A highly recommended and enjoyable late afternoon and evening experience. - Fucjar was an excellent driver and guide. The entire experience was excellent - from pick-up to drop-off. Fucjar had prepared umbrellas and raincoats for us which was great because we ended up having significant rainfall while we were trying to visit the smaller temples. My husband and I were stuck under a sign, hoping for the rain to pass. Fucjar moved the car as close as he could to the pick-up area, then shared his location via WhatsApp so we knew how to get out. He even offered to give my husband his slides to wear because my husband's shoes were soaking wet! The rain let up during dinner, and we had a lovely meal at the buffet restaurant before the show. Our seats for the ballet were excellent. It was shorter than we expected but that may be because it was indoors. We really enjoyed our evening. We also appreciated having good conversation with Fucjar, as well as how well he took care of us - we felt spoiled. LOL. I highly recommend this activity for anyone who enjoys a good cultural experience.

Great experience - The company was very kind to offer an alternative itinerary as tickets to the ballet were not available. Our driver, Hanif was very accomodating, kind and great to converse with. Our tour guide for the Prambanan temple, Ricco made the experience more enjoyable than anticipated. Me and my friends had a very comfortable and great experience. Highly recommended!

Great tour, great driver - The tour was totally worth it. Especially in November when there was not a lot of people and pleasant weather. The trip was very well organised and special thanks to our driver (and just a great human being) Rama! He was very professional and have a lot of knowledge about local culture. He was very helpful and with him we felt no stress. Thank you Rama

Super recommended experience - We visited Prambanan Temple with dinner overlooking Ramayana Ballet, and the experience was ten. Our driver, Hanif, was punctual and very friendly; commenting that we had been struck by the snake fruit, he even stopped for a moment and bought us some so that we could try them. He also explained a lot of interesting things about Indonesia during the journey. At the temple we were accompanied by Ricco, our guide, who was very professional and fun, which made the visit even more special. Seeing the temple at sunset is beautiful, the buffet dinner was delicious and the Ramayana ballet is a real wonder not to be missed. Super recommended to do this tour with Hanif and Ricco: they make an already good experience unbeatable.

Great way to take a peek into an ancient past and story - Our guides, eko and ricco, were both amazing. Eko picked us up on time and pointed out places of interest on the way and gave us a brief history of the city of Yogyakarta. Ricco was very thorough in walking us around the Prambanan temple and the story of Ramayana which really helped us appreciate the ballet show that followed a big buffet dinner. The ballet performers were superb in their movements and the spectacle was absolutely enjoyable. Eko dropped us back at the hotel. We were a little exhausted after the long day but we were very pleased with the experience.

Helpful guides - Seeing the Prambanan and the Ramayana was wonderful. Our driver was very attentive and our local guide was very knowledgeable about the temple itself. They both spoke good English and were easy to understand. Watching the ballet was very cool to see, especially after seeing the story in the relief in one of the temples. We ended up really only seeing one of the temples up close, but I really enjoyed the tour

Top afternoon and evening in a very special environment - The tour operator keeps the agreements with clear communication. The driver, Hendra was very correct, fine driver and has taken all worries with tickets etc. off our hands. At Prambanan we had a very good guide and the buffet dinner was a delicious rice table in a fairytale setting. To top it off, the ballet! We had very nice places and with the explanation of the scenes on big screens etbij it was double enjoyment. Definitely recommended!

Very good - needs a few tweaks - Great experience overall - I was happy I booked it Highlights : Eko ( the driver ) couldn’t have been more helpful from start to finish and the Ballet was absolutely fantastic - the artistry and skill of the performers was wonderful Negatives : The guide was with me at Prambunan for literally 60 minutes only - it was very rapid - it would have been better if it had been 2 hours so we could have seen the three Buddhist temples there aswell and done it all at a slightly more relaxed pace Also dinner wasn’t great - lukewarm buffet of very average quality 🫣
