Watch Borobudur sunrise from Setumbu Hill, climb the temple, ride a Merapi Jeep, and visit Prambanan on a private Yogyakarta day tour.

“Tour driver Thomas picked at the hotel at 4:00 am to Punthuck Setumbu is a point where you have a view of volcan Merapi and Mount Gunung you takes pictures during sunrise. Afterwards we went to Borobudur temple, Thomas helped me with the ticket and checking in and made sure I went with the group tour guide of the temple. Borobudur is recognized the greatest Buddhist temple in the world built with mindful spiritual meaning.. Thomas drove me to Prambanam Hindu temple also recognized by the Unesco heritage site where you can lean about Hindu religion. My tour guide was great in driving and organized the tour efficiently.”

“This was such a great way to experience Yogyakarta and try delicious and authentic Javanese foods from places we definitely wouldn’t have found on our own!

You get to ride in a Becak motor which was really fun, and Kalika also bartered with our Becak driver for us so we could get a good price on a ride back to our hotel! We also got so much food!
