Highly recommend this whole day experience! Everything was great. From the guided tour of Borobudur to a wonderful lunch and free time in Prambaran wandering the temple compound. It’s a bit of driving but totally worth it!

Mostly good. The weather wasn’t great so a couple of activities weren’t so good but that’s obviously no one’s fault. We were taken to the jeep tour though (which we hadn’t asked for) and weren’t taken to the batik course (which we had asked for) and then were presented with an invoice for the jeep tour.. granted, we should’ve asked if it was free but still, it wasn’t great, especially since we weren’t able to see anything on that tour due to bad weather. It hadn’t been so disappointing, if we hadn’t explicitly asked for batik which we didn’t end up doing. However, the temples were nice and the ballet was great!
