Experience the best of
Yogyakarta with Withlocals

"Yulia was a fun local guide who not only gave a great local cuisine experience but it was complemented with local tales and places of interest. She tailored the morning for us and had many well researched options to provide us with flexibility in food options. Heiko and Indra from Australia"

"Tini’s historical knowledge of both the temples added depth and colour to our visit by bringing history alive. And the bonus was the lunch stop at the Fish Ponds restaurant. Indra & Heiko from Australia."

"Erna was an amazing guide to the history, culture, and food of Yogyakarta. She customized the tour to let us try many things we wouldn’t be able to try on the regular tour. If you are going to be traveling to Yogya, sign up for this tour immediately and make sure to ask for Erna! "

"Tini is a great guide with a very wide knowledge. Our tour was great and she did a great job, that we feel us comfortable. She let us roam free, but is there for questions. It was really great!"

"Our cooking workshop with Erna was truly lovely. We enjoyed the local market with her. She tells you a lot about the different types of greens and fruits, good to know some background information about Indonesian cuisine. It was very special to be a part of the family for a while. Loved her mom and nephew. The food was very nice and we are dying to try these recipes at home. Thank you Erna🙏"

"We visited Prambanan Temple and the smaller temples next to it. Tini was an excellent guide, as she is very knowledgeable. After that we moved to Borobudur Temple, just before entering it we stoped at Mendut Monastery were she explained the story pictured in Borobudur as she could not enter with us (by the temple policy) which really helped while the visit. In general Tini was very friendly and open to questions. She explained both temples in details and her explanations were very clear. I highly recommend Tini to other tourists looking to have an authentic experience in Yogyakarta’s temples with a more in depth explanation of them"

"Tini is very knowledgeable and kind, she is professional and precise. We enjoyed a lot the tour. We recommend Tini to everyone that would like to visit the two temples."

"We had a wonderful day with Didot visiting Borobudur and Prambanan. Didot gave great advice in advance of the tour, making sure we booked our tickets for the correct date and time. On the day of our tour, he was on time and smiling from the early morning. Didot is very knowledgeable about both temples as well as Indonesia as a whole. He speaks excellent English and tells very fun stories about his homeland. In hearing our interests in local foods, he took us on an unscheduled stop to his friend, a beekeeper where we got to learn about and taste the honey from his hives. We highly recommend a day in Yogya with Didot. "

"We are a family of four, with two teenagers. We booked Borobudur Temple and Prambanan Temple Day trip. Didot is a great guide. He grew up in Yogyakarta and knows very well all sites in the city and in its surroundings. He explains history, philosophy, arts and food. Didot has a degree in technology and you can discuss with him this topic, too. Our tour with Didot was over extremely fast. He’s a great host. Not only during the visit, but equally well before and after the tour. He provided tips about transport, restaurants and music. If we return to Yogyakarta, we’ll definitely ask Didot if he can be our guide again."

"Tini was not available so she referred us to her friend and tour guide, Walun. Both Walun and the driver were very accommodating, patient and friendly. Walun instantly made us feel at ease, and was very knowledgable about the temples, Javanese culture and folk stories. It was a joy attending this tour with her!"
