"Yulaikha gave us a very thorough and informative tour of the major sights in Yogyakarta. Her excellent English and deep knowledge of local history helped us to better understand and appreciate the sights at Fort Vredeburg, Kraton palace, Taman Sari and the surrounding neighborhood. Yula’s tour was definitely worth the price, and we would highly recommend her! "

Yula is an excellent tour guide
"We had the best day with Yula. She immediately put us at ease with her warmth and friendliness. Yula was very responsive to our needs and took the tour at the right pace for us. Yula was very knowledgable about all the places she took us - the Kraton, Tamansari and Vredeburg Museum. I highly recommend her as a guide. "

A great overview if vibrant Yogyakarta
"Muhanif (Andi) was a fabulous guide. He has wonderful knowledge of the area and his insights were appreciated. He showed us many things we wouldn’t have seen, and took us down side streets with great stories. His English is very good, and he kept us entertained.
I would book again! Thank you, Andi!"
"Yula is an amazing local guide! We learned so much about Yogyakarta's culture, history, and daily life during our time with her. We had lots of discussions and asked many questions, and she was always happy to share her knowledge and insights. We truly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend joining one of her tours — you won’t regret it!"

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!"
"Yula was an amazing guide. Thoughtful, practical, excellent English. She was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot from her tour. She was also very pleasant to spend time with. Like having a friend give you a tour of their hometown.

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."

Review about Yulaikha
"We started this tour as strangers and ended it as friends! Yula was a fantastic guide who spoke excellent English and was a joy to be around. She was patient, flexible, and more than happy to take photos of us. We were able to learn so much from her as she is super knowledgeable and has a great understanding of the sites and history we visited. What was extra special was that she gifted us each a small piece of her beautiful artwork. I highly recommend Yula to be your guide! We will keep in touch <3"
"Yula showed us Yogyakarta and told a lot about the history of Indonesia and Java and local and royal habits like we requested. It was both personal ánd fun. We had a great time, thanks again!"
