Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Yula was a great guide, she answered all our questions, took us to some great spots and introduced us to different local vendors. Highly recommend!"
"Tini was an excellent guide who is very knowledgeable about the history and myths in the local temples. Borobudur now requires you to use their own guides, so even though she is qualified to do that portion, she had to wait for us while we climbed the temple; however, she planned our day very well and took us to other local sites as well. We felt it was well worth it to have her as our guide, as it made the entire day more pleasant and interesting. "
"Yulaikha embodies what it means to be guided by a local. Not only was she provided great historical and cultural insight, but was wonderful company. Thank you for a wonderful experience."
"Here’s a polished, heartfelt review: Didot was an outstanding guide and made our experience truly memorable. He took the time to answer every question we had and kept us informed whenever there were schedule changes, even when they were completely outside of his control. His communication was excellent, and we always felt well taken care of. What stood out most was his genuine passion for sharing his hometown. It was clear that he loves introducing visitors to the local culture and making sure they have the best possible experience. He was always punctual, incredibly accommodating, and never made us feel rushed, while still ensuring we arrived at every scheduled activity on time. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Didot to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and personable host."
"Yula was, without a doubt, the highlight of our time in Yogyakarta. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. She took us far beyond the typical tourist spots and introduced us to truly local places we would never have found on our own. Along the way, she shared not only the rich history and culture of Yogyakarta in incredible detail, but also her own personal story, which made the experience even more meaningful and authentic. Yula was incredibly flexible, thoughtful, and full of practical recommendations that helped us make the most of the rest of our trip. Every suggestion she gave turned out to be spot on. Most importantly, she is such a warm, kind, and genuine person. By the end of the day, it felt like we had spent time with a friend rather than a guide. We genuinely hope to stay in touch and would absolutely book another tour with her the next time we’re in Indonesia. If you’re visiting Yogyakarta, don’t hesitate to book Yula. She will make your trip richer, more authentic, and unforgettable. Highly, highly recommended!"
"Here's a friendly and natural review in English: > We had a wonderful time on the street food tour with Yula! She was incredibly kind, caring, and attentive to all of us. Our children loved her from the very first moment, which made the experience even more enjoyable for our family. We got to taste many delicious local dishes and, along the way, Yula shared fascinating stories about the history and culture of Yogyakarta. It was the perfect combination of great food, local insights, and warm hospitality. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Yogyakarta. If we had stayed longer, we would definitely have joined her other city tours as well. Thank you, Yula, for such a memorable evening! 😊"
"We contacted Yulaikha on short notice and she got back to us immediately and was super accomodating. She took us on a tour through Kotagede and regaled us with heaps of interesting stories and information. It made the visit so much more worthwhile. Yulaikha is so lovely, knowledgeable and helpful! Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you! "
"An absolutely unforgettable day trip to Borobudur and Prambanan with Didot! From the moment we set off, it was clear we were in the best hands - Didot's warm personality, genuine passion for travel, and deep love for Indonesia made this so much more than a sightseeing tour. His knowledge of these incredible cultural and spiritual sites was both fascinating and inspiring, and the conversations flowed effortlessly throughout the day. You could feel his pride and enthusiasm in every story he shared - the kind of insight you simply can't get from a guidebook. Driving was smooth, safe, and stress-free the entire time, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Didot has a rare gift for making guests feel completely at ease while keeping the day engaging and immersive. If you're visiting Yogyakarta and want to explore these magnificent UNESCO World Heritage sites with someone who truly brings them to life -look no further. Highly, highly recommended. Thank you, Didot, for an extraordinary day! 🙏"
"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. "
