¡Hola a todos! Soy Tara, de Magelang, ciudad vecina de Yogyakarta, muy cerca del famoso templo de Borobudur, así que nuestra cultura es bastante similar. Nací y crecí aquí, y ahora vivo en Yogyakarta desde hace casi tres años. Llevo un año y medio como guía turístico (y sigo sumando) y esta plataforma de tours es mi trabajo a tiempo parcial, además de mi rutina diaria como estudiante en el Instituto Aeroespacial :) Me encanta aprender cosas nuevas, el universo y el significado de la vida, aprender sobre diferentes culturas y perspectivas (¡y también sobre teorías de la conspiración! 👀). Conocer gente nueva también es una de mis cosas favoritas para poder compartir y conectar con ellos, especialmente si tienes curiosidad por la cultura javanesa. Sería muy interesante compartirla contigo y me encantaría hacerlo :D Cuéntame cualquier cosa que te interese y haré que tu experiencia de exploración cultural sea más como la de un amigo que como la de un guía turístico formal "de siempre" 🤓🌺 Te espero en mi ciudad, Yogyakarta.
Tara is such a nice and helpful person! He gave us lots of other recommendations as well!
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 🙌🏼
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!
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!
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 :)!
