Book a FREE walking tour in Indonesia
Free walking tours. Yes, actually free. No credit card needed. No catch.
Base yourself in Yogyakarta and use Gojek or Grab for most transfers, costing roughly 20,000 to 40,000 IDR for short hops, or Blue Bird taxis at about $0.4 per kilometer for comfort with children. For Borobudur and Magelang, hire a car with driver for the day (around 500,000 IDR) since the site is about 90 minutes from the city and public options are limited. Prambanan and Taman Sari are easily reached by Grab or a short TransJakarta-style bus ride, while walking is best within the royal quarter and around the water castle. For the southern coast, a two-hour Grab or rented car journey takes you to Uluwatu, where walking suits the beach and village areas.
