Description:

Enjoy a private, off-the-beaten-path tour and explore hidden gems in Yogyakarta. Wander around bustling markets, interesting museums, and enigmatic palaces, while you mingle among the locals and explore the city.

After convenient hotel pickup you're ready to tour Yogyakarta. Your first stop is at the Sono-Budoyo Museum. Explore its different exhibits and see wooden puppets, masks, statues, textiles, and old Javanese gamelan instruments. Listen as your guide explains the importance of these to the Javanese people, and how these precious instruments are handed down from generation to generation.

Next you visit the Sultan's Palace, considered a central part of Javanese cosmology and a great example of traditional architecture. Today this palace is the residence of the Sultan as well as a living museum where you can appreciate unique relics and live cultural performances.
