We thoroughly enjoyed our recent trip to Yogyakarta. Our guide Andy and driver Yusef were excellent with good English, considerate, prompt, competent and helpful. The itinerary was great and had very personal and enjoyable opportunities to interact with locals. Truly other than some bad weather which no one controls, this tour more than met our expectations. I highly recommend!

The trip was amazing. A great mix of cultural programs and hiking. The temples and especially the trip to Ijen itself are worth the travel but I liked even more that you can visit some local businesses. I loved that I could try to play the local instruments. I would recommend to expand this trip and add one day between Bromo and Ijen. It would be lovely to had some rest and a good sleep before visiting Ijen.Both nights are very short because of the departure. But it was totally worth it. They arranged to be in the first group to visit the blue fire at the Ijen volcano and it’s the best you can get. Otherwise it will get crowded a lot. I also was very happy that this tour is a privat tour! Therefore a special thanks to my driver Agung for the great company during my travel. From the pick up at the airport to the drop off at my hotel in Bali I felt well taken care of. He helped me a lot and arranged all according to my needs. So I could relax and enjoy my time in Java. Also he helped me find great places to taste local food and was a great companion. I felt like travelling with a friend. I would recommend to ask if he’s available and you should book this tour!

What our customers ask about Yogyakarta Tours & Trips
What are the must-visit cultural attractions in Yogyakarta?
Yogyakarta's cultural landscape centers on the UNESCO-listed Borobudur Temple the world's largest Buddhist sanctuary where visitors can explore more than 2,600 relief sculptures. The Sultan's Palace (Kraton) remains an active royal residence where traditional Javanese architecture tells stories of the region's past. The historic Taman Sari Water Castle provides insight into royal bathing traditions while Prambanan temple complex presents detailed stone carvings of the Ramayana epic. As noted by a TourRadar traveler "The cultural heritage sites exceeded all expectations especially the sunrise view at Borobudur."
What unique local experiences can I have in Yogyakarta?
Villages like Candirejo welcome visitors to join in daily activities from making cassava chips to playing traditional gamelan music and touring local gardens. The artisan quarter of Kotagede Mataram draws travelers interested in silver craftsmanship while the energetic Jalan Malioboro street buzzes with antique vendors and market stalls. Accommodations like the Melia Purosani Yogyakarta blend modern comfort with Javanese hospitality. One TourRadar traveler shared "The village tour in Candirejo was a highlight offering genuine interactions with local families and their daily activities."
What's the best time of year to visit Yogyakarta?
Plan your visit during the dry season from May to September when clear skies make exploring Borobudur and Prambanan temples most enjoyable. The city maintains consistent temperatures around 85°F (29°C) throughout the year. Peak tourism occurs in July and August particularly for visits to Mount Bromo and cultural sites. Early morning visits help avoid both crowds and midday heat. The Phoenix Hotel Yogyakarta offers year-round comfort. According to a TourRadar traveler "Visiting in July offered perfect weather for temple exploration and outdoor activities."
How many days should I spend in Yogyakarta?
Set aside 4-5 days to properly experience Yogyakarta's cultural and natural offerings. Standard itineraries including stays at properties like the Melia Purosani Yogyakarta typically dedicate 3 days to main attractions: Borobudur Prambanan and the Sultan's Palace. Additional time allows for excursions to Mount Bromo or nearby villages. A TourRadar traveler noted "The 5-day itinerary was perfect to explore both the cultural sites and surrounding natural wonders without feeling rushed."
What unique local foods should I try in Yogyakarta?
The local food scene centers on traditional Javanese dishes found in markets and restaurants throughout the city including near the Melia Purosani Yogyakarta. Try Gudeg (young jackfruit stew) Bakpia (sweet filled pastries) and Nasi Gudeg (traditional rice dish). The Malioboro district offers an array of street food specialties. As one TourRadar traveler noted "The traditional Javanese lunch in Candirejo village was a highlight offering authentic flavors we couldn't find elsewhere."
What's the best way to experience sunrise at Borobudur Temple?
Book a pre-dawn tour that departs around 4:00 AM from central hotels like the Melia Purosani Yogyakarta. These excursions provide exclusive access before regular opening hours letting visitors watch the sun emerge over the Menoreh mountains and morning mist. A TourRadar traveler remarked "The early morning start was worth every minute - watching the sun rise over Borobudur was absolutely breathtaking and provided incredible photo opportunities."
