Travelling solo, I was joined by three other people for this car tour. Our driver, Irfan, was punctual, attentive and very friendly. The sites themselves are beautiful, there were people, especially local tourists, but it did not too hinder the experience except maybe at the top of Borobudur where you had to be a little patient for the platform emerges and you can appreciate the beauty of the site.…”
