Didot was a fantastic guide. He took us out on a long day to see Borobudur and Prambanan. He was extremely professional and highly charismatic. His english is impeccable and he taught us so much about the two temples, but also Indonesian culture and history. We would highly recommend Didot if you are looking for a guide in Yogyakarta. He was absolutely fantastic!
Excellent tour of the temples

I had an amazing day with Didot, he not only made everything easy, he took me to fantastic 'hidden' places that most people don't go to. Our lunch spot was amazing, his stories and history were so insightful and he was exactly why I like a With Locals guide. You cannot go wrong with Didot, you will have an amazing adventure . Highly, highly recommended!!!Amazing Temples Trip and Great Guide

Highly recommended for the ones who want to get full insights of Yogyakarta while exploring the city that is rich of culture and traditions. Mr. Didot is very friendly, helpful, and funny. Adding context and facts about the tour and interests beyond that. He also brought a lot of stuff (mosquito repellent, plastic to sit down without getting wet and dirty, cold mineral water, etc.) that we might need to ensure that we felt comfortable during the trip. Highly recommended

Didot was really an outstanding guide. There was no question that he could not answer, even the most esoteric ones. He explained things in a fun and engaging manner. And he is also a very good driver. It was a truly memorable experience. Outstanding and knowledgeable

Didot was a truly excellent guide — informative, thoughtful, and warm. We learned an enormous amount not just about the temples but about Yogyakarta and Indonesia. His driving was excellent and confidence inspiring (no small feat in this traffic), and he made sure we were comfortable and engaged all day. We had a lovely time and highly recommend working with Didot!A consummate guide and lovely human

We had a wonderful day with Didot visiting Borobudur and Prambanan. Didot gave great advice in advance of the tour, making sure we booked our tickets for the correct date and time. On the day of our tour, he was on time and smiling from the early morning. Didot is very knowledgeable about both temples as well as Indonesia as a whole. He speaks excellent English and tells very fun stories about his homeland. In hearing our interests in local foods, he took us on an unscheduled stop to his friend, a beekeeper where we got to learn about and taste the honey from his hives. We highly recommend a day in Yogya with Didot. Great day wit Didot

We are a family of four, with two teenagers. We booked Borobudur Temple and Prambanan Temple Day trip. Didot is a great guide. He grew up in Yogyakarta and knows very well all sites in the city and in its surroundings. He explains history, philosophy, arts and food. Didot has a degree in technology and you can discuss with him this topic, too. Our tour with Didot was over extremely fast. He’s a great host. Not only during the visit, but equally well before and after the tour. He provided tips about transport, restaurants and music. If we return to Yogyakarta, we’ll definitely ask Didot if he can be our guide again.Thank you Didot

I had an amazing day and a half with Nurul and Didot.
We had lunch in a secluded spot by the Sri Gethug cascade and headed to the beach afterwards. The place was really quiet and beautiful, and Didot and Nurul took care of everything: setting up the camp, cooking delicious food. After dinner, Didot played us some music under the stars and we spoke for hours. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
Thanks Nurul and Didot, all the best to you!Sri Gethug and Camping on a beach

The first day we got picked up early in the morning at 08.00. We stopped at the high school. That was really awesome! After that we went to the waterfalls, they were amazing!! After a good climb we managed to reach all the waterfalls. In the afternoon we went to the beach and in the car we exchanged some Dutch words. Do you guys still remember?
We really want to thank you guys a lot for this great experience. We really felt like locals for 2 days. We are really happy we decided to book this tour because it made us meeting 2 wonderful people!Sri Gethug Waterfall and Camp in a Beautiful Hidden Beach

Thank you for the great experience. We didn't feel like foreigners but really like locals for 2 days! The experience started by eating goatmeat as lunch, tasted great! Then a short hike to the waterfall, where we were climbing and playing like children! After that we went to the beach, enjoyed the view and the sunset. The chicken and the potatoes on the bbq were delicious! At 5am we hiled to the rocks to see the sunrise. Unless it was cloudy the sunrise was beautiful. We really enjoyed the experience with special thanks to Nurul and Didot. Stunning Borobudur Temple and Prambanan Temple Day trip

At noon Nurul and her husband Didot fetch us for a trip across the southern mountains of District Yogjakarta DIY. A winding road leads us through dormant villages and late afternoon we arrive at Pok Tunggal Beach.
After the tents are pitched at the campsite we start cooking for dinner.
Enjoying our meal by the dim light of lanterns old Javanese stories are told and finally we go to sleep.
At daybreak we start for a stroll along the cliffs where on top we watch sunrise having a hot coffee or tea to wash away the sleep in our eyes.
Breakfast on the beach…
As the Indian Ocean hides lots of local histories, amongst them the fairy of the ruthless Queen of the SouthSeas claiming human sacrifices, we do not dare to take a swim in the sea.
Next we continue our journey to Sri Gethug a wonderful gorge in the middle of Gunung Kidul.
On a selfmade raft we drift through the canyon to stop at a waterfall where cristal clear water, cools down our body and soul. The sound of purling water surrounds us. Some say in the distance one can hear the gamelanplayers strike the gongs. Giant lizards cross the river and birds sing endless songs, allas after a delicious lunch the voyage ends and Nurul & Didot bring us back home….

my friends and I were in Yogyakarta for two days and we decided to get a local guide for a tour. Never made a better choice!
Didot is the guide everyone would like to have: he speaks English really well (also the pronunciation), he's informed about everything, he's available and keen to respond to any given question.
100% recommended!best guided tour in Indonesia

Didot was our guide for a 3-day tour in Yogyakarta and was extremely kind and professional, he did a big difference in our visit to this beautiful city. Didot loves his job and put all his attention in all the details, from planning the tour schedule up to buying tickets and help his guests with all what they may need. If you want to have a clever and competent guide but also meet a nice human being during your visit to Yogy, Didot is your choice. Thanks for your patience and care Didot!!!An extraordinary guide and person

My family spent the day with Didot to explore the landscape of temples around Prambanan. Didot is a professional guide with deep knowledge of the region’s history and the religions associated with Borobudur and Prambanan. He was fun and energetic and loves to be with tourists, to learn from them and to tell them all he knows. We got so much out of our day with him. What I love about Didot is that he is excited about showing his guests places off the beaten track. We explored many small temples others tend to skip and in talking to Didot he loves to take people into the forest and on road trips. We had a lovely day and I’d recommend Didot for anyone wanting to explore the history of Jogja and anyone wanting to get out of the city and into the countryside.Explore with a fellow explorer

Wij hebben een zeer goede ervaring met Didot. Hij geeft veel informatie en vraagt naar je wensen. Zonder hem was onze beleving heel anders geweest. Door alle achtergrond informatie die we kregen leefde alle historie echt en snapten we waar we naar keken. Zeker aan te bevelen! Geweldige ervaring en veel kennis

Didot’s passion for his culture and country is overwhelming. He connected us to their roots, history, complexity and traditions and left a part of Indonesia with us. We had the chance to experience local cuisine, from breakfast till lunch. The organization of the entire trip and different visits was flawless, the explanations and story about the temples were clear, impeccable and super interesting and could not have asked for a better guide for our Yogyakarta trip. We found a friend in Didot and hopefully we will meet him again in our next journey to Indonesia.Perfect and amazing experience

My full day temple tour with Didot was awesome! He was kind, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, folklore, religion, and points of interest regarding the Indonesian people and was great at explaining it all in English. We were blessed with incredible weather and low crowds, but even if we hadn't been so lucky, Didot made sure we had great food, water, and his childhood friend Jovi, who was our driver, was always ready for us with the car and a smile! We learned a lot about Didot's family, visited a local market, ate at a lovely delicious restaurant, bought and drank delicious coffee, and saw many a temple, temple, temple! It was a day full of information, friendship, amazing food and architecture. Didot worked hard to explain all our potential itinerary options and tailored the day to suit our needs. He was a perfect guide and any traveler would be lucky to be in his company and see Indonesia through his eyes. Thanks for everything Didot!! A perfect day with Didot and Jovi!

If you are looking for a professional guide leading you around Yogyakarta, Didot is your man. Didot is super passionate about the history of Yogyakarta and keeps sharing great stories. His English is excellent and he always keeps you interested in learning new facts. We took our time at some spots which resulted in a delay of our schedule but this wasn't a problem at all. He all made it work out and we didn't need to miss anything.
I honestly expected that visiting Borobudur wasn't so interesting anymore because you cannot climb the temple walls. However, compared to my visit in 2014, where I could climb the temples and hired a "resident" guide showing me around, I preferred our tour with Didot. Even though we couldn't climb the temples, Didot explained so much about the history of Borobudur that I didn't feel we missed something. The tip of the iceberg was the hidden temple in Pramanan complex that was visited by very few people. When we arrived here at the end of the day around sunset, there was just one other group of 5 people strawling around.
Thank you so much for this wonderful day Didot. Me and my whole family absolutely loved it.Just fantastic

Didot is a great guide, very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Yogyakarta and just an all-around cool guy to hang out with. My wife and I booked a trip with him to explore Borobudur, Prambanan and Yogyakarta city and he helped us build out the itinerary, had great suggestions and was very accommodating of my greedy attempt to pack as much into the trip as possible :). His warmth and hospitality went so much beyond the typical guided tour experience and made us feel like we have made a new friend in Yogyakarta. Go with Didot if you are thinking of a visit to Jogja!Great experience!

We had a day trip getting around Yogyakarta to see mainly Borobudur and Prambanan.
Our guide Didot is very kind and gentle.
He has a lot of knowledge and made our trip fun with witty jokes.
Before hand, we communicated via wa. It’s also very smooth. Great English. Itinerary can be customized. He took us to a local market and restaurant we didn’t know.
Highly recommended.Great to know Yogyakarta with kind guide

We really enjoyed the tour with Didot. Not only did he know everything about the temples, sultan's palace, etc and answered all our questions as well. Didot is truly passionate about what he does and wants to share his Javanese/Jogja culture with travelers like us.
It's a very comprehensive tour which covers all the major sites in the Jogja area. Even though the program was packed, it didn't feel rushed or hectic.
In short, I wouldn't hesitate to book this tour if you're visiting. Don't hesitate to book this amazing tour!

He is professional, with deep knowledge, punctual, funny, with a great sense of humour, friendly and very very very smart!
To talk with him gives you a great and valuable eye on his wonderful country and made our last day in Indonesia truly memorable.
Nothing less than a full 10!

12 June 2022
Just book this tour would be my short advice. Do not let the early start scare you off, as it is so worth it.
Now the long version. The booking was already a good experience, as Didot was quick to answer and explain everything. We let him know the hotel and he picked us up.
We started at a local place to pick up breakfast, with so many choices. On the way to the sunrise Didot started explaining about the tempels, about the Indonesian culture and traditions. Amazing how much he knows and he tells all the information really well. Then to Borobudur, a Buddhist monestary (very peaceful!), lokal market visit, lunch, the water castle (with also the information about the underground mosk) and finally Prambanan, plus the grounds around it.
Never during the day did we feel rushed, he gave my husband all the time to take pictures. It is a packed programme, but even at the end Didot still was enthousiastic. I would not have wanted to miss anything from this day, all places are unique. But if you think it is too much, Didot will change the plans.
The only sad part is we did not get to meet Didots wife. Maybe next time! Terima kasih Didot - it was an amazing day.Incredible experience with amazing guide

I could not have imagined a better day than this thanks to the tour organized by Didot.
Thanks to him I was able to really enter the atmosphere of this wonderful country, visit the wonders of the temples, of the sunset from one of the most spectacular points of Indonesia, and of the most characteristic and less touristy places in Yogyakarta and its surroundings. He has always been available to fulfill every request and always ready to give you detailed explanations on the history, culture and curiosities even less known to most of the places visited.
The tour also includes tastings of the best local dishes, from breakfast to lunch. The program of the day follows the scheduled schedule unless you ask Didot to be able to customize it as you wish, in this case it will always be ready to make you happy.
The day in the company of Didot was really beautiful and friendly and I recommend anyone who is near Yogyakarta to book a tour with him in order to truly appreciate and get to know this wonderful culture.Could never expected a better tour than this

Didot is a perfect host. He is really passionate about giving his guests the best experience and introduction to Yogyakarta.
We had an amazing time with him in our trip to Merapi, Borobudur and Prambanam temple.
It is a long & tiring tour! But Didot made it so much fun and joyous. He was gracious in introducing the Javanese culture to us through local breakfasts, fruit market and also helped us plan our rest of the trip in Jogja.
More power to you Didot! The only way to start a trip to Jogja!

Visiting Borobudur and Prambanan with Nurul was an amazing experience! It was a really packed schedule, and unfortunately the clouds where so thick that we couldn't see Borobudur from the hill where we watched the sunrise, but otherwise the day couldn't have gone better. Nurul was really nice and super knowledgeable about the temples history. I was really entertained by her retelling of the myths illustrated on the walls, and she made me try amazing food at lunchtime and delicious fruits in the afternoon.
Thanks Nurul for a lovely day :)Borobudur Sunrise and Prambanan

We had such a great day with Nurul. It was a very early start but so, so worth it. Nurul took us to a local bakery and we picked out some delicious treats for breakfast.
The Borobudur sunrise was fantastic, we watched it inside the temple which we really enjoyed, despite a bit of a crowd.
By the time Nurul was showing us around the rest of the temple and telling us really interesting stories about Buddhism it had got really quiet lower down and felt like we had the place to ourselves.
We went around a another temple and to a market where we picked up some delicious fruit. Lunch was really delicious and vegetarian friendly for my husband.
We took bikes around Prambanan, I'm bad on bikes and was slightly terrified, but Nurul was very patient and didn't laugh at me!
The sunset at Prambanan was beautiful, We ate fruit while we watched it and chatted.
We only had one full day in Yogyakarta and we honestly couldn't have spent it in a better way. We got so much out of the day and learned and experienced so much more than we could have done if we had done it by ourselves. Nurul was so knowledgeable, friendly and patient and we enjoyed our day so much.
Yes, it's a long day. But it's so, so worth it and the memories will stay with us forever!
Just make sure you grab sleep in the van when you can! Just the best day

We find in Didot and Nurul two good friends who guided us in a really beautiful experience. They were very kind since the first minute we met them. We learned almost everything about Borobudur and Prambanan, but we also learned about budism, hinduism and history and traditions from Indonesia, specially from Yogyakarta.
We strongly recommend a tour with this lovely couple. We will forget this day.Maybe our best experience ever

We had a really good day with Didot & Nurul! We were blessed to meet this friendly and nice couple to be our guides! Everything was well organized and we had fun the whole day. Unfortunately it was too cloudy in the morning to see Borobudur at sunrise from the viewpoint, but we were lucky to see the clear sunset at Prambanan! If you want a nice day with a sweet couple to see both temples, book with Didot & Nurul! Amazing experience!

I had a great time with Didot yesterday. He was warm and friendly. I was impressed with his knowledge of the temples we visited (Plaosan, Sewu, Lumbung, Bubrah and Prambanan) as well as his understanding of the processes involved in the restoration work that is going on. I can’t recommend Didot’s services highly enough!

I booked a sunset tour of the Prambanan temple complex with Didot. He came to pick me up at my hotel on time and I immediately felt at ease with him. Not only is Didot an easygoing and friendly person, he is very knowledgeable and guides you through both the Sewu and Prambanan temple complexes telling you many tales from both Hinduism and Buddhism and explaining the intricacies of the connections between both religions. Didot is proud of the heritage on Central Java and his descriptions of the carvings at Prambanan, notably those depicting the epic Ramayana are so vivid that if you close your eyes you can almost imagine the story unfolding right in front of your eyes. The visit was truly special and I would highly recommend Didot to anyone visiting the area. Next time, I will make sure I also choose Didot to visit Borobudur!The best guide in town!
