Discova city cultural tour - worth doing
We spent a day with Tony and Jono from Discva tours. From the moment we got in the vehicle Tony talked about the history of the city, the places we were headed to and answered our many questions patiently. It was an intense history lesson but oh so interesting. We visited the sultans palace, summer palace, temples, puppet makers and of course Borobudur. Had a delicious lunch too. The bonus for us, was they were delightful company. Jono drove us everywhere skilfully and safely. I highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, really appreciate to have your best review here

Ardi a super tour guide and driver
Great tour at Borubudur and Prambanan temple. Ardi was really super since we discussed by w-app before our tour. He supported us buying outr tickets for Borubudur in advaced. Everything went perfect. He was a perfect driver and during the trip we enjoyed a lot discussing about Indonesian culture, food and so on. Amazing day tour at Borubudur, Prambanan, We also went to a coffe factory to taste the luwak coffe and we had a typical lunch in a warong. We really reccomend to contact him when you plan to visit Yogya.
Response from the operator: Really apreciate to share the best review to us!

Setumbu, Borobudur, Merapi to Semarang
We had a great day out with our guide Damar. He picked us up perfectly on time from our hotel at 3.30am and after visits to Setumbu, Borobudur, and Merapi dropped us off in the evening at Semarang. The whole experience was smooth, friendly and efficiently organised throughout. Recommended with thanks to Ardi and Damar.

Why this scores 62

Yogyakarta Cultural Tour: Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple and Merapi Volcano: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yogyakarta.
How much does Yogyakarta Cultural Tour: Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple and Merapi Volcano cost?
+
Prices start at $261 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 Yogyakarta Cultural Tour: Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple and Merapi Volcano 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 Yogyakarta Cultural Tour: Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple and Merapi Volcano worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 41 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 Yogyakarta Cultural Tour: Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple and Merapi Volcano?
+
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 Yogyakarta Cultural Tour: Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple and Merapi Volcano 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 Yogyakarta Cultural Tour: Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple and Merapi Volcano?
+
Around 14 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 Yogyakarta Cultural Tour: Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple and Merapi Volcano 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.
