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
Great guide that knows a lot about the city and the area we walked in - he grew up here. It was a very nice walk even if it was on a very crowded day but he made it work.
Totally recommend Gagat's walking tour! The perfect way to get more information about Yogyakarta's present and past, and try some nice and local street food (also vegetarian friendly!) We really appreciated it!
Would really recommend you taking tour as part of your trip to Yogycarter. It is a great way to understand the centre of the town, the people, food and way of life. Gagat is a great guide, very chilled and friendly.
Walk with Gagat was very nice and really insightfull. He was very knowledgable, honest, caring and fun. On the top of quality info and answer to any of our questions he also introduce us many delicious food samples that we would not know about without him. We definitely recommend this walk if you are in YogYakarta
