We booked our guide Yula for 6 hours and it was worth every cent. Yula took the tour at the pace we needed and we had the most wonderful day. Yula is an excellent guide and was so knowledgable about Yogya. She is so open and friendly and we immediately felt at ease with her. I would highly recommend her. An amazing day in Yogya

We had a lovely time with Yula. She tailored the tour to our requirements and interests and was happy to let us get distracted with some shopping, hydrating etc. My husband misplaced his earphones and only realised it once he came back to Singapore and luckily for us Yula had mentioned coming to Singapore a few days later and she was SO helpful in bringing it back to Singapore!

We had a wonderful time exploring the city with Imam, who was kindly referred to us by Nasir. Imam shared fascinating stories about the city’s history, including its shared past with the Dutch, which added a special layer to the experience. Along the way, we also played a fun and engaging game to test whether we had pure hearts — and we passed! Now we’re hoping our wishes come true, just like Imam’s once did. A truly memorable and meaningful tour!Delicious tour through the city!

My boyfriend and I decided to contract this tour to learn a bit more about Indonesian gastronomy and Yogyakarta. We had never done any food tour, so we didn’t know what to expect, but the reality was way better than anything we could possibly imagine. Yulaikha is the best guide we could have had. She not only showed us a bit more of Indonesian gastronomy but also explained more about the city, the culture, and answered every single question we had regarding their way of life, beliefs, etc. I really, really recommend the experience, but I truly think that Yula was a game changer and made the experience even greater. Thanks, Yula, for your time and kindness! 10/10 experience

Yulaikha gave us an incredible tour of the street food stalls on Malioboro. She was delightful to chat with - my partner and I both learned so much about Javanese food and culture. She even taught us how to spot handmade batik fabric (vs. printed batik fabric)! Now we can choose our own street food more confidently and eat like locals. Thank you Yulaikha!Delicious food, fantastic chat

In addition to showing us the major sites in downtown Yogyakarta, Yula opened up easily, sharing her own life experiences. She’s an adventurous young woman with much wisdom. We learned about her education, opportunities for socioeconomic mobility, Muslim dating apps, the words recited during daily prayer times, and so much more. For a delightful afternoon choose Yula!Ask Yula anything!

The food tour with Yula was truly amazing! It was nice to be taken through the busy streets of Jogja and learn more about the city/history/culture and also the traditional food. It was lovely chatting to Yula and truly felt like meeting up with a long-term friend and going out for dinner. As tourists we hesitated to try to the street-food vendors because we didn't want to get sick so it was nice to try it this way and also not risk getting sick because Yula knows exactly where to go. Definitely a must-do activity if you're spending some time in Jogja! It was lovely from beginning to end!

We loved everything from the beginning to the end. Yulaikha told us about the history of Indonesia and walked us around very busy center of Yogyakarta. She treated us with food from warungs, small shops and restuarants. Savoury dishes, sweet treats and few really surprising local delicacies. Tour was not rushed and selection of things to try was really good. Best guide and food tour!

We zijn langs wel meer dan 10 streetfood stops gegaan, drankjes en hapjes, en alles was lokaal! Hee veel interessante en nieuwe dingen geprobeerd. Naast het eten wist ze ook veel te vertellen over de geschiedenis en de stad, wat een erg leuke toevoeging was! Zeker doen als je in Yogya bent!Fantastische ervaring

Get prepared to eat a lot of yummi, (overall) sweet and very well picked dishes with Yula! She is a wonderful person, who was very interested and well prepared at all times. She told us about Indonesian Independence and the history of Malioboro Street. Although the amount of food we could try was limited, she showed us a couple of additional places to eat 🤗 We're both good eaters and love to try new food. Therefore, Yula had the perfect tour designed for us (best combination of vegetarian and meat). The main point in choosing Yulas tour was the focus on food instead of silly tourist games - and we had SOOOO much🤣 At the end of the day we rolled into our grab and then directly into our beds😅 We're absolutely amazed and found a new friend in Yula 🤗Eating our way through Jogja

It has been a true pleasure being on the road with Yuni. An excellent, young, energetic, kind, humorous, sincere, and dedicated guide. He brought us joy & wisdom on Javanese culture & nature throughout. Our family connected with his enthusiasm and vibrant energy. Yuni brings plenty of good mood, interesting conversations and good food to the table! And despite the pouring rain he gave us a blast on his street food tour in Yogyakarta; exploring unique satay varieties, Yogyakarta's specialty coffee, Martabak Internasional's special and not to forget legendary lumpia!Javanese Tastings with Yuni

We got to try items we would never have had the courage to order ourselves - go on, it's great! - and to visit eateries as well as road-side stands.

She reviewed our interests and help draft itinerary that fits our constraints and priority. She goes beyond her call of duty to remind us what we should be prepared for ahead of the tour each day.

She patiently answered all our questions about Java, most of which had nothing to do with food. We visited local sites, rode a tuktuk, stuffed our selves with Indonesian food and had a lively walk down the main street. We recommend!Great experience

We've taken food tours in many of our travel destinations, and without a doubt, Yola has been the best guide we've ever had. She's exceptionally organised, insightful, and wonderfully flexible, tailoring the programme to our preferences. Yola even brought homemade treats for us to try and expertly navigated us through the bustling town during the Eid celebrations. She went above and beyond, waiting with us for over an hour after the tour concluded to ensure we secured a taxi back to our hotel. Thank you, Yola, for educating us about your city and Indonesian cuisine, and for making our first night in Yogyakarta a truly special and memorable experience. Best food tour ever

Our group spent two days in Yogyakarta with Yula doing an evening street food tour as well as a tour of the city. When we first met Yula she was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Our tours spent with her felt like meeting up with a friend in a new city and getting to see it through her eyes. During the food tour we were able to fully experience the sights and flavours of Yogyakarta in ways we would never have been able to on our own. Our group had 2 vegetarians which made it hard to know which foods were safe to eat and which contained meat. Yula was able to support us with our dietary restrictions and ensure we didn't miss out on anything. Yula's city tour took us to many places in Yogyakarta that weren't on our radar. She was very knowledgeable of the city and sights during the tour. And following the tour we were able to visit Yula's house and try batik. She made us feel so welcome in her home. We exceeded our allotted time for the tour, and Yula met up with us the next day to drop off our Batik. Our experience with Yula was exceptional and I am truly grateful for my time spent with her.

Incredible, once of a lifetime roadtrip across Java, be prepared for some amazing hikes through beautiful national parks, the itenary for all 3 days was well thought out and everything ran smoothly. I saw some stunning sunrises and blue flame lava, and had panoramic views of the volcanic landscape. Accomodation was clean and comfortable and the local guide at Mount ljen helped us avoid the crowds and provided a positive upbeat experience. My driver and guide Nasir Anang is a fountain of local knowledge and made me feel completly comfortable. He was warm, friendly and adapted the shecdule to my preference. He was able to answer all my questions about Indonesian culture and made great suggestions to try local food. I felt in safe hands and was able to relax and enjoy as he took care of all the tickets and accomodation bookings. It was like traveling with a dear friend and I hope to travel again with him in future. Although the price may seem high so much is included it's excellent valueUnforgettable experience in java
