Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"For our first day in Jogja we booked a tour with Yula, the tour was beyond expectation. She took us to beautiful places and tolt us a mix of cultural and historical facts. Not only was the food delicious but she is also an amazing person!"
"We had the absolutely best time exploring Indonesian food with Yula. She quickly figured out what we might enjoy, and her choices were a hit from the very start. The time we spent with her was informative, interesting, and most of all fun, and we feel we are leaving Yogyakarta with a much better understanding and appreciation of the food, and most importantly, a new friend. We hope to see her again soon. "
"Tini was an excellent guide for us to visit Borobudur and Prambanan. She knew so much about the history, religion, and culture, that she really made the sites come alive for us. She also added special treats along the way, based on our interests and enjoyment. Highly recommend. The driver and car were also safe, clean, and comfortable. "
"Yula is super!!! First of all she is a lovely person. Kind, patience and helps you to enjoy your stay. She has the real experience to be your local guide. Born in Yogyo she is realy a local. Besides her good English she also speaks Dutch as she is maried to a Dutch guy. We enjoyed so much having her as a guide. It made our evening superb. And we have tasted food we would otherwise never have found or eaten. Again.....super!"
"Today we did a food tour with Yula. She’s an incredibly sweet woman who really goes out of her way to make sure you have a great time. She took plenty of time with us, explained a lot about the history of Yogyakarta, and brought us to lovely local spots to try different dishes. Places you normally wouldn’t easily find as a tourist, because they’re hidden away. Yula has a Dutch husband, so it was really fun to talk with her about all the differences between the Netherlands and Indonesia, sometimes even in Dutch! Dankjewel Yula, for the wonderful day!"
"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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"Tini is very knowledgeable, extremely generous with her time and patience. The best guide in Jogja!!!"
"Loved Nasir. Knowledgeable, super friendly, strong English. Ate many delicious things."
"We had a great experience, too much food though :) nice to get a cultural and culinary tour through Yogyakarta"
"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😊"
