Perfect tour of local villages and handicrafts to complete the Borobudur temple visit - I had an amazing time exploring the villages around the Borobudur temple which I had visited in the morning. Nuri picked me up from the exit after I was done with my visit and took me to discover the area on the back of his motorbike. He drove very carefully, making it a super pleasant experience. We visited a Tofu making atelier, a pottery and Batik atelier. Nuri speaks very good English and took the time to explain everything and made me at ease to take my time to discover. It was fantastic to see the local processes. At the end we had lunch together in a local place and he helped me get a car back to Yogyakarta. This tour is the perfect combination after a visit to Borobudur - and while you discover the local area you also contribute to the local community since this is a locally run agency.

Experience in immersion in crafts I had with an exceptional Guide! - Exceptional experience in immersion in Javanese culture and crafts. Starting from the guest house Lotus 2, Nuri will guide you to three workshops typical of his Borobudur region. We were alone with Nuri, we were able to discuss the local culture and our cultural differences. We left very happy with this beautiful meeting with Nuri and this experience.

Authentic Tour - Tour absolutely recommended, very authentic and different from the usual tourist traps. Nuri is a fabulous Guide. During the tour I could see the preparation of tofu, make a clay bowl and do a small batik workshop, super! The people I met were all very kind. Plus Nuri is a great photographer :) Super recommended!

Borobudur beyond the temple - We highly recommend this tour, which will let you discover the outskirts of Borobudur which hide various little villages each with their very own tradition: batik, pottery, artisanal tofu and artisanal rice snacks. You will also be able to get your hands dirty in various workshops! Our guide was young, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, explaining us every thing and more. He even took beautiful pictures and videos of us during the workshops. Don’t come to Borobudur just for the temple but also discover what’s beyond it with this wonderful tour!

A great flexible team to shape the experience around your wish - Nuri, the guide who took care of me was so kind and helpful. He was adjusting to my pace, my needs . He also took the time to share a lot about the life around Borobudur. They even organised a special offering to hike Merbabu Mountain for me. I highly recommend them !

Really great afternoon with a wonderful guide. - Nuri is a fantastic guide. So kind, clear and unhurried. He told us all about the places we visited but also lots more about living in Indonesia. He speaks excellent English. The tour is lovely. The people at the industries we visited were highly skilled, warm and welcoming. Great to have a go with such patient tuition. Great afternoon!

Brilliant Tour of Local Industries - Our local guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had an amazing tour through the villages, and were able to try everything - from sampling tofu and coffee to painting traditional batik and spinning pottery bowls! A highlight of our trip, the hosts, teachers and our guide were brilliant, would highly recommend.

Fantastic Tour - Easily one of the best experiences I’ve had in Indonesia. Nuri is a great guide and is fun to talk to. Every stop is engaging and enjoyable - I particularly liked the Batik workshop. The drive between each location is beautiful passing through rice fields, papaya and cassava with views into the mountains. Would highly recommend.
