La nostra guida Wenda è stata eccezionale. È stato affascinante scoprire tante curiosità su Yogyakarta, dalla realizzazione del Batik agli assaggi del jamu, fino alla visita del Palazzo del Sultano e del Taman Sari. Un tour molto interessante, Wenda è stata chiarissima e parlava un ottimo inglese. Assolutamente consigliato!

Surya offered a wonderful tour about the mataram heritage and kotogede neighborhood. He's a professional guide and shared his knowledge with much generosity and dynamics. Being with him really made the différence on getting a bit of the soul and history of the places instead of just sightseeing. We shared nice pastries and drinks on the way while discovering the area and i had a really nice and friendly moment during this tour. Thank you again Surya! I could only strongly recommend to follow your tour as the pace was perfect and the balance between history and culture was perfect . (To confess, i am usually not a fan of walking tours but you reconciled me with them!) 😅

I had a great time with Tara on this tour. He knows his city and it's history, with lots of details. It was interesting, entertaining and fun to listen to him. A must-do when visiting Yogjakarta ! Karin

La visita è stata molto interessante. La guida TARA è stato veramente meravigliosa. Ci ha raccontato un sacco di aneddoti e informazioni sulla città e sulla sua storia. Ci fatto assaggiare dei dolci molto buoni e ci ha accompagnato nella visita dei palazzi. Parla molto bene l'inglese ed è anche molto interessanto a noi. Se dovete fare un tour a Yogyakarta scegliete TARA, è il TOP

This was a really illuminating tour. It was only 1-1/2 hours, but wow did he fit a lot into those 90 minutes. I really feel like I understand the history of this city and Java in a way that I probably wouldn't get from a walking tour that focused on the usual touristic sights of the city. Suryawan was so knowledgable and answered my questions easily, which it really valuable. It wasn't just a script with him; he really knew his city and his country. I also have to give him credit for following through on the tour after the only other attendee canceled. It's a lot of time to give to just one person, but he happily led me around solo. Much appreciated :)

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!

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!

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 :)!

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 fantastic tour that took us through the history of the area, including some Hindu sites and some of the old kota buildings and traditions and food. It was just extremely interesting and well worth doing.

The quality of information he provided not just about Mataram kingdom and royals, but also Javanese culture & hostory from a different era is superb. He's also very joyful and pleasant person. Overall, it improves my stay here in Jogja
