Free walking tours in Yogyakarta

A great introduction to Jogjakarta history! Having the chance to learn from Tara about the sultan’s place and how the land has changed throughout time to shape what a part of Jogja is nowadays was so interesting! Tara won’t just throw random info but does it in a way that you can connect the dots between the different spots in a fun and interesting way! :) I wasn’t sure about booking a tour, but having this walk made me realize I’d have missed that piece that makes the whole picture clear. Definitely something you shouldn’t skip if you visit Jogja!! Thanks Tara 🙌🏼

Eveline ha sido una guía fantástica en este tour por Yogyakarta. Vive la ciudad con pasión y eso se nota. Además de tener muchos detalles con los clientes. De las mejores guías de free tour que he tenido!

We had an amazing tour, puspa was so bubbly made it feel like a walk with a friend you already know. Would highly recommend!

Puspa is a very bubbly, social and sweet guide! She knows a lot about Yogjakarta, she answered all our questions very professional and with a lot of interesting information. She took us to nice spots to try different food and drinks, that we visited again the next day. We actually had a private tour and we both had a great experience with Puspa!

Es war eine tolle Walking Tour, Puspa hat uns viele coole Fakten erzählt!

Nos encantó! La comida estaba deliciosa, el recorrido fue ideal, por los lugares imperdibles de Yogyakarta y nuestra guía super amable y entretenida! Muy recomendado :)

We had an amazing tour through the historical highlights of Yogyakarta with Tarra. He guided us through the Kraton (Royal Palace), made a stop at a mosque, showed us the beautiful Water Palace, and showed us a traditional food market. Everything was perfectly organized, and we didn’t have to worry about tickets or logistics at all. Tarra is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also genuinely fun and engaging. As a young local, he knows the city extremely well and has a great way of making sure everyone is having a good time while sharing interesting insights about the places we visited. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. We didn’t just have a great guide, we feel like we made a new friend. We would absolutely do another tour with Tarra and can highly recommend him without hesitation!

This tour is a must do if you wish to understand more about the history of the oldest area of Jogjakarta. It was sad to see that batik and silver manufacturing have almost completely dissappeared from Kotagede. Our guide was excellent.

Despite the gloomy weather at the start of the day, we had one of the best town tours thanks to Tara and Guruwalk! Our young guide, Tara, took us to the most characteristic spots in Jogja, sharing interesting anecdotes and historical facts along the way. Very friendly and empathetic, and attentive to our needs, he also took us to try some Javanese specialties mid-morning. He was also very helpful in giving recommendations about local activities, restaurants, and more. We highly recommend the tour with Tara, a very kind and thoughtful person! — he is also an excellent photographer!

It was just me and my sister booked for the day, and Rama kept the booking and was super flexible with the agenda. Since it was just the two of us, he was able to customize the experience for us a bit - we asked a lot of questions, and it felt we stayed in each spot until we were “satisfied”. Rama was also very professional and knowledgeable, and also very friendly. It felt like we were walking around town with a friend.

Sovia was such an amazing tour guide and me and my friend thoroughly enjoyed her tour. She was super chatty and it was lovely to find out more about local life here. All the food stops she took us to were absolutely delicious and super affordable but not necessarily places we would have had the confidence to try on our own so it was so nice to have an expert guide. Would highly recommend this tour!

super fun tour!

The Tour was great! Totally recommend it! Tara is such a cool guy! He responded to all our questions & you learn so much about the city. We were really delighted! Without him our Stay in Yogya wouldn't have been so cool. If you want to get the most out of your time in Yogya book a tour with Tara. It will be worth it! Thank you again man :)!

Die Tour war super. Eveline hat sich Zeit genommen und alles gut erklärt. Kann diese Tour weiter empfehlen.

I really loved the tour! The guide was super friendly and her English was excellent. She told me a lot of information about the history and local customs. I was the only participant, which made it even better, as I felt like I was walking around with a friend.

A very nice tour exploring some of the street food delights available at night - was good to go with a local otherwise we would never of found the places we visited or dared to try the food.

Sovia was a lovely guide who made us feel comfortable and welcome on our first day in Yogyakarta. She was knowledgeable and she brought us to many yummy places to eat some authentic Indonesian street food. We learned so much with her, and the tour was well worth our time! Sovia is a very hospitable person and we greatly appreciated her guiding us through Malioboro Street and the square. I especially loved that we had the opportunity to listen to street music and dance to it!

Tarra was exceptionally knowledgable, open, full of life, took us to some really great locations and made our short time in Jogja so much fun! Tarra was really patient with explaining everything. We learned a lot, tasted some absolutely delicious food, laughed heaps and made a new friend in the process!! Absolutely 10/10 recommend this tour with the great Tarra - you won't be disappointed :-)

I enjoyed the tour and learned a lot. Our guide would benefit from reducing references to Burger King and KFC.

Sovi was amazing…so enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgable. We had amazing food that we would not otherwise of tried and learned so much about the city. Highly recommended! Thank you Sovi for the incredible tour…we loved ❤️ it!!!

Awesome tour, very informative and entertaining!

Great walking tour through Yogya with Rama who gave a lot of info and recommendations!

Tara was so sweet and fun, it was a private tour for just me and my friend and he showed us lots of nice places and told good stories. He could answer all our questions, even unrelated to the tour. We will keep in contact with him!

Puspa is a fantastic guide! She is very knowledgeable and gave me deep insights into the city’s culture and history. We saw so many interesting spots, and the food she picked out was superb. If you're looking for an authentic taste of Yogyakarta, this is the tour for you. 10/10!

It was lovely and perfect Thank you😊
