Don’t just tick off Jogja’s highlights. Understand them.
This private day trip covers all the must-sees in Yogyakarta — Borobudur, Mount Merapi and Prambanan Temple — in one smooth, well-planned day. It’s perfect for travellers who want to actually understand what they’re seeing with a great guide, rather than just tick the boxes.Many tours simply give you a car and a driver with basic English. This one gives you a fluent, experienced guide who actually explains what you’re seeing. It’s the difference between just taking photos and truly understanding the place. This experience already includes the hefty entrance tickets for Borobudur, Prambanan and Setumbu, so the overall price works out better value than similar tours that charge these separately.You’ll start at Setumbu Hill for sunrise, one of the most iconic views of Borobudur rising from the mist with Mount Merapi behind it. After breakfast, you’ll climb to the top of Borobudur (limited daily access), then switch to an open-top jeep ride across Mount Merapi’s lava fields before ending the day at the soaring Hindu spires of Prambanan.It’s a long, full day but worth it!What to ExpectPrivate day tour of Yogyakarta's highlights with a fluent English speaking guide.
