We had a great guide, he gave us many explanation about the temples, and the religions. He has good knowledge about the religions (both Hinduism and Buddhism) and volcanoes. He offered us some snake skin fruit to try, it was yummy!

Ben was great, as I had a hotel outside, I was alone on that trip. he would show me a monestery, most impressive for me as well as a beautiful river way up at the vulcano away from the crowds. fantastic experience.

Full description

After being picked up from your hotel and head to Setumbu Hill to witness the breathtaking Borobudur sunrise. When the air is fresh and as the mist begins to lift, the sun will surround the volcanoes and terraced fields.

After sunrise, you have the option to explore the UNESCO-listed Borobudur Temple, the single largest Buddhist structure on earth. Be the first of the day to enter the gates as they open. This is one of the world's greatest ancient monuments.

Continue your tour on board a jeep to the Merapi volcano, one of the most popular volcanoes in the country. Snap your own momentous memories over the picturesque spots of the volcano.

Finish the tour with a visit to one of the most beautiful Hindu temples, Prambanan. Built-in the tenth century, this is the largest temple compound dedicated to Shiva in Indonesia. See the three temples decorated with reliefs illustrating the epic of the Ramayana, dedicated to the three great Hindu divinities (Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma) and the animals who serve them.

Once your tour is finished, sit back and relax while your driver escorts you back to your accommodation.

Ben was an amazing driver and guide, we booked a small group tour but it was just us and it was so nice to go at our own pace. We had plenty of time in each place and everything was planned to perfection. Ben explained lots of things to us about the temples. 5/5 stars :))) Thanks Ben!
