Experience Day trips in the best of
Yogyakarta with Withlocals

"What a great day in Yogyakarta. Not only is Didot super knowledgeable and truly loved what he’s doing but he’s also such a kind and genuinely curious person. Our drives went by in no time as we discussed about any topic you can imagine, from adventure trips in Pakistan to how you make the best stingless bee honey in Indonesia. Thanks so much for this wonderful day in Yogyakarta, Didot. "

"Wonderful guide and all around experience. Very helpful and knowledgeable. I hope you come back again!"

"We had a great day seeing Borobudur and Parambaran with Didot. He was friendly and extremely knowledgeable, and very patient with our two young children. Thank you Didot for a truly memorable day. Would highly recommend to others."

"I express my full satisfaction on the arrangements, the vehicle and scheduling (including punctuality) for my Prambanan & Borobudur trip. The guide is very well informed and knowledgeable apart from being very polite and helpful. Overall, a very good experience."

"I had a wonderful day with Didot. Before we started, we agreed to simply go with the flow, and that turned out to be the perfect approach. We visited two beautiful temples, and I was deeply impressed by his knowledge and storytelling. He has a gift for bringing history, culture and mythology to life. He also took me to a fantastic local restaurant for lunch, where I had an unexpected opportunity to meet a craftsman who taught me about keris making and the traditions behind it. That was one of the highlights of my day. Later we explored the countryside together. We had thoughtful and inspiring conversations, and through Didot I was able to connect with local women working in the rice fields and learn about community life and sustainable farming practices. The day was meaningful, educational, inspiring and simply enjoyable. Didot is intelligent, sensitive, curious and easy to talk to. I am very grateful for the experience and can wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for authentic encounters and a deeper connection with Java."

"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. "

"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."

"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! 🙏"

"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. ❤️"
