Our trip to Borobodur was amazing. Ipung was our guide and she is a tourist guide with a heart and a sole. She tild us a lot of historical facts on Borobodur and Prambanan and also about Indonesia in general. She adopted immediately, when we wanted to do the Prambanan tour as well. And when started raining, she had alternative suggestions what to do. This trip was really something special and we definitely suggest taking one.

I really liked Brian as my driver to Borobudur! He was good company and talked to me about the tempel before and after I went and had a lot of knowledge about it! He took some pictures before the guide from the temple came which was nice because I went alone. We stopped shortly at the Candi Mendut aswell which was a good extra stop to learn some more! I would recommend it to everyone!😊

I’ve been picked up by Youss at my hotel, he was super nice and friendly, he made sure I didn’t need anything, explained me how it was going to go with the tour and made sure once again everything was right, then the tour was super nice with the guide, small group, super interesting and the views were beautiful, then youss picked me up, and dropped me off onto my next destination.
