Experience City tours in the best of
Yogyakarta with Withlocals

"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!"

"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."

"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!"

"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! "

"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. "

"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. "

"Yula provided a great introduction to the history of Yogyakarta. She was very knowledgeable, interesting and great at expressing herself in English. Not only was Yula great at making ancient events come alive but also very informative about contemporary life. She was terrific company, charming and funny too! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"We had two tours with Yula - the streetfood tour as well as the full coverage city tour - both of which were simply exceptional. A big THANK YOU once more to Yula who took such incredible care of us. We learned and saw so much. Yula is truly a gem of a person, very knowledgeable and fun to be with - we had such a fantastic time together and were so sad when we had to say goodbye. We can’t recommend Yula highly enough to explore the sights and tastes of Yogyakarta with😊"

"We asked Yula to take us to off the beaten path sites, fun neighborhoods and local markets. She did all that and more. Very knowledgeable, good communicator and passionate about her city of Yogyakarta, Yula introduced us to new foods, a great handmade silver shop, a beautiful mosque and a quiet cafe for a much needed Coffee Aren!. We would hire her again. "

"Thank you, Yulaikha! for a wonderful day in Yogyakarta. It was a great introduction to our trip around Indonesia. We learnt a lot about the city, as well as trying various street foods that we would never have tried on our own😉. We cannot recommend your Heritage and Food Tour enough. Combining the two tours was perfect for us. 😍. "
