    Great day in Yogyakarta

    "What a great day in Yogyakarta. Not only is Didot super knowledgeable and truly loved what he’s doing but he’s also such a kind and genuinely curious person. Our drives went by in no time as we discussed about any topic you can imagine, from adventure trips in Pakistan to how you make the best stingless bee honey in Indonesia. Thanks so much for this wonderful day in Yogyakarta, Didot. "

    Fantastic day with Didot

    Food tour with locals in Malang

    "We booked this tour to learn about local food. Yulaikha told us about the history and took us to places we ourselves would never go and tried food we would never order. And believe us, it was all very tasteful!! Besides the food Yulaikha is a very nice, warm and sweet person. We will not forget you and made our visit to Yogjakarta special. Lots of love ♥️♥️♥️ Renzo, Gonda Yara and Senne You rocked it Yulaikha 😎"

    We had so much fun

    "By hearing Yula’s stories and being able to ask her anything we really learned a lot more then just walking around ourselves. It was great making a friend for a day! Since we paid full price for our kids I rated the price-value a bit lower. That felt like a bit high as a family."

    Awesome guide and authentic experiences!

    "I had a wonderful day with Didot. Before we started, we agreed to simply go with the flow, and that turned out to be the perfect approach. We visited two beautiful temples, and I was deeply impressed by his knowledge and storytelling. He has a gift for bringing history, culture and mythology to life. He also took me to a fantastic local restaurant for lunch, where I had an unexpected opportunity to meet a craftsman who taught me about keris making and the traditions behind it. That was one of the highlights of my day. Later we explored the countryside together. We had thoughtful and inspiring conversations, and through Didot I was able to connect with local women working in the rice fields and learn about community life and sustainable farming practices. The day was meaningful, educational, inspiring and simply enjoyable. Didot is intelligent, sensitive, curious and easy to talk to. I am very grateful for the experience and can wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for authentic encounters and a deeper connection with Java."

    Funny and interesting food tour in Yogya

    "We book at the very last minute our food tour. Nasir contacted us showing from the start a friendly and flexible attitude. Together with his brother he took us to several different places, he proposed options adapting well and rapidly to our taste and preferences. It was also very interesting to chat with him and his brother about the different kind of food, culinary habits and cultural differences. All in all an interesting, funny and tasty evening with lots of laughter and good food. Grazie Nasir ! "

    A day out with Yula

    "We wanted to meet a special person from Yogyakarta to share with us a snippet of their life in a place so different from ours. Yula did just that! From the moment we met in the morning, our kids were in love with her and everything she shared with us about her life and city was so valuable to all of our experience in Indonesia. A kind and lovely person, with so much relevant and interesting information to share. The tour was a lot of fun!"
