Yogyakarta: Selogriyo Rice Terraces Off The Beaten Track Trip

When I booked this trip I thought there would be a whole group of other people but luckily I was the only one with Yuni, the amazing guide that made the tour unforgettable!! Not only did he give me a ton of information during the tour but you could also see how much he likes his job and how good he does it! I can recommend it 10/10, also the fact that the tour was off the beaten track made it extra special to me. Didn't feel like the typical tourist way! Loved it! Thank you Yuni for the great experience!

Its a fantastic tour, the rice terraces beautiful and the sceneries (trees, insects, river, hill water flowing, etc.) worth-while trekking up all the way to the Selogriyo temple. The tour guide, Pak Imam Febrian very helpful and knowledgeable in explaining the history, guiding the tour and friendly.

Yuni was the best tour guide we could have wished for. He knew so much about the local plants and culture specifically because he grew up at a rice farm himself. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgable tour guide.

We had an incredible temple tour and rice terrace tour in Yogyakarta, and so much of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Yuni. From start to finish, Yuni truly went out of his way to share an authentic and exciting experience with us. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the culture and history, which made every stop feel meaningful rather than rushed. One of our highlights was the fun hike through the rice terraces. Yuni made it engaging and enjoyable, and we loved getting up close to the landscape and local life. His storytelling and insights brought everything to life and gave us a deeper appreciation for the area. We even made several stops on our way to and from our destination including a local batik and civet coffee shop. We enjoyed our time with Yuni so much that we didn’t hesitate to book another private tour with him the very next day to visit the Borobudur temples. We can’t recommend Yuni highly enough!

The trip was great! Out of the city and straight into the beautiful landscape. Yuni was the best guide, knew everything, was able to tell me a lot, and guided me very well through the rice fields. He is also an excellent photographer and took me to the best café in the middle of the rice fields. An absolute recommendation!
