We had a pleasure of joining a day tour with these two amazing tour guides April and Bryan, and it was an experience beyond compare. From start to finish, they demonstrated unparalleled knowledge, professionalism, and enthusiasm (but not towards the end cos we were already exhausted :-D). The early morning trip to Setumbu Hill was a tiny bit disappointed because there was no sunrise due to the fog but we had a blast hiking through the hill and the experience at the top was magical. April’s insightful commentary and knowledge made our walk to top more energetic especially at 5 AM. Next we went to Borobudur temple, the historical background shared by April made the ancient temple come alive, and we were able to appreciate its beauty in a whole new light. Her attention to detail and passion for the local culture made the visit truly enriching . We then ventured to Merapi Volcano guided by one of the local there and his explanations of the volcano’s history and its impact on the region were both captivating and informative. We also had a chance to roam around the area using the Jeep and it was a great experience. Plus, the water activity was hella fun! Before we went to our last stop which is Prambanan, we had a delighful local lunch close to it. At Prambanan, April’s stroytelling skills shone once again. Her explanation of the intricate carvings and the legends behind the temples were enthralling. The entire complex was a mesmerizing sight, and we were grateful to have such knowledgeable guides to enhance our understanding. What stood out throughout the day was not only April and Bryan’s professionalism but also their genuine warmth and friendliness, and April’s photography skills (that’s a plus which is super amazing and she knows how to shoot a video using just a phone). They were approachable, accommodating, and made us feel like old friends exploring the wonders of Yogyakarta together. If you’re looking for an unforgettable day tour to Borobudur, Merapi Volcano and Prambanan, I wholeheartedly recommend April and Bryan as your guides Their passion for their work, coupled with their deep knowledge of the region, made this journey an exceptional and memorable one. Thank you, April and Bryan, for an outstanding and enriching experience!nishanthinig2023

A wonderful experience! I only spent 2 days in Jogja, so this tour let me see many amazing sights in a short time. It was just the right amount of activity for the day. My guide, Joko was friendly and helpful. If you like rock music, he has a fantastic playlist for you in his car! My guides at Merapi, Borobudur, and Prambanan were also great. They grew up in their respective locations, and this meant that they have lots of wisdom on the area. I learnt a lot from them!Ekadayantri I

Perfect tour that cover the main attractions of Yogyakarta. This tour allow us to visit more places in one day as we were in Yogyakarta for limited number of days.With the transfers provided, there is no need to worry about the arrangements of transportation to go to each attractions.They contacted us a day before the tour to confirm the details about the tour. A shoutout to our driver,Bayo,who was engaging, very accommodating and knowledgeable.He brought and recommended to us places to eat for our breakfast and lunch.He had also share the history and the significance of the temples.Offered to help us take photos which turn out very nice.The tour also included guides that was informative. We took back home some knowledge about the history of these places after this tour. The guides and people involved on this tour made sure that we had a memorable and wonderful time.The jeep ride was fun we chose a water route that involved getting wet.The prambanan and borobudur temple is very majestic to see in real life. The only downside that is that we could not see the sunrise at punthuk setumbu as it was raining in the morning that day and the sun was covered by clouds. Apart from that, the setumbu hill has many nice spot to take photos with.The people there will gladly help you capture a picture of you with a nice view in the background.evak172014

The pickup and communication before the trip was easy and helpful, our driver Nanda was also amazing and we did a few stops to other temples that were not planned. I highly can recommend this tour!15frans
