Are you visiting Yogyakarta and looking for more than a standard temple tour? I’m Muhammad, a local guide born and raised in Yogyakarta. My tours are designed for travelers who want to understand Java beyond photos through stories, daily life, and a relaxed pace that adapts to you, not a fixed schedule. Growing up in Java, I learned that travel is not about rushing from one place to another, but about understanding the meaning behind what we see. What Makes My Tours Different : Private and unhurried experiences Honest local perspectives, not scripted explanations Flexible itineraries so we can go deeper or slower when needed Clear planning, so you don’t worry about logistics or timing What You Can Experience With Me I guide travelers through Yogyakarta and Central Java, including Borobudur, Prambanan, local villages, countryside landscapes, and everyday cultural experiences. Whether you’re interested in history, photography, local food, or simply understanding how Javanese life works today, I’ll help shape a day that feels meaningful not rushed. My tours are best for travelers who value depth, flexibility, and cultural context. If you are looking to visit as many places as possible in a short time, my guiding style may not be the right fit and that’s okay. Feel free to message me with your travel dates, interests, or questions. I’m happy to help design a tour that fits your pace and expectations.

Hello travellers, My name is Dwi from Jakarta. I have been working as a tour guide for 8 years. I am license tour guide and have been trained by the Jakarta Tourism and Culture Office. I love traveling and really love to introduce Indonesia as my country through my job. Indonesia is really multi cultural, with coming people from different cities, those : ethnic groups, religions, and so on. Even though Indonesia people from a lot of different thing but we was bounced by one word, Bhineka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Different). Indonesia is the biggest moslem people but Indonesia is not religion. We live in a peace. More than 265 million people, 600 ethnic group, 400 ethnic language, 17000 islands and 120 volcanoes were in Indonesia. Hope we can talk later when you hire me. See you soon. I speak English fluently and Japanese sukoshi

“Excellent!”
I had an amazing trip around Jogja with Mas Tulus. He was attentive to my request & brought me to many interesting places. I managed to get my nice batik shirts. Thanks to Mas Tulus, he drove me to Batik Rumah Boutique. The educational tour at the Sultan palace was really an eye opener. I had the chance to taste Gudeg (local food) for lunch! Sedap banget! I look forward to get his service again for my future trip. Mas Tulus is friendly, knowledgeable & caring!
