My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide, like the others we have had whilst in Yogyakarta was first class. So very welcoming and friendly. He was very knowledgeable and explained the history and current status of the royal dynasty, palace (Keraton) and water castle (Tamin Sari) in such an interesting manner. The palace guide that took us thorough the actual palace grounds was brilliant and her explanation of the significances of the various parts of the palace provide an excellent perspective to what we were seeing. I can’t fault this tour and I give a very big thumbs up and thank you to our tour guide.
