  Yogyakarta temples – Tinton was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Yogyakarta. The temples were amazing. We had a great day.

  Tinton: A Passionate Guide who loves Indonesia, Travel, and Learning – I will preface this by saying that I usually do not write reviews. However, Tinton was such a great guide and a great person that I wanted to write… read more this about him.

Tinton is a storyteller. Not only is he knowledgeable about Yogyakarta and Indonesia as a whole, but he is passionate about history. We talked at length on my trip about the origin of coffee as well as the histories of some words and languages. We had good conversation through the day and he was exceptionally patient with me. Thanks to him I learned more about Indonesia as a whole from it’s time as a Dutch colony to how it is now.

From the morning, he picked me up from the hostel I was staying in and immediately we began our travels to the tour sites. I also got to know him a bit more personally as I was the only one who booked for that particular tour day. Turns out, Tinton himself is a traveler and has seen chunks of the world on a budget. He is passionate about seeing the world and meeting people but also about Indonesian culture. If you want someone who really loves his culture – he’s the guide for you.

He also went above and beyond for me by showing me things that I requested to see. Thanks to him I was able to try some great kopi luwak (luwak coffee) as well as meet a family of artists who did Indonesian batik for a living and had works of art in their own home that they produced.

Tinton is an honest, down to earth, good human being who just so happens to give the utmost professionalism when it comes to giving visitors to Yogyakarta a great learning experience.

At the end of the day, Tinton also went above and beyond for me and dropped me off at the airport. Not only had I met a great guide, but I had met a friend I could come visit when I come back to Indonesia.

Thanks to Tinton, I was able to see a side of Indonesia that I would not have otherwise seen. I can gladly say that I love Indonesia and was so fortunate to have met Tinton and the people I met through him. To me that is a one of a kind experience, and I’m glad I scrolled down a bit further from the first results for tours of this area and booked with him.

If you’re a person who is seeking to learn more about Indonesian culture, its people, and its history, I say that Tinton is the proper guide for you.

  We had an amazing trip and even got to climb Borobodur on a guided tour. Furthermore we also got a guided off-road jeep tour to 3 points of the volcano… read more and afterwards we got let in on our own to explore Prambanan. The tour includes all of this plus a personal driver that drives you to the different points an makes sure you get on the different 3 tours (which is of course included). The driver had a nice air conditioned SUV and spoke very good english and was good at explaining the history of the different places we went to. Overall it was an amazing and exciting trip and the money/value is incredible considering its a 10-12 hour trip with all included.
