Hello and Good Day!
My name is Gagat, living in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. I have been guiding since 2009.
Since I was young, I have a great interest in hospitality industry. My experiences in this industry started with a post at a travel agency as their tour planner, then became an instructor at tourism school, guiding and leading a group tour.
I also had a blessing when I worked for an international organization, that was an eye-opener for me. From my interactions with colleagues from all over the world, I learned a lot. Not only developed my English, but also gain a better understanding about respect and commitment.
I like having ice coffee and chat over various topics. Above all, I love to share the beauty of my people and country with you.
Ah ya... I am a train and plane spotter. So, if during our journey, I automatically look up to the sky when I hear the roaring engines, or waiting at the train crossing excitedly, please forgive me for that :)
Let's live our dreams... one journey at a time
Unprofessional Guide. Guruwalk should radiate him from its portfolio. I do not understand how the portal is keeping him. It is ruining also the feedback of the guruwalk The tour was confirmed, I was at the meeting point 10 minutes earlier than the start. The guide did not show up and when I tried to text him in guru walk, I did not get a reply, neither in WhatsApp. Only when I tried to call him long in WhatsApp, he replied that he forgot to cancel the tour, because I was the only participant. Very unprofessional him and guru walk who is allowing this kind of behaviors. I finished another tour earlier, because I wanted join on time the guru walk tour, I had to drive 1h to the meeting point, and I could not join other tours in the evening, because it was too late the cancellation info. I do not reccomand this tour and this guide.
The tour with Greg was really enjoyable . Lots of information , mixed with humour and good energy ! We enjoyed tasting local foods along the way .
La verdad es que moló bastante. Nos llevó por la calle Maliboro, explicando su historia, su gastronomía y llevándonos por un ambiente muy guay. Lo disfrutamos mucho
I really enjoyed my tour with Gagat. It was great to learn more about the history of Indonesia and Yogyakarta. He also gave good local food recommendations which we tried the next day! Would definitely recommend this tour.
Wonderful guide, full of knowledge, thankyou!
