we had a very nice guide: Bryan. He is also a good driver. Unfortunately we could not see the Borobudur on the hill because of clouds. But visiting the Borobudur was great. Bryan took care of everything!

Haidar is a professional guide, who goes the extra mile to explain history and make his group feel comfortable by preparing his group with timely information. His passion in his job and introducing Indonesia to the world is evident in his actions. We are very lucky to have him as our guide. This Borobudur visit is well organised, accompanied with amazing history and views.

The sunrise was only 1h15 after the pick up time but our driver, Haidar, did his best to bring us to our destination on time, yet safely. Unfortunately there were clouds so we didn’t see much but that’s in no one’s control. The tour of Borobudur was at 8.30am so we had 2h to kill between sunrise and Borobudur but Haidar brought us to other nice temples in the meantime and told us about the history of Indonesia, Java, religions in the area, etc. which was very informative. All in all a very nice tour
