Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"I had a tour of the city with Yula in the morning and this was the perfect way to end the day. I tried a variety of food that I normally would have just passed up. "
"The tour today was amazing with Yula. I was able to see many of the highlights of the city and learn about its rich culture. "
"My partner and I really enjoyed our tour with Yula and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to come to this part of Java. Whichever tour you want to book, or if you want to do something / see something not included in any described tour I am confident Yula could make it happen. It was fascinating to hear about the history of Jogja, it is so much better receiving this information from a well informed local, who can give you the facts and also her own perspective, rather than just reading about it online. It wasn’t just the main sites on our itinerary that made our tour special, it was the smaller places and interactions we stumbled upon along the way. Yula was an expert at breaking the ice and introducing us to locals who we encountered doing interesting things (crafting in workshops / selling produce etc). We learned so much by speaking to them via Yula and really felt like we could connect with locals in a way we could never do on our own. I think the best thing about the tour was I felt much more confident in Jogja after spending time with Yula. She helped break the ice I sometimes feel in a new place. Highly recommend. You will finish a tour with Yula feeling well informed and more confident. "
"We really enjoyed our time sampling the best sweet and savoury delights in Yogyakarta with Yulaikha. Yulaikha was a great conversationalist, food connoisseur and also a very talented artist. Thank you for introducing us to the city! "
"My friend and I (group of 4) had a great time exploring Yogya with Muhanif. We already live in Indonesia, so very much appreciated his food choices that were a little bit out of the ordinary for us. Unfortunately we were traveling during Ramadan, which meant some of the good places were closed at the time of our tour, but we still enjoyed exploring the back streets and places we wouldn't normally go. Thanks for a great tour!"
"For our first day in Jogja we booked a tour with Yula, the tour was beyond expectation. She took us to beautiful places and tolt us a mix of cultural and historical facts. Not only was the food delicious but she is also an amazing person!"
"We had the absolutely best time exploring Indonesian food with Yula. She quickly figured out what we might enjoy, and her choices were a hit from the very start. The time we spent with her was informative, interesting, and most of all fun, and we feel we are leaving Yogyakarta with a much better understanding and appreciation of the food, and most importantly, a new friend. We hope to see her again soon. "
"Yula is super!!! First of all she is a lovely person. Kind, patience and helps you to enjoy your stay. She has the real experience to be your local guide. Born in Yogyo she is realy a local. Besides her good English she also speaks Dutch as she is maried to a Dutch guy. We enjoyed so much having her as a guide. It made our evening superb. And we have tasted food we would otherwise never have found or eaten. Again.....super!"
"Today we did a food tour with Yula. She’s an incredibly sweet woman who really goes out of her way to make sure you have a great time. She took plenty of time with us, explained a lot about the history of Yogyakarta, and brought us to lovely local spots to try different dishes. Places you normally wouldn’t easily find as a tourist, because they’re hidden away. Yula has a Dutch husband, so it was really fun to talk with her about all the differences between the Netherlands and Indonesia, sometimes even in Dutch! Dankjewel Yula, for the wonderful day!"
"Yula provided a great introduction to the history of Yogyakarta. She was very knowledgeable, interesting and great at expressing herself in English. Not only was Yula great at making ancient events come alive but also very informative about contemporary life. She was terrific company, charming and funny too! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
