- throwaway_mx0 contributionsGreat biking tour in Yogyakarta to see local produce and get to know the (background of the) city!We did a really nice biking tour of around 2 hours. The tour was on smaller roads so it was very calm and easy to bike. First, we got a bit of background on Yogyakarta and the temples, then the biking tour started. We got a bottle of water to take along; the bottles were already in our baskets on the bike. We stopped on the outskirts of the temple, where we got an explanation of that specific temple. Then we continued on to a local home where they make chips out of some kind of nut; we got to see the process and even make some ourselves. Afterwards we went to a tofu makery; again a local product. We saw the entire process of making tofu and got to taste some. Then we stopped at a local beekeeper; we saw some bees and got to taste their delicious honey. All in all; great tour, lovely explanations, local produce, and a chance to buy products locally. Our guide was great!Written 14 November 2024
- 270ditaa0 contributionsLovely Experience! Recommended and would definitely do it again in the future!!The views are amazing! The routes are breath taking! The guide (Mas Bagus) is one of a super photographer i ever met!! If you're looking for a different experience in exploring around Yogya, this one is definitely not to be missed.

- 978lukaw0 contributionsExploring the rural side of YogyakartaI’m travelling solo and went on a bicycle tour with Alga. I was paired with two other women so the group was small which is nice for questions and interaction. We explored the outskirts of Yogyakarta, around the Prambanan tempe. The tour was very interesting and insightful as we were shown a side of Java you don’t usually explore on your own. All the people we met along the were super kind. The beekeeper, tofu makers, emping makers and so on. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in local, authentic culture. Alga is a great tour guide who speaks English very well.Written 11 November 2024

It is a great experience! You can feel like Picasso and learn a lot about javanese art! People are very nice and hospitable. It is located in a nice and calm neighborhood. During your experience you have time for a chat with local people, coffee and visit a temple nearby ☺️

My class was a great experience of learning how to make a Batik painting.
The tour offered to pick me up from the train station or bus terminal to save me time to get there. There was then a good explanation on how the process worked and I was given a chance to test my skills before doing my actual painting.
There were multiple designs they offered me but if you are more creative you can do your own.
I kept getting assistance to make sure my painting was ready to colour. There are a few colours you can use but you can make them lighter by adding water.
Once everything was done, I went to a small temple across the road to look around at whilst my painting was drying.
My guide also was great in taking photos and videos of me during different stages of the process.
I felt that this was an amazing cultural experience and it is better to go to Prambanan for this class, not the temples.
Terima kasih banyak!

What it's special about this class is that you learn every step of the batik making process in great detail; both Alga and the owners are very knowledgeable and passionate about the art of Batik and you can feel it throughout this experience.
Titik it's such a positive energy pill! Haha her friendliness, patience and continuous encouragement radiate and boost everyone's motivation and focus.
And also nice tea/coffee chit-chat with tasty snacks!
Terima kasih banyak 🙏😄

It was a lovely experience. We enjoyed ourselves drawing out our pictures and then waxing before colouring. The teacher was so helpful and pleasant. While our batiks were drying we saw the nearby Buddhist temple with our English speaking guide. Thoroughly recommend this.

Bu Titik is an expert in batik, she is full of energy and smile, she teaches patiently and showers me with encouragement. She knows what she is doing, and doing it with passion. The area is in the village near Prambanan, very quiet and peaceful. Recommended experience if you visit Jogjakarta.

I had a wonderful saturday morning/afternoon with this Batik workshop. Mas Alfa, Mas Bagus and IbuTitip did everything they could to receive me with open arms. Alfa picked me up from the trainstation and Bagus and Titip guided me (with delicious snacks and cold drinks) through the creative process. Since I was the only one, I could take all the time I wanted for my creation, I loved it so much! In the drying break they borrowed me a bike, so I could bike to the nearby Temple, which was a beautiful add on. After finishing my batik piece, Bagus even brought me to an event close to the Prambanan, so I could see some traditional dancing. All in all, I had a lovely creative day, and would recommend this workshop to everyone!

It was an eye-opening experience learning about the different types of batik prints and the process of batik making. Painting my own batik piece from scratch was surprisingly challenging yet incredibly therapeutic. I've truly developed a newfound respect for batik professionals and their dedication to the craft!

Despite arriving half an hour late, due to transport difficulties, Batus welcomed us and kindly made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Batus is a very patient teacher, and trying our hand at Batik Making was an interesting and really lovely experience. A quiet, thoughtful, and creative activity away from the hubbub of the city for 3 hours. Restorative.

We had great time learning how to prepare batik. I would say it's a must if you happen to be in Yogya! Our children loved the whole process, especially the coloring :) We were taught by a local batik artist with huge experience, it was a real honor. There is also a gallery where you can admire different batik fabrics made by women from the region, as the organizer is involved in women's empowerment movement.
When the fabric was drying, we were taken to see the nearby temple - very old and beautiful. Our host showed us around and aswered all the questions.
Highly recommended!

The class was lovely, they provided tea and snacks and were patient with me. Batik is more complex than I thought and they did a good job balancing teaching me the steps, being patient/kind and stepping in to help to ensure my designs came out nicely.i would go back if I had more time. The place was really like a home in a village with an art gallery of beautiful batik fabrics. For the class it was just me, the lady who owns the business and a translator/guide. Everyone was nice. The translator/guide knew it was my last day and took me to temples while the piece dried and gave a decent lesson. The temple he showed me had a beautiful history and because it wasn't borubudur or prambanan it was mostly empty. it was a perfect relaxed activity for a last day. It did go over the time so I would not plan something immediately after.
