“extraordinary experience in religion , culture and history .The Temples, the Buddhist Borobodour and the Hinduist Prambanan are very impressive and a absolutely must to have seen in your life. Depends where you start the tour , there is a lot driving between the accomodation and the temples. So the Ramayana Ballet Show starts at about 07:00 p.m. and is supposed to last until 10:00 p.m. We finished our tour at 17:00 and did not go to the ballet. We are alread over 60 and were tired after the visit of the temples. My recommendation : split the tour into tow parts , one with Borobodur and one with Prambanan…”
