Free walking tours in Yogyakarta

Puspa was very nice guide. Since I was the only one, tour was more like a private one. Puspa explained about the city, culture, and took me to many spots. Tour last almost 2.30 hours. Recommended for anyone visiting Jogya.

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 Yogyakarta, the geography, the people, the food, the history. Eveline was knowledgable, engaging and personable. Highly recommended

I thoroughly enjoyed my Yogyakarta evening walk with Eveline. I happened to be the only person on the tour so it was like a private tour. Eveline is originally from Yogya, so I learned a lot from her. We stopped at various local businesses to taste different foods which was a treat to my palette. Yogya is a special place, and its especially nice to experience it at night.

Very nice tour. Tried coffee with charcoal which was surprisingly good. Good time. Friendly atmosphere

Very good guide! Fun and useful information, very good English!

Es war so interessant. Wir haben die Tour nur zu zweit gemacht und konnten so ganz viel mit unserer Guide sprechen und sie hat uns so viel über die Gesellschaft, Kultur und Politik Javas erzählt! Danke für den tollen Abend ✨️

Eveline was an amazing guide! It ended up just being me and my friend on the tour so it was like a private tour which was cool! and we appreciate she didn’t cancel even with small numbers. we got to try lots of traditional javanese food and drink which was so cool! lots of information we wouldn’t know without doing the tour! thank you so much

It was good, you could do better next time

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.
