Precisely on time, our driver, Dedhy, arrived in front of the hotel. Of we went to see the Borobudur sunset. Because of the rain, he stopped to buy us a poncho. Also he arranged the guides that were promised, but not delivered. Also he was very helpful in arranging train tickets for our next stop. Dedhy thanks for this memorable day!

I had a wonderful day. Indrah is an amazing tour guide, he’s so smart and knows so much about the history and nature of Jogja. I learned so much about Yogyakarta and Java. We stopped at one point to smell eucalyptus. The guides at Borobudur and Prambanan were wonderful too. I learned so much about the history and architecture of the area. Definitely book this tour if you’re in the Jogja area
