Great experience
"Yula is a lovely tour guide. We enjoyed her company for 6 hours for back to back culture and food tours. She patiently answered all our questions about Java, most of which had nothing to do with food. We visited local sites, rode a tuktuk, stuffed our selves with Indonesian food and had a lively walk down the main street. We recommend!"

Lovely guide for a sneak peak of the city
"Our family had only few hours to spend in the city and choosing Yula was a wise decision. She accommodated our needs in terms of time and length of the tour. She showed us some areas we wouldn’t have visited on our own and in the meantime she explained to us the history of Yogyakarta. We even tried some yummy Javanese snacks. Yula is a kind, gentle and knowledgeable person and the time we spent with her has been a true pleasure."

Memorable tour experiences!
"I did two tours with Yula while in yogyakarta - city highlights and Kotagede. Yula is an extremely kind and knowledgeable guide who shared her passion for her city. She went above and beyond in order to ensure she was meeting my needs and I was getting the most out of my tours according to my particular interests. I love doing tours with locals because you really get an authentic insight into the city and its stories that only locals know. Thank you Yula for a most memorable time and for making my experience of Yogyakarta so very special!"

Review about Yulaikha
"I really enjoyed the tour "Javanese Heritage", during which Yula guided me through the ancient Mosque. She was well prepared, kind, patient, open midend, generous and curious. After the tour, she invited me to try some local delicacies. At the end, she stayed with me until the taxi picked me up. I definitely recommend to follow the tour with her. Thank you, dear Yula!"
