Welcome to the cultural heart and soul of steamy Java - the city of Yogyakarta. In this artistic community, traditional Javanese art and language still flourish, surrounded by the bustle of a modern Asian city. Take a private Yogyakarta tour with a local guide to explore the city's religious and cultural highlights, as well as the surrounding natural and archaeological wonders.

Start your day sampling the exotic fruits and spices on display at Yogya's Main Market - and perhaps picking up some of the beautiful batik art; your guide will help you bargain like a local.

You must visit the colossal Buddhist temple of Borobudur. An easy daytrip from the city, this ancient stone complex is one of South East Asia's truly spectacular sights. Also nearby is one of the world's most active and spectacular volcanoes - Merapi. In the evening, or on a cloudy day, you can see the glow of the lava flows even from a great distance.

Being a guide in Yogyakarta, hosting over time a number of families with children, I've learned that children might get bored during a tour. Because of this, we need to arrange an active learning process for them in a more fun way.

This is my offer so that families can actively learn about the richness of Javanese history, culture, and nature.

But, of course, it could be for just adults because "there's a part of you that always remains a child, no matter how mature you get, how sophisticated or weary" - well said by Barbra Streisand!

If you travel with me, you will get the access to the top of the temple as we go through the premium entrance.  The number of access is limited by quota per day. I will purchase the tickets once you confirm the tour, the tickets are non-refundable. The access to the temple structure is closed on Mondays
