Hi busybean, the company is called indo global tours. Its actually a buddy of mine who is on the same cruise that has organised this trip.
The plan is be off the ship by 8am (possibly sooner), 2 hour drive with police escort, Borobudur visit, lunch at local restaurant, drive 1 hour to prambanan with visit, return to ship @2.5 - 3hrs. Total round trip around 11 hours, and we should be back around 7pm for a 10pm embark.
I appreciate that this type of "risk" isn't for everyone, but given the time we have onshore, we believe its doable and worth it. i believe we have 8 or 9 folks on this tour which is the max.

Hi David
I realise your post is quite old now, but I was wondering how this tour went for you? We are trying to plan a day tour from Semarang to visit Borobudur and Prambanam temples in December this year, and had found Indoglobal on the web, but no actual feedback from travellers who had used them. Our ship will have an overnight in port, so no problem with potential delayed return from the tour.
Hope you're still subscribed to this thread, and can give us some advice! Many thanks in advance
Borobudur by bus or bus/train combo
