Great experience! We were able to experience some of the key highlights around Yogyakarta in one day. Very good transportation and logistics to allow us to make the most of the day. Thanks to AG our guide for making this happen.

I could not have been happier with this tour. It started early (4:00 AM) and AG got me back to my hotel in time for dinner. Every stop was well planned and executed with no disruptions. What contributed to the enjoyment of this tour was AG's commentary in fluent English. His years spent in the US made conversing easy and fun. I can recommend AG and this tour to one and all. You will have a wonderful day filled with unforgettable experiences.

We deden de Tempeltour in Yogyakarta bij zonsopgang. De dag was goed georganiseerd en nergens zat een verborgen prijs. De driver sprak goed Engels en gaf ons een goed gevoel. Hij gaf ons met veel plezier uitleg over zijn land: Indonesië. Hij zorgde ook steeds voor de nodige drankjes (water). Wat was het een fijne dag zonder stress, want alles was tot in de puntjes verzorgd. BEDANKT!

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!
