Yogyakarta's Living Heart: A Night Walk Through Myths, Lights & Street Food
Hello, I'm Ainun! As a seasoned traveler who has explored many countries, I've proudly called Yogyakarta my home for over 10 years. I believe the best way to know a city is through its people, culture, and amazing food. On my tour, I’ll guide you beyond the usual sights to help you experience the true values and hidden gems of Jogja, just like a local.

We will meet right in front of Malioboro Prime Hotel Yogyakarta. It's a prominent hotel and very easy to find. Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/drMoopbwdbpeLs246 How to find me: I will be wearing a traditional Javanese batik shirt and holding a small "GuruWalk" sign.

From the sizzle of street food to the silent majesty of the Sultan's square, you'll see, taste, and feel what makes Jogja truly special after dark.
