 Verified amazing way to explore Jogja
it was an amazing experience, i was the only one that register for this tour but it still went on, so it felt like like a private tour. we explored part of jogjakarta that is truly hidden such as kampung kauman and sungai code, because when we were there, it was just us and the locals. The tour captain, Alfat, was also very knowledgable about the historical and cultural part of the places that we visited. definitely recommended.
