★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 80 reviews · 10 hours · from $22Best value

Review of Yogyakarta’s Borobudur sunrise and Prambanan tour, with temple guides, breakfast, transport, pricing advice, and practical tips.

“Our driver, Adit, arrived punctually at our pick-up point despite the early timing. He spoke very good English so there were no communication issues at all. He was very accommodating, knowledge, helpful, patient and honest. His driving was safe and reliable. He made the entire experience very comfortable, fun and worthwhile. It was a private car ride for me and my partner so this was money well spent. Our guide, Budi at Borobudur was full of energy and passion in sharing his knowledge about the site. The next guide, Ricco at Prambanan was knowledgeable, witty and extremely professional, and spoke good English. We were fortunate to be the only ones…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 56 reviews · from $87

Review of Yogyakarta’s sunrise Borobudur, Merapi Jeep ride, Pawon and Mendut temples, costs, timing, guides, and practical tips.

“Guide Ardi was great but I think the third party payment via viator is really expensive. Would go direct to a local guide now that I've contacts. Borobodur was grand but it happened to rain the morning we were there and thus there was no sunrise to speak of, great pity. Merapi jeep tour was fun!”

8.Mount Agung Sunrise Trekking Tour via Besakih Temple

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 5 reviews · 12 - 16 hours · from $60

Review of Bali’s Mount Agung sunrise trek via Besakih, with honest advice on fitness, gear, timing, safety, views, and value.

“The sunrise was spectacular but we found this activity to be quite poorly planned overall. We were picked up from hour hotel at 9:30 pm and driven to the start of the hike, where we met our guide, who spoke no English. We were given a very basic breakfast for the following morning. Despite having asked in advance for vegan food, the only vegan elements were 2 bananas. We were told we should bring our own food. The hike up was smooth until we stopped at around 2600m and waited for two hours in the cold, to avoid reaching the summit way before sunrise. We found this nonsensical as there…”
