Prambanan and Ramayana ballet, a must-see in Yogyakarta
A very beautiful, well-organized experience; our guide and driver Eko was perfect, he speaks very good English and has a lot of knowledge about religions and Indonesia. Regarding the Prambanan temple, if you have the choice, avoid the weekend because there are a large number of visitors.
We were taken care of by an English-speaking guide in the temple.
Eko then drove us to a restaurant that adjoins the show site. We enjoyed an excellent buffet. Eko led us to our seats for the show: the VIP seats are perfect, with the illuminated Prambanan temple as the backdrop for the show. To finish, we really appreciated this lively show, impressive for the actors’ gestures, their masks, and their costumes.

Great guide, relaxing, beautiful!
We spent a wonderfull day with our guide Fajar. The day’s activities where well arranged, there was clear communication and ample time to make sure the day went smoothly.
Fajar is punctual, he is a good driver, communicator and an interesting conversation partner.
We spent two days with him and would recommend the borobodursunrise tour operator and specifically their guide Fajar.
Specifically on this tour: We were picked up at our hotel and driven by Fajar to the Prambanan temple where a private guide was waiting for us, after a guided tour, which included a summary of the story told in the Ramayana ballet. We were given free time to visit the other three temples and choose where to enjoy the sunset. The colors on the Sewu temple during golden hour were beautiful!
The most valuable thing about this tour is the relaxing, and stress-free arrangement.
Till next time, maybe, Fajar?

Amazing first day in Yogyakarta!
It was not just another ancient temple visit, it’s a UNESCO heritage site. We went in the afternoon, and by the end of walking the sprawling grounds and temple complex, we caught the beautiful sunset. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture. After a buffet dinner, we were brought to the theatre for the Ramaya ballet performance. English speaking driver, Eko who was very attentive made the tour and travel with ease from point to point!

Absolutely one of my favourites
This was really worth It. Driver Tomo is not only a very safe driver but he is friendly and entertaining. Great job. The guide Jono was one of the best I have ever had. Knows everything about these amazing temples. Dinner was good with a stunning view over the City. Ramayana ballet not to be missed. An afternoon and night of lovely new memories. Jogja is special. This tour highly recommended.
