Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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. "
"Tini is a kind and exceptionally knowledgeable guide whose company really adds a special touch to the Prambanan-Borobudur tour experience. The temples themselves exhibit a dignity and splendour that’s not easy to put into words. Suffice it to say, it’s fascinating to consider how vanishingly little we know about the - surely resplendent - civilisations that built them. Not to be missed."
"Two of us spent the day with Didot and we couldn't ask for a better guide. He's really friendly, knowledgeable and dropped ton of information on us, describing Indonesia culture specifics, religion and regions nuances while we were driving to the destination. We asked a lot of questions and were curious about many things Indonesia and Didot delivered. We went for lunch, drinks and chat while visiting temples and hearing history stories from Didot. 10 hours tour went like it was 1 hour! We were blown away with how good choice we made going on the tour with Didot and would definitely seek him out the next time we visit to go for another amazing trip. Didot is great driver and will assist you with anything to make your experience really comfortable. Pick Didot, you'll have amazing trip and learn ton of stuff. ❤️"
"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!"
"Tini had great information about Prambanan and Borobodur. She and her driver was exceptionally patient with my family. We got to visit a batik workshop in between, and see a clear view of Mount Merapi. "
"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. "
"Tini was an excellent guide for us to visit Borobudur and Prambanan. She knew so much about the history, religion, and culture, that she really made the sites come alive for us. She also added special treats along the way, based on our interests and enjoyment. Highly recommend. The driver and car were also safe, clean, and comfortable. "
"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!"
