Experience the best of
Yogyakarta with Withlocals

"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."

"Didot’s passion for his culture and country is overwhelming. He connected us to their roots, history, complexity and traditions and left a part of Indonesia with us. We had the chance to experience local cuisine, from breakfast till lunch. The organization of the entire trip and different visits was flawless, the explanations and story about the temples were clear, impeccable and super interesting and could not have asked for a better guide for our Yogyakarta trip. We found a friend in Didot and hopefully we will meet him again in our next journey to Indonesia."

"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!"

"Didot is just an amazing guide! He is very kind, attentive, always smiling and full of anecdotes. Our day was incredible and very rewarding. He knows the history of Borobudur and Prambanan perfectly. And tell the stories with passion and humour. He takes the time to make us discover the real indonesian food and it is a real pleasure ! We had a lot of laught ! He really loves his job and peoples ! it feels ! Thank you for all Didot ☀️ Don't hesitate to book with him ! He is the best !"

"Tini is a kind and very knowledgeable guide. The perfect person for everyone to learn more about Borobudur, Prambanan and Yogyakarta in general. Highly recommended!"

"My full day temple tour with Didot was awesome! He was kind, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, folklore, religion, and points of interest regarding the Indonesian people and was great at explaining it all in English. We were blessed with incredible weather and low crowds, but even if we hadn't been so lucky, Didot made sure we had great food, water, and his childhood friend Jovi, who was our driver, was always ready for us with the car and a smile! We learned a lot about Didot's family, visited a local market, ate at a lovely delicious restaurant, bought and drank delicious coffee, and saw many a temple, temple, temple! It was a day full of information, friendship, amazing food and architecture. Didot worked hard to explain all our potential itinerary options and tailored the day to suit our needs. He was a perfect guide and any traveler would be lucky to be in his company and see Indonesia through his eyes. Thanks for everything Didot!! "

"Tini was a great guide who showed me both temples, explaining all the history. Tini was also very kind because during the trip we stopped a few times to share small meals - snacks and fruits and so on. Just a lovely company :) Highly recommend her tour and would do it again!"
