Yes, its a two hour ride from the port to Borobodur Temple in Yogyakarta Indonesia and the drive is not for the faint of heart... but is/was so worth it. Our driver Atok, who lives out near Yogyakarta drove out early in the morning to meet the ship and drove us out to visit this temple and the Medut Temple. You are provided with temple sandals with the price of the ticket, as you are not permitted to climb the temple with your own shoes. But once you are provided with temple sandals (they will have your size), they give you a bag for your shoes, and then the bag and the sandals are yours to keep.
It was very hot and this was at the beginning of dry season. For your comfort you may want to walk with an umbrella or a wide brimmed hat ( yes I hate mine too) as well as water. Our guide provided 2 bottles of water per person at the outset.
The pace of the walk up the temple may be moderate but the steps are narrow and there will be a lot of "traffic" going up and down.
Note that the access to the temple is limited to a certain number of people per day. So booking a tour or getting tickets in advance is important to avoid disappointment.
At the temple you will get a local tour guide and they will lead you up the temple steps and give the history of same. The view is amazing and the carvings in the temple walls tell the story of the times. Your entry ticket to the temple access is timed at entry and you will receive a wristband when you enter. This is a one way access so if you leave, there is no "free return". Get all your pictures and experience before you take the walk down.
Medut Temple and the modest grounds was very interesting as the Buddhist temple area includes what I would say is a replica of Bayon Temple South gate (Angkor Wat Cambodia) including the faces of Jayavarman VII, which was a surprise.
Our driver (Atok) was very accommodating and offered and took all the pictures of us that we wanted, and then some. Also, as advertised in the tour description, we got a souvenir to take home at the end of the tour, a very nice and appreciated touch, especially because we did not have to haggle with any of the shopkeepers to get it.
Getting out of the grounds of the Borobudur temple, will be a maze of shops... it may take as long as 20 minutes, even if you don't stop to buy anything. I think there has to be a shortcut out of that haggle fest ... ask your driver/guide so you don't "waste time if you are not interested" in that process.
Thanks to Atok for a fantastic day in Yogyakarta and for getting us back to the ship ON TIME!!

This is a 100% Recommendation to book this tour with Maxi!!!
Maxi was super-friendly and a great, careful driver. He brought us to the Borobodur Tempel, took politely care about us, got the tickets, showed us the meetingpoints for the guided tour and the shuttle. At the end of the visit he waited for us with a lunch package, cold botteled water und refreshing cold towels, always with a smile, absolutely great! He took us also to another buddhist temple where he was our guide and inspired us with his excellent knowledge about the Buddhism. Of course we had a safe trip back to the ship and were extremely happy with our great day.
Thanks, Maxi, for this great tour, and your outstanding, perfect service!!!

We finished Borobudur tour with our cruise stop at Semarang port. Communication from the tour operator for the booking was excellent. As promised, Widi waited for us when we got to the exit of the cruise terminal.
Our guide speaks excellent English with a funny personality, and provided us with interesting facts about the Borobudur Temple.
Vehicle is very new and clean, and our driver was professional and we felt very safe with his driving, despite the heavy traffic, narrow and winding road and rain.
We would highly recommend using this company for tours they offer.

We were on a tour to Borobodur temple. We decide to rent a car and arrive in 2,5 hours insted of 4 hours by bus. As our ship arrived in a Java port, driver, Nur was already waiting for us. He drove 4 of us in a very comfortable car and gave us all interesting information during the trip. He’s nice tourist guide as well as the driver. Your ended up in 7PM.
Thank you Nur for everything, hope to see you again ☺️ Best regards from Serbia

Book this trip! You will not be disappointed! Booking this trip was extremely easy and they answered any questions and concerns promptly. I picked WhatsApp to communicate which was convenient especially while on the cruise ship. I received a message the day prior confirming all the information. I also received a message from my driver, Mr. Adit, who made sure to let me know he would be directly outside the cruise port holding a sign with my name on it. The morning of the excursion that is exactly where I found Mr. Adit with my name nicely printed out and extremely easy to find. It was at this time we were led to a well kept vehicle to start our 2.5 hour trip to Borobudur. Mr. Adit was not only extremely knowledgeable, but he also provided a beautiful bowl of fruits. We arrived at Borobudur where Mr. Adit handled everything! I seriously mean everything. Mr. Adit handled the tickets, held our shoes for us while on the tour (had to switch into special sandals so we don’t damage the temple), and even took amazing photographs of us! Mr. Adit also made sure we made it back to the cruise port on time for our departure. This excursion was beautiful and by far one of the best experiences I’ve had. If you can I would definitely request Mr. Adit as your

The private tour with Hibza to Borobudur was excellent. He picked us up from the port, contacted us via wattsapp to let us know he had arrived. Hibza a had good quality car and drove very well in the crazy traffic. He was a very nice and kind person. I would highly recommend this day tour from the port of Semarang. The temple structure was very amazing and well restored and comparable to Ankor Wat in Siem Reap. Another stop was made at the Mendut Temple which was also impressive. I enjoyed visiting the batik shop, some of the pieces were just beautiful. A great day was had.

Widi met us at the port in Semarang for a tour of Borobudur temple. It’s a two hour drive from the port and he gave us the history of the island and the temple as we drove through some pretty crazy traffic. Widi could qualify for “The Great Race!” He’s an excellent driver. The temple was amazing and Widi was a great escort and guide. We’re in our late 60’s and have some mobility issues, but Widi was patient and kind and allowed us to rest along the way. I can’t say enough nice things about Widi! He’s the most exceptional driver and guide you could find.

This time I took advantage of my free time on a business trip to visit the Seven Wonders of the World and the largest Buddhist temple. It is very worth visiting. The tour guide Hibza is very nice. He drives very safely and quickly. He always cares about passengers, which makes me feel at ease when traveling alone!

A great day! Everything came off without a hitch. Dani picked us up timely from the cruise port and got us to the temple for our timed entry to go to the top. Guided us through the entry/ticket/local guide/shuttle process at the temple and was waiting for us with a cold towel and refreshments when we finished. Got back to port in plenty of time despite some heavy traffic. It's an amazing place well worth the trip! We also got to visit Mendut Temple, which is nearby to Borobudur. Large Buddhas inside and a huge banyan tree outside. Dani shared lots of local knowledge and Buddhist & Hindu belief system and culture that made it even more interesting!
