Great way to see and explore the temples round Jogja! Driver Andi was fantastic and got a great spot at the top of the hill to watch Borobudur emerge from the mist at sunrise. Car was a good 4x4 suitable for some of the bumpier roads. Clear and easy communication on the day and beforehand. Special thanks for Seek Sophie and Mega for double checking all post-Covid tour changes/accessibility of the temples and for coordinating with Ayla Tours. Would definitely recommend and use Seek Sophie again for future trips!

Hire car with driver that includes car’s petrol, parking and drivers meal I hired an Innova Reborn car package with driver, parking, drivers meal and petrol included. The price is competitive. More importantly, our driver, Andi is super friendly, helpful, and know ways around Yogyakarta inside out... We are very happy with our experience there and greatly appreciate his effort for making things go so well for us... note: we visited Borobudur at sunrise (must do), Prambanan temple (must do), Mendut Temple, Ullen Sentalu, Merapi Jeep tour, Klaten city, Sultan palace, water castle, Timang beach and Heaps of restaurants... we stayed at Hyatt Regency for three nights in dec 2019.

I spent four days touring Jogja with Andi from Ayla Tour, and was very impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and kindness! As a solo traveler, it is always a little scary when going somewhere new, but I was overwhelmed with the effort that Andi put in to making my trip one that I will never forget. We went to Borobudur Temple, Merapi, Sultan's Palace, and more. I feel like I really learned alot about the culture while doing all of the things that I had read about.
