Hi there! Nice to meet you

Tini

"Borobudur and Prambanan temples are two most famous UNESCO sites in Indonesia built over 1200 years ago. As a moslem I am very proud of that monuments. Borobudur is a Buddhist temple and Prambanan is Hindu one. This is what makes Indonesia very colorful, high tolerant and we all live side by side in harmony. I love introducing Indonesia to travelers, especially about Java, specifically about the temples, the history and the locals.

Beside organizing tour to Borobudur and Prambanan I also do tailor made tour.

I will be more than happy to answer your inquiries about Indonesia."

We booked a trip to Borobudur and Prambanan with her. The communication before the trip was very clear and she helped us get the tickets to climb to the top. On the day she was on time and everything went smoothly. She added two small extra stops because of our interests and we also had a nice lunch. Tini has a vast amount of knowledge and we loved hearing all the stories. We can only recommend booking a tour with her.Do not hesitate, book her as your guide

Tini was very warm and knowledgable! Her understanding of the history of Prambanan and Borobudur, as well as her story telling skills are fantastic. My parents were so impressed with her knowledge and pronunciation of all the hindu and buddhist names as well as the back stories. Overall, we LOVED our day with Tini, highly recommend!Loved our day with Tini!

Tini wasn't available, and we knew this beforehand. Our guide was Bien. A super friendly man who told us all about the history of Indonesia and Yogyakarta on our way to Borobudur. After visiting Borobudur, we visited a few other places we wanted to see. This wasn't a problem at all, and Bien provided us with all sorts of information. It was a fantastic day!Great

We had a great day visiting Prambanan and Borobudur. Not the cheapest option, but you get good value for money. We were picked up at our hotel by the guide Bien and driver Ivan with a private minivan with airco. Ivan is a good driver and Bien the most gentle and calm guide. He had a answer to all our questions about the temples, the culture, religion, politics, food & drinks, volcano's... you name it. We visited Prambanan in the morning. When we left, we stopped at a cafe to have a cup of Loewak coffee and bought some coffee a gifts. After that, we drove in the direction of Borobudur and stopped just before to have lunch. It seemed as a big tourist thing, but the food was delicious and various. And not expensive for western standards. After that, we drove to the temple. Your tickets includes the entree fee, a ride back and forth with the electric bus, slippers to wear on the temple and an English speaking guide ( the temple does not allow other guides). Make sure to book a ticket to mount the temple. Ground tickets only allow you to walk around the temple. They dropped us of at the hotel. Exhausted but content.Great experience with Bien and Ivan

Tini is the best guide you can ask for. She has endless knowledge about everything and it was interesting and fun to listen to her. She brought us to all the best places at Prambanan and Borobodur and beyond knowing everything about those to sights she’s happy to answer every question about her country. And she’s hands on a very good photographer. We loved the day with Tini and can highly recommend her.This was amazing

We had a great day out with Tini and her driver, visiting Borobudur and Prambanan. Tini is engaging and fun, and had a wealth of knowledge to share with us. It really was invaluable having Tini guide us around for the day, explaining the history and significance of things - we would have had to have our nose in a guidebook to even scratch the surface otherwise. We cannot recommend Tini enough and if you're lucky enough to secure her, you'll have a memorable experience just as we have.Great day out with Tini

I had a wonderful day with Tini. Unfortunately my husband felt sick, so we dropped him off at the hotel again and I continued the tour alone. Tini knows a lot about the history and different religions. In fact, I found her additional detailed and little stories even better and more interesting than from the local guide at the Borobudur. During the tour we also chatted about current life in Yogya and even did some shopping on our way back, because it was raining. I also got some addresses from nice local restaurants near the hotel. I would 100% recommend Tini as a guide, Terimah kasih! Very Knowledgeable,Friendly,Accommodating

Such a great day with Tini and her driver. Tini made the day very special both in terms of sharing her extensive knowledge of the sites, and as well, helping us better understand life in Java and Yogyakarta specifically. Fun to be with, she also made an excellent selection for a local late lunch stop. On top of that she made sure our every needs were met - a stop at a beautiful batik shop? No problem. It was a full day indeed and the temples were made to come live by Tini's stories of tales they told or had been handed down generation to generation. This all within a context of a volcanic landscape that interwines with history. Thank you Tini.Tini rocks
