borobudur and prambanan temples are insanely beautiful, but in the middle of the day it was very hot and many tourists on the open platforms. round-trip flights in one day are quite tiring. organization is normal.

beautiful majestic temples, excellent locations for shooting. took off a star only because in Kraton Sultan's palace some pavilions were closed for restoration on the day of our visit. transfers and guide are ok.

The temples are stunning, very educational. The only downside is a long and rich day, the children got very tired by the end from flights and transfers. Otherwise, excellent organization, very caring guide.

What a wonder! We visited Java with the whole family! The kids loved the Kraton Sultan's palace and the ancient stone Buddha statues in Borobudur! Took amazing family shots against the background of Prambanan's majestic spires! Everything was great!
