Full description
Be picked up from your accommodation in Yogyakarta and choose to start with a visit to Prambanan Temple first or Borobudur Temple. As you have your own private driver and vehicle for the pick up, you are allowed to choose which one to be visited first according to your need. Visit the world's largest Buddhist legacy of Borobudur Temple. Encounter 504 life-sized Buddha statues, each carved from a single stone. Discover seated Buddha statues beneath each bell-shaped spire. Admire its grandeur, beauty and uniqueness. Complete your journey by visiting the nearby Mendut and Pawon Temples (optional). These are positioned along a straight line with Borobudur for an unknown ritual process. Explore the wonder of the ancient world today! Set out for Prambanan Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Built between the 8th and 10th centuries, this mighty temple complex celebrates both Hindu and Buddhist beliefs, and the scale is so impressive. It was dedicated to the Trimurti, the expression of God as the Creator (Brahma), the Preserver (Vishnu), and the Destroyer (Shiva). The largest Hindu temple site in Indonesia and one of the largest ones in Southeast Asia. Once you have finished your trip, sit back and relax while your private driver will escort you back to your accommodation in Yogyakarta.

Everything within reasonable control was excellent! Our driver is an excellent guide, we learned so much from him. There are IDIOTS in the reviews that give a poor rating for things outside of the guide's control e.g. the weather, or the sunrise, or the sunset! You have to be especially stupid to hold the driver responsible for such things. Fortunately, we had both great transportation and a great experience at our various destinations. The hawker labyrinth at some attractions can be annoying but you can't begrudge them a livelihood. Thank you to everyone involved!

Everything went well. The tour guide, Brhee, was excellent; he is very smart and he knows a lot of history and the temples. He explained everything in a very clear manner, and I learned so much about history and architecture of the area. The driver, Anang, arrived precisely on time in front of my hotel. He drove very carefully and professionally. Both Brhee and Anang were great, and I felt very comfortable with both of them.

My tour to Borobudur and Prambanan was great! The driver - Tomo, picked me up from my hotel and drove me to the temples, where local guides gave me private tours. Tomo was friendly, warm, and spoke decent English, and he took me to the best spots to have lunch and try local coffees. It was great to spend time with someone local and learn about their culture and customs. I would highly recommend Tomo.
