A must!
Must see temples. Borobudur is extraordinary, but Mendut and the monestary next to it are very beautiful.
via Viator
Excellent tour guide
Very nice trip. Excellent driver. Always on time and helpful. Thanks for a very nice day. Best recommendation from us
via Viator
RIP OFF
My driver was really nice. The price for what you are getting is a rip off. It is best to book a Grab and get your ticket at the door. The mark up is 75%.
via Viator
Make sure you know “Regular” ticket does not give full temple access
Driver was fine and temple is incredibly impressive but we had expected/hoped to be to go up the stairs to the temple and thought we had purchased a guided tour. Apparently our “Regular” ticket did not cover these, though we got to skip the lines, which was nice. You can still walk around the outside of the temple but a bit confusing of a ticket access process would be my feedback.
via Tripadvisor
Good alternative to sunrise tours
Good tour for those not wishing to get up for a sunrise tour like most are and also a half day rather than full day which suited my schedule better. Professional driver/guide who also gave a good local lunch recommendation at Borobudur.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Borobudur Temple Half Day Tour from Yogyakarta: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yogyakarta.
How much does Borobudur Temple Half Day Tour from Yogyakarta 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 Temple Half Day Tour from Yogyakarta take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 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 Temple Half Day Tour from Yogyakarta worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 10 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 Temple Half Day Tour from Yogyakarta?
+
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 Temple Half Day Tour from Yogyakarta suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Borobudur Temple Half Day Tour from Yogyakarta?
+
Around 4 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 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Borobudur Temple Half Day Tour from Yogyakarta 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 Yogyakarta Private Car Hire with Driver, From Surabaya / Malang : Mt Bromo Sunrise - Ijen Blue Fire 2D1N, Borobudur Full Climb Up And Prambanan ALL INCLUSIVE PRIVATE Tour. 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.
