Sekar Bumi Tour Yogyakarta · Yogyakarta or Magelang
Sekar Bumi Tour Yogyakarta fits both of Java's big temples into one day. The inclusions list a "Stumbu Hill ticket", which is Setumbu Hill spelled differently: the sunrise is on the hill, then you climb Borobudur and finish at Prambanan.
The title says "guarantee climb up", and the listing backs it with a temple climb-up ticket in the inclusions. The sunrise itself is on Setumbu Hill: the "Stumbu Hill ticket" in the list is the same place under a variant spelling. Expect the hill at dawn, then Borobudur in a regular climbing session, which starts from 08:30.
Prambanan fills the afternoon. The page lists it first and says the order can vary, so don't be surprised if your guide swaps them. The Borobudur and Prambanan entrance tickets come with the all-inclusive option; check which option you're booking. Donation and parking fees and mineral water are covered. Personal spending and gratuities are not.
Two practical details set it apart. There are six pickup options in the Yogyakarta and Magelang area, handy if you're staying near Borobudur. And the live guide speaks English, Indonesian or Malay, with an English-speaking driver. The listing notes that the Roro Jonggrang temple at Prambanan is closed on Mondays.
