Probably one of the best trip I have done on GetyourGuide. This trip allow you to see beautiful javanese landscapes and to discover the local dailylife. The hikking is not too much difficult, the Selogriyo temple is small but really interessing to discover. The garden and the view around the temple are just Awesome. So if you want to experiment an authentic trip, I really recommend you to book it.

Had an amazing time with our driver Dedhy! He made sure we had anything we needed at all times - Even took us to some extra places! Local guides at Borobudur and Prambanan were great too and the views were amazing! One in a lifetime tour, especially in low season with fewer tourists!

Great way to see both UNESCO sites in one day. My guide Taufan was wonderful, extremely polite and happy to answer any question and adjust the trip to my requirements. Fully recommend.

Unfortunately, you can only circumnavigate the Borobudur. Bagus was a very good driver: friendly, helpful and communicative. Thanks.

very knowledgeable tour guide! I also learned about local politics in the process
