Hi! Yohana's here, but I simply go by "Yo". There are three things I love the most : language, literature and music. These are what have shaped me into what I am today. You might find me as a cheerful person with a lot of philosophical thoughts. What a strange combination, eh? But that's what I am. I'm so into meeting new people and making friends with them. I've met countless people from abroad and made friends with them by working as an international language tutor. Some of my students have come to my place and I've given them some private tours. I've started doing it back in 2018. But I have to say that my favorite tours with them are the fun ones like going to the nature. The city where I live, Semarang, has hidden gems to offer, such as historical and artsy places, street food at Chinatown nightmarket, as well as a mountain and hills to hike or just to enjoy beautiful sceneries from! Most travelers love the last two, though. So, I hope I can take you around this beautiful city when you book my tours, as it offers amazing experiences! Nonetheless, you are very welcome to request your own tour and I'll do my best to cater to your need or interests! I'm open to discussion. Looking forward to meeting you and having fun together! I've been working as a private tour guide for more than 5 years - I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments. A local guide will do the job. - I am not a driver, but I will hire a driver and can accompany you in the vehicle.

Overview of your Semarang tour

On this tour, you'll visit one unique architecture and two historical places in Semarang. 1. Sam Poo Kong The oldest Chinese temple in Semarang in the early 15th century, consisting of four temples that exhibit a unique blend of traditional Chinese and Javanese architecture. 2. Lawang Sewu The name translates as "A Thousand Doors", but it's only because of the massive, three-story structure lined with numerous doors and windows that resemble doors. This big, beautiful yet sad building that stands out in the area was built and used by the Dutch, then used as the Japanese Military Headquarters, and now is owned by the Indonesian Railway Office. 3. Old Town Earlier known as the Oudstad or Old Town in Dutch, it is located near the harbor where 18th-century buildings have been well preserved with many still in use to this day. There are more hidden stories behind those places you can find out while you're here.
