• 5A fun adventure!

  A really fun experience with Maxi who was super friendly and knowledgeable! The food and coffee were also great! My favourite part was walking to the waterfall and riding the motorbike back!

• 5Excellent tour with exceptional guide!

  We had a wonderful experience with Fery, our driver and guide, who was incredibly friendly, accommodating and thoughtful throughout the entire day. During the trek through the rice terraces around Selogriyo and later at Kedung Kayang Waterfall, he was always attentive and made sure I was safe, especially along the steeper and more uneven parts of the trail. I really appreciated how considerate he was without ever making the experience feel rushed or overly cautious. He was also very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information about the local history, culture and way of life along the way, which made the whole trip much more meaningful than simply visiting the sights. What stood out most was how genuinely friendly and thoughtful he was throughout the day. I felt very well looked after from beginning to end. Highly recommended, and I would happily book a tour with him again.

• 4Temple and rice fields - a pleasant walk.

  Our driver/guide Aman was very pleasant and informative. The drive to the rice fields gave us a snapshot of life outside Yogyakarta city. The walk through the rice fields to the temple was a very pleasant, easy walk. The temple and garden was very calming and our local coffee was tasty. We then drove to the waterfall over an hour from the temple towards Merapi volcano. After 3 months with no rain there was still water flowing. However there is limited opportunity to walk all the way down to the base of the falls. I recommend the temple and rice fields but not the waterfalls in the same trip.

• 5A great trip to the rice fields

  While our daughters were off visiting Jomblang Cave, my wife and I chose to explore the rice fields with Asmaradhana Borobudur Tours. We were met by Bima, whose excellent English made it easy for us to enjoy a wide range of fascinating conversations about Java, village life and the process of growing rice. We were taken to a village outside Yogyakarta and treated to stunning scenery as we walked through the fields, passing locals hard at work planting and harvesting rice. The variety of crops was remarkable, including chillies, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, aubergines, lemongrass, coffee and much more. It was a wonderful opportunity to see rural life at close quarters and gain a real insight into how much work goes into producing the food grown here. After visiting Selogriyo Temple, we stopped on the way down at a small, perfectly formed drinks stall run by an enterprising young couple. Their local coffee was excellent, but the real hit was the hot chocolate and ginger drink. We enjoyed it so much that we bought some of the powder to take home with us. We had set off early and felt very privileged to experience such a beautiful place before other visitors arrived. It isn't a busy area by any means, but the early morning light was particularly special, with just us and the local farmers working in the fields. It was a fantastic day, combining beautiful scenery, fascinating conversations and a genuine glimpse into rural Javanese life. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for something a little different and a chance to experience Java beyond the usual tourist attractions.
