Borobudur, Merapi and Prabanan Tour
Alltogether a good tour if you want a day fully planned out. Especially as a solo tourist it felt like the optimal use of my time in Yogyakarta. The driver and the guides provide you with rich history and background knowledge. Furthermore they are always happy to help with other insider knowledge for food and must see locations.

A must in Yogyakarta!
Highly recommended! One of the best things in Yogyakarta. Borobudur and Prambanan are essential. We did not see the lava on the Mount Merapi sunrise tour, but it was still worth it. Incredible. Our guide spoke English very well, he was attentive and kind. Thank you very much for everything!

The wonders of Yogyakarta
We took a wonderful tour accompanied by Ridwan for an entire day to be able to admire the Merapi volcano at sunrise and visit two large temples near Yogyakarta, the Borobudur and Prambanan temples. The organization was excellent, Ridwan came to pick us up at the hotel right on time and accompanied us first to the Jeep excursion to see the sunrise over the volcano, then to see the two temples with two stops, one to taste Kopi Luwak coffee, the other to have lunch before the visit to the second temple. Ridwan was very sweet to us, he gave us numerous pieces of information and suggestions for our vacation in Indonesia without being intrusive. I recommend this tour for those who want to have a concentrated experience of the main attractions of Yogyakarta.
Response from the operator: Grazie di cuore per aver condiviso una recensione così dettagliata e meravigliosa! Tutto il team di Journeast Indonesia è felicissimo di sapere che la vostra giornata alla scoperta del vulcano Merapi, di Borobudur e di Prambanan sia stata così speciale. Siamo davvero orgogliosi di sapere che l'organizzazione sia stata impeccabile e che Ridwan vi abbia accompagnato con tanta puntualità, garbo e professionalità. È fantastico che vi siano piaciute sia l'avventura in Jeep all'alba sia le tappe dedicate al caffè Kopi Luwak e al pranzo. Ridwan sarà entusiasta di ricevere i vostri complimenti per i suoi consigli e la sua premura! Grazie ancora per aver scelto Journeast Indonesia e per la vostra raccomandazione. Speriamo di potervi accogliere di nuovo in futuro per altre indimenticabili esperienze in Indonesia! Un cordiale saluto, Il team di Journeast Indonesia

We booked the tour with hotel pickup in Yogyakarta, including the climb to Borobudur, the entrance to Prambanan, and Merapi Lava Tour. Our driver, Jarot, was amazing. He was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and shared so much with us about Javanese culture. It was an unforgettable experience that we will always cherish. Thank you, Jarot, for your professionalism and kindness. You made our day truly special! We 100% recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you enjoyed every part of your Yogyakarta tour and that Jarot took such great care of you with his kindness and cultural knowledge. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we hope to host you again on your next trip! Best wishes, Journeast Indonesia

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Borobudur Climb up, Merapi, Prambanan All Inclusive Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yogyakarta.
How much does Borobudur Climb up, Merapi, Prambanan All Inclusive Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yogyakarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Borobudur Climb up, Merapi, Prambanan All Inclusive Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Yogyakarta is not rushed.
Is Borobudur Climb up, Merapi, Prambanan All Inclusive Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Yogyakarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Borobudur Climb up, Merapi, Prambanan All Inclusive Private Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Borobudur Climb up, Merapi, Prambanan All Inclusive Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Borobudur Climb up, Merapi, Prambanan All Inclusive Private Tour?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Yogyakarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Yogyakarta and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Borobudur Climb up, Merapi, Prambanan All Inclusive Private Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Yogyakarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Yogyakarta?
+
On Outty we rank every Yogyakarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Borobudur Full Climb Up And Prambanan ALL INCLUSIVE PRIVATE Tour, 1-Day Private Yogyakarta Car Charter with Experienced Driver, Yogyakarta Private Car Hire with Driver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Yogyakarta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Yogyakarta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
