’t let me hurry much. Gave me enough time to explore around. Always welcomes n speaks with smile on face. For the people who loves spirituality please visit the place. Or all possible places in Yogyakarta 😊
Excellent tour of Borobudur and Prambanan temples

Our guide was excellent. He was a safe driver and provided historical information about each site to us. He answered all of our questions and gave us unique insight into Indonesian culture.
Disappointed!

Please note that I did not do the tour but I was very disappointed with the experience leading to the tour which led me to cancel it and book with someone else. Firstly, I had to chase him to get a reply from him almost 2 months after contacting him by email. The tour was via another company called Kresna. Then he was charging me IDR 100k more than Kresna (as I enquired with Kresna via my hostel). He was also charging me "tourist tax" which when I asked the company I booked with said there is no "tourist tax". Then he was rounding up the total amount instead of telling me the exact amount because it was easier to "calculate".
Superb Trip!

A superb tour from start to finish. Rian picked us up on time and delivered as planned, safely to each destination. The sunrise volcano experience and open top jeep ride exceeded our expectations. Borobudur was brilliant as was Prambanan. These, coupled with Rian’s knowledge, additional stops which only enhanced the trip made it all a well worth experience for all the family. A truly magnificent day.
Beautiful, friendly driver

Beautiful sunrise and temples! The driver picked us up early in the morning to drive to the sunrise spot. This spot changed due to planning because the guide helped us to gather tickets to climb Borobodur, which was really helpful, since it was sold out. Recommended!
