This tour is a quick way to experience several spots in one ride, starting very early in the morning with the view of the sunrise from the top of the mountains, then visiting some temples and trying to see a volcano up close with a jeep, if you're lucky with the weather, we weren't. The parks surrounding the temples were great, the street vendors waiting for you as a prey, not much. If you're more interested in nature than temples, that's not the right tour for you, otherwise, it's worth it, especially if you bring a friend with you.

We went with JB Tours and our driver was Udik. Udik is a very nice and friendly guy, always willing to help. He never rushed us. The tour starts with the sunrise point (you’ll have to wake up early!). If you’re lucky (and we were) you’ll see the sun coming from behind the Merapi Volcanoe. Very nice. The next stop is Borobodur temple. It’s impressive, a wonder. You then head to the Merapi volcanoe, where you take a tour with a Jeep. Our driver there was Blondo, friendly and always laughinh. We stopped in a couple of places and we were supposed to go to the volcanoe base. But it was cloudy and we saw nothing :( That’s nature! We had lunch in a touristy restaurant and headed to Prambanan temple. Another speechless wonder. One advice: on Mondays, both Borobodur and Prambanan are partially closed because of maintenance. In Borobodur you’d miss the stuppas and the statues, the most impressive parts. In Prambanan, you won’t be able to get in the temples. So, don’t go on a Monday.

Such an amazing experience!! We got to see so much with the time we had, and our guide Firdaus could not have been better! He taught us some of the language, culture, and showed us some fruit that we don't have back home. 10/10, you have to try this one!!
