We did Kotagede with Huna and it was amazing! Because of low season it was like a private tour! She was very friendly and easy to chat with. We loved seeing this area of Yogyakarta and learning about the culture
I had an amazing tour of Kota Gede with Age and had the best time! He was soooo knowledgeable about everything, I learned so many things about Indonesia's history and culture. Furthermore, he is also pretty funny so his explanations never get boring :)) Visiting Kota Gede with Age made it one of the highlights of my stay in Yogyakarta
I highly recommended this tour operator and especially my tour guide Age. He explained a lot about the history of Indonesia and showed me the Makam Raja-Raja Mataram Kotagede. After that, we went to the oldest market, where I had a fantastic experience as I am a vegetarian and for me it's not so easy for me to try new local food. Thank you so much for that one. It was one of the best free walking tours in the whole world.
This was an AMAZING tour! Our guide Miss Huna knew everything about the sites, answered all my questions, and had great energy. The Kota Gede tour was so special and I loved every minute of it. Highly recommend!
The walking tour was extremely insightful and worth baring the heat for the knowledge and sights that were shown today. Huna was so lovely and shared a lot of background history about Kotagede and made the walk very enjoyable throughout.
