Amazing Tour
23-Sep-2022
I believe everyone who is in Yogyakarta should do this trip with Firdaus. It was absolutely amazing. He showed us such great places and share so much wisdom and knowledge with us. He was our guide for that whole day and adjusted the route accordingly to our wishes. We did more than we expected and learned so much. This trip was really memorable and great!

I contacted YKExplore to organize a personalised 4D3N family tour from Yogyakarta to Bali. They have been extremely helpful and responsive in providing suggestions and information while we were designing the trip. The tour itself was memorable for the places we visited and enriched by the careful and expert guide of Anggan, always ready to add cultural details and information for everything we were seeing and always flexiible to accomodate our needs during the tour. It has been a pleasure travelling with YKExplore.

13-Feb-2025
I went on the Candi Borobudur and Candi Prambaman tour yesterday with YKExplore it was awesome. There were three of us in the car, plus our driver Bhimo, an excellent driver and guide and took great care of us. He also helped me with my Bahasa.
We were able to clime to the penultimate level of Borobudur, and with the small group we were assigned to had about 15 minutes at the top of the structure to ourselves before the next group was scheduled.
Two World Heritage Sites in one day was an experience I won’t forget. Thanks YKE

05-Aug-2023
Whenever you need a tour around Yogyakarta, Bromo, or even Ijen and Bali stretching to even other locations, Tolib the driver guide is your best companion. I travel solo, nothing I don’t trust Tolib to help and take care of. Tolib brought me to the temples like Borobudur, Prambanan, everything just worked very well, and plus he might bring you to try some good snacks if that is what you wish for when coming to Indonesia. Sit back, and relax with Tolib.

07-Sep-2024
I booked 2 tours with them. Prambanan/Borobudur and Bromo/Tumpak Sewu. I wanted to do Ijen but unfortunately due to high activity in the volcano it was closed.
Since the begining Lintang contacted me and was super helpful two months in advance to my trip. She offered many options and there where no imposibles for her, no matter if I changed the date or the tour she always helped.
Anggan my tour guide became my friend and trusted advisor, we exchanged cultures and explore some places together. He was very pacient and flexible. Always with a smile.
I 100% recommend their tours.
Also the places you visit are breathtaking and completely worth it

06-Oct-2023
The trip was amazing. My driver, Yusuf, was very polite and took me to Borobudur and the two smaller temples that are very close to Borobudur(Pawon and Mendut). No extra fee required.
For lunch, he took me to a local restaurant that he recommended. It was delicious.
With a decent fee and amazing service, I strongly recommend this tour.

02-Feb-2024
A super interesting day! Bagus was a very knowledgeable driver who told us many things about the temples and Indonesia. He was able to answer all questions and was super fun to be around. He dropped us off at the temples and was always reachable via WhatsApp to pick us up at the exits! The temples itself are beautiful and fascinating. At Borobudur you get a guide who is incredibly knowledgeable and talkative.
Be aware that there are quite some steep steps to climb in the scorching heat. At Prambanan temple complex there are less steps but it's equally as stunning! Definitely visit the smaller temples in the complex as well!

24-Mar-2024
Thoroughly enjoyed a well planned trip to see Borobudur and Prambanam Temples. Our driver Yovi was excellent and is a font of Indonesian and local knowledge. The expert guides at Borobudur elevate the experience. It is possible to request a guide at the Prambanam site but we decided not to and took our time exploring all the temples on the complex. Both of these sites are really special and we've left with a deeper understanding of Buddhism and Hinduism and their architectures.
