What to expect

Your adventure begins as you're greeted by your English-speaking guide at Yogyakarta International Airport. Embark on a scenic drive to Prambanan temple complex, where you'll delve into its historical significance and explore its magnificent temples, including the awe-inspiring Lord Shiva Temple adorned with intricate bas-reliefs depicting celestial beings and mythical creatures. Gain insights into the life of ancient Javanese during the 9th century.

Next, journey to Mendut Temple, a serene Buddhist sanctuary nestled in Mendut Village. Witness the spiritual alignment of Mendut, Borobudur, and Pavon temples, symbolizing a profound spiritual connection.

Cap off your tour at Borobudur Temple, an architectural masterpiece surrounded by lush tropical landscapes. After lunch at a local eatery, ascend through its tiers adorned with captivating Buddhist narratives carved in stone. Marvel at the 72 bell-shaped stupas, each housing hidden Buddha statues believed to bring blessings upon touch.

Capture breathtaking photos of Borobudur against the backdrop of verdant mountains, concluding your enriching exploration before a convenient transfer back to your accommodation or onward journey.

Important information:

When booking tickets, please pay attention to the arrival airport: You need to arrive at Yogyakarta Airport (YIA) - Yogyakarta International Airport, not Jakarta.

Consider potential flight delays when planning your onward travel from Yogyakarta to Bali, and carry extra funds for unexpected overnight stays. We also offer a Borobudur tour with hotel inclusive of accommodations at Jambuluwuk Hotel for added convenience and comfort.

A very busy 2-day tour with many interesting places, an excellent guide – I learned a lot of new things about the places of visit, the island, and Indonesia in general – special thanks to Yusuf! In the morning, the weather hid the sunrise, but that didn't make the views or the route any worse. We also didn't go to the palace; instead, we visited another temple with a magical tree nearby - I think it's even better this way. In this tour, the cancellation policy is more lenient, which is pleasing, although it won't save you from a sudden flight cancellation by a local airline. And on the downside – no one likes solo travelers.'( This time I paid a bit less than for two people, but still nearly a double price because I travel alone.

Tour to Borobudur temple

Java tours

We had a one-day private tour of Borobudur. We liked everything very much. Our guide told us interesting facts, and in all the museums, there was free cold water for us (maybe it's like that for everyone, but it was a pleasant surprise for us). They also pointed out great places for successful snapshots in the crowded museums. We traveled between the temples by car with a local driver. The convenience of this format is that the guide tailored the tour exactly to the time of our arrival and departure. I highly recommend this tour, but it's better to plan a trip with an overnight stay in Java because, with our early departure, we couldn't see everything we would have liked.

We really enjoyed the tour, we can definitely recommend it. Yusuf is an excellent guide, many thanks to him! It turned out that on July 19 (the date of our tour) on Java they celebrate the Indonesian New Year, so it was impossible to get into the Sultan's Palace. Initially, we were upset, but Yusuf found a wonderful alternative - a Buddhist temple and monastery. We were very satisfied!)) For those planning to stay overnight in Yogyakarta, keep in mind that the new airport is quite far from the city (it was an hour and a half from our hotel), so it is better to choose a hotel closer to the city exit. Hotels near the airport are still under construction.
