Review Body: We booked the „ Borobudur Climb to Top & Prambanan | Private Trip + Entrance Tickets“ with Ayla Tour and it was just perfect! Our driver Adit contacted us beforehand, picked us up in the middle from put hotel, prepared drinks and made sure we could sleep a little during the drive! He was exceptionally friendly, his english skills were really good and we felt really safe in the car with him! He even sang in the car, it was so much fun to be with him! At the borobudur temple he went to the entrance with us, made sure we got our tickets, waited till the Tour started and was sitting outside waiting for us when we came back. During the drive to prambanan temple he asked if we wanted lunch or drinks and even offered to stop to show us a coffee plantage! At the pranbanam tenple he walked us inside, introduced us to our guide and waited for us again outside before driving to the hotel! He really made sure everything went as planned! The tours itself were also amazing, we were everywhere perfect in time. It was really well organized and the tours itself are also very nice! Musst see when in yogyakarta and highly recommend to book with ayla travel! Thank you Adith and Ayla Travel for this amazing experience! I hope many more people can enjoy the fun and lively character that adit has to offer!

Review Body: We had the best trip to the temples with our guide. He was very helpful and friendly, and always had water ready. He also suggested a really great place for lunch, and we got to taste the famous Luwak coffee. He handled all the practical details—like tickets and the special footwear we had to wear—and walked us right up to the entrances we needed to use; this was a great help, as the temple complexes are huge and very confusing to navigate. Once inside the temples, we had local guides who were incredibly knowledgeable about the sites. When we finished, our guide was ready to pick us up again. It was a truly beautiful experience, and the temples are a must-see if you are visiting Yogyakarta. It was also a real luxury having a private driver waiting for us whenever we needed to go somewhere and driving us to the next stop—we didn't have to lift a finger. Highly recommended!

Review Body: 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!

Review Body: We really enjoyed the trip of Ayla Tour to Borobudur and Prambanan with our driver Adit. The temples were very beautiful and the trip was perfectly organised by the company. Adit was very helpful and kind during our trip and he explained a lot to us. Last but not least, we also enjoyed Adit’s music playlist while driving. I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone.

Review Body: Our driver stewarded us through a wonderful day of seeing the most impressive temples around Jojga. He handed us off to our guides at both Borobudur and Prambanan, ensuring seamless transitions in somewhat chaotic settings. He also provided local tidbits throughout the day and was kind and communicative.

Review Body: We had a great experience with Sigit, who always took us to the gates of all attractions. He also took us to a super good restaurant for lunch. He was flexible to accomodate our own pace. Could be improved: - We had a downtime of 2 hours between the sunrise & entrance to Borobudur. The tour operator could have suggested to walk close to Borobudur / take pictures close there / rest at a bench closer (which we did not know was possible), to visit another temple in between - Overall quite pricey - yes the tickets alone are 40/person but the transportation costs also increase proportionally to the nb of ppl (which is not fair so I’m not sure you « get a better value deal » as claimed) - More knowledge sharing about Yogja history

Review Body: 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!

Review Body: Une belle journée avec la découverte des temples ; un coût élevé pour une prestation qui ne propose rien de plus. C’est dommage, pour le justifier quelques exemples ; bouteille d’eau non fraîche dans la voiture ; repas du midi non compris et qui plus est en restauration touristique.. Notre jugement se base sur d’autres prestations prises.

Review Body: We had a truly wonderful experience with our driver, Bibis, during our trip to Mount Merapi in Indonesia. He picked us up right on time early in the morning and took us to the base point where we began our jeep adventure around the volcano. Everything was smooth and well-organized. After the volcano tour, Bibis recommended and drove us to a beautiful restaurant where we enjoyed authentic Indonesian cuisine while sitting beside a peaceful paddy field — it was the perfect setting to unwind after a long day. Later in the evening, when we mentioned our interest in buying some furniture, Bibis went the extra mile to locate a great antiques place and took us there as well. His knowledge of the area and willingness to help made a big difference. What really stood out was how easy it was to communicate with him — his English was flawless. Bibis was kind, thoughtful, and incredibly considerate, especially since I was traveling with my family and 11-year-old son. He accommodated all our needs in the friendliest and most respectful way. We felt safe, cared for, and in excellent hands throughout the day. Highly recommended — thank you, Bibis & Team

Review Body: We done the Mount Merapi tour. The driver collected us at 9:00am at our hotel as pre arranged. The driver on the way rang the Jeep depot and arrange to have one of the drivers with the best English speaking. When we got their, they took photos of us sitting on the jeep before we set on our 1 and half hour journey. We were the only jeep in our tour, so not like other tours that seems to have a convoy of jeeps. The jeep driver explain all about Mount Merapi various eruptions to us. The jeep drive was fun. At the various stops the driver took photos of us on our phones but also on his, he was like a photography pro. That evening I got a Whats App messages from Agung Nobel with X2 short video clips with memories of our jeep adventure. Thank you so much.

Review Body: Very responsive tour operator! I have some questions before the trip and I always receive a response from them within 5-10 mins. We made some last min changes 1 day before our trip, requesting a late pick up and they accommodated our request. Our tour guide Mr Bagus Agung was fantastic! He shared information about the city and he readily agreed to have my son sit beside him in the car ride. I heard from my son that he passed his phone to my son allowing him to pick the music! Mr. Bagus is very friendly and highly professional, and he gave excellent food recommendations. Thank you for taking care of us! 🙏🏻 We highly recommend booking with Ayla Tour! Thank you once again From Minying, Jen and Nate

Review Body: 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.

Review Body: Here’s a polished version of your review: “Our guide, AG, was absolutely fantastic! His excellent English made communication so easy and comfortable throughout our trip. He was fun, helpful, and took great care of us during the two days we spent together. AG was always punctual, patient, and went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests. When we wanted to find batik, he made sure to drive us around and brought us to several different batik places. His dedication and friendliness truly made our experience in Jogja memorable. I highly recommend AG to anyone visiting the area!”
