Great Journey to know the Yogyakarta's temples in short time..
Th driver Atok is a great gide, support and entertainment for the journey. He has 10/10, He was kind, efficient, professional and with a lot of information. He has excelent english, and this make the difference in communication and the experience. It is a great point The plan could be better if you get a time to lunch, between morning and afternoon. The activity is too heavy if we visit both temples, it was hard to visit prambanan temple at noon, but the guide there was excellent . By the other hand, The merapi lava tour is not a good place if there are not visibility. Our expectations in the volcano is view it, no to watch the museum they is so poor for international visitors .

Amazing
This was a great tour. Borobudur was amazing and, despite the clouds, we were lucky to see the sunrise from inside the temple. Not so lucky with Mt Merapi which was completely obscured by clouds, but still an enjoyable jeep ride. Very sad to see the destruction from the eruptions. Prambanan temple was equally spectacular as Borobudur. Atok, our driver and guide was awesome. His explanations were detailed, he spoke very good english and he presented various aspects related to day-to-day life, besides information related to the places we saw. His explanations at Prambanan were very detailed and entertaining. At the end, he also made a stop at Plaosan temple (it was under renovations, but we had a good look from outside). We highly recommend this tour and Atok, one of the best tour guides we ever had!

Wonderful temple tour
Great day out with my wonderful driver Brian. It was a super early pick up, 3am!, but he was right on time and I felt very safe with him. He organized everything at each of the sites, including English speaking guides. It’s a big day out, but highly recommend it. Starting early means you avoid the heat. Lots of options when you’re booking. Note: Sunrise inside the temple is worth it - and includes breakfast I discovered.

Excellence
Great service, very easy to book and to communicate with the company. The tour is very well organized, with enough time at each place to fully appreciate it and flexible. Our driver-guide Brian was excellent from the start, having contacted us the day before to confirm our pick and costumize it for us. Having everything included and Brian to collect all tickets for us is a bliss. Highly recommend.

Borobudur Sunrise, Mt. Merapi & Prambanan Day Tour with Entry Fee: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yogyakarta.
How much does Borobudur Sunrise, Mt. Merapi & Prambanan Day Tour with Entry Fee cost?
+
Prices start at $85 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 Sunrise, Mt. Merapi & Prambanan Day Tour with Entry Fee 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 Sunrise, Mt. Merapi & Prambanan Day Tour with Entry Fee worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 139 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 Sunrise, Mt. Merapi & Prambanan Day Tour with Entry Fee?
+
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 Sunrise, Mt. Merapi & Prambanan Day Tour with Entry Fee 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 Sunrise, Mt. Merapi & Prambanan Day Tour with Entry Fee?
+
Around 49 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 Sunrise, Mt. Merapi & Prambanan Day Tour with Entry Fee 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.
