Commonly, alun-alun in modern-day Indonesia refers only to the two large open squares of kraton palace compounds.

As a female traveling solo, first time in Indonesia, I was a little nervous about exploring Yogyakarta alone at night. Krisma was the perfect guide and companion for this night tour through Malioboro and various night market areas. She was the guardian with "magic hands" who got us across busy streets, the smart shopper who pointed out the best place to buy batiks, and a fearless co-explorer, curious, bold, and full of knowledge. I will remember not only the precise aroma of that blend of herbs in the crunchy peanut snack, but the conversations we had along the way about travels and cultures and the big wide world we are part of. Krisma reminds me of why we travel - to experience the world through others' eyes. I am so grateful for this experience with her.
We're truly grateful for your kind words and thrilled to have been part of your first solo journey in Indonesia. Krisma's dedication to ensuring your safety and enjoyment underscores our commitment to personalized and immersive travel experiences. Your appreciation for her guidance and the cultural exchange exemplifies the essence of travel. We eagerly await the opportunity to welcome you back for further exploration with Journeast Indonesia.
The guide was fabulous. Funny, smart and very well informed about Yogya. She was great to talk to, she shared her stories and I really enjoyed the time I spent with her. She even managed the challenge of me being a vegetarian without any fuss!
We're thrilled you enjoyed your tour with us! Krisma's wit, knowledge, and adaptability exemplify our commitment to exceptional service. We appreciate your positive feedback and look forward to welcoming you back for more memorable experiences.
Where can I start. Our guide Krisma was so friendly, funny and nice and took us all around the downtown area of Yogyakarta sampling all different sweets and was nice enough to help pick us out traditional betir attire. She went above and beyond and was very knowledgeable and was great spending time learning about the city and its rich history. 5/5!
