Sovia was an absolute highlight of our time in Yogyakarta! She took us on an incredible journey that went far beyond the usual tourist path, immersing us deeply in the rich local traditions and, of course, the amazing culinary heritage of the city. Every stop on the tour was carefully chosen, offering a perfect blend of authentic flavors, fascinating cultural insights, and heartwarming stories. Sovia's warmth, deep knowledge, and genuine passion for her culture made us feel instantly welcome and completely cared for throughout the day. She has a true gift for sharing the soul of Yogyakarta in a way that feels personal, engaging, and unforgettable. If you want to experience the true essence of the city through its food and traditions, spending a day with Sovia is an absolute must. Thank you for such a wonderful and memorable experience—you truly are the best!

Putra war ein sehr freundlicher, zuvorkommender und authentischer Guide. Genau so war auch die Tour. Wir waren alleine mit ihm während der Tour. Er hat uns kulinarische Köstlichkeiten gezeigt und uns von der Geschichte Yogyakartas erzählt. Er hat uns all unsere Fragen beantwortet. Dauer, Inhalte, Strecke und allgemeiner Umfang der Tour waren genau richtig. Wir können die Tour wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

Sovia was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive throughout the entire tour. She did her absolute best to accommodate everyone’s needs and we spent hours walking around central Yogyakarta, which honestly felt like catching up with an old friend while she showed us around her city.. Her warm personality made the experience so enjoyable, and I learned so much about Yogyakarta, its culture, history, and gastronomy thanks to her. I couldn’t recommend her more! 😊

Eine wunderbare und sehr persönliche Walking Tour! Meine Tour mit Sovia war ein tolles Erlebnis. Besonders bemerkenswert fand ich, dass sie die Tour auch für mich alleine durchgeführt hat. Sovia ist unglaublich herzlich und sympathisch, und es war sehr angenehm, sich mit ihr zu unterhalten. Dank ihr habe ich authentisches Street Food probiert, das ich alleine sicher nicht entdeckt hätte: einen außergewöhnlichen Kohle-Kaffee, ein Gericht mit Kokossoße und leckere gefüllte Reiskekse Außerdem besuchten wir ein Batik-Museum und viele kleine, versteckte Orte rund um die Malioboro Street, die ich ohne sie niemals gefunden hätte. Sovias Englisch ist hervorragend und sehr gut verständlich. Besonders interessant waren auch unsere persönlichen Gespräche über ihren Beruf als Lehrerin, ihre Familie und das Leben in Indonesien. Eine herzliche, authentische Tour, die weit über eine gewöhnliche Stadtführung hinausgeht. Absolute Empfehlung und fünf Sterne für Sovia!

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!) 😅

We met Jennifer at the meeting point and started the tour. We visited really really good and unique places for food, where we never would've been going alone. Everything Jennifer suggested for food was really tasty! We got a real good impression about the streetfood-scene in Yogya and especially Malioboro Street. Above all, Jennifer was a really kind and nice person who was fun to chat with and share the evening together. Thank you very much, we had a really great time! Marie and Oliver
