Our guide was excellent, very informative, knowledgeable friendly with a great sense of humour. All our stops were well organised and interesting, lunch was very good and our group of 10 people really connected. Would highly recommend this tour

Our driver and guide made sure we arrived just as the second level of Borobudur opened. We were able to bypass the crowds, see so much more without tripping over other tourists. Our guide gave us wonderful and pertinent history and folklore; our driver was an expert in traversing the busy and congested roads. They took us to a great little restaurant for a late lunch. We covered so much more with East Journey Travels than did our fellow cruise passengers who paid more for this upcharged excursion. Highly recommend—dependable and communicative

Guide met us right when we exited the port. A great driver who adjusted our order of stops to avoid the heavy traffic. Our guide was informative and friendly. A wonderful way to see a lot in a short time.

We had a beautiful private excursion. A long trip to the temple, but absolutely worth it. Excellent driver and guide, safe driver and the guide was full of information about the island and its developments. Our guide made sure we good the “good” Guide at the temple complex (the guide from the temple goes with you to and on the temple). Lunch was excellent. We were on a cruise, timely transfer:)). Would Recommend.

We had a great day in Semarang with our tour guide Farro. He was entertaining, and took us to several amazing sites. Our lunch stop was delicious. Thank you!

Great, friendly, private guide - Hassan (and driver). The 2.5 hour drive from the port to the temple flew by as our guide kept the conversation interesting and informative. And the route off the main highway allowed us to see more of the country as well.

We have an eerie feeling of all those pictures ( needed to be) taken of us by our guide. Far to much! No privacy guaranteed. To the point of unpleasant. The tour was fine. Dane our guide was very informative, very friendly and nice. Tour busses, unfortunately, were given preference over private tours. E.g. we were not allowed inside the oldest Catholic church

Our tour got off to a bad start when another traveler with a similar name inadvertently took our guide/driver. We waited at the designated meeting point and then phoned the tour company contact number when we did not find our guide. They contacted the guide who was already en route to Borobudur and everyone realized the error that occurred. The tour company dispatched another driver and arranged to have a guide meet us at Borobudur. We ended up waiting 90 minutes for the new driver to arrive and this resulted in us seeing Borobudur in the late afternoon. We had ample time to visit before closing and it was uncrowded and peaceful. The tour company did everything they could to make the situation right and we were satisfied with their efforts.

During our trip to the Borobudur our guide Uke explained a lot about Indonesia and Semarang.At the Borobudur guide Woody was waiting for us. He is a funny guy who made professional videos from our stay at the Borobudur. It’s a long way up with very high steps, not suitable for people with leg/walking problems.

Today we visited Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple in the world. It's a 2.5 hour drive from Semarang, so it makes a full day. Our guide, Budi, was extremely enthusiastic, and funny, and gave us a great overview of the temple and its history. The place is amazing! Budi also has an interesting hobby: he likes to take romantic photos of couples. ;o) After visiting the temple, we had a delicious meal at a beautiiful local restaurant. We highly recommend this tour!

The largest Buddhist monument in the world is a must-see site, but seeing it involves a full-day experience, as it is about a 2 1/2 hour drive from the port of Semarang. The drive is interesting, however, as it involves travel through multiple villages, agricultural areas, and mountain views. This tour allows about 1 1/2 hours at the monument, which is needed to climb to the top and fully experience the site. Our guide was very kind and helpful to my husband as he struggled to make the climb. The history of the temple is very interesting, as is the restoration as a UNESCO World Heritage site. This is a private tour with guide and driver in a nice, air-conditioned vehicle. The tour included a very nice lunch as well as bottled water during the trip.
