  Tinton: A Passionate Guide who loves Indonesia, Travel, and Learning – I will preface this by saying that I usually do not write reviews. However, Tinton was such a great guide and a great person that I wanted to write… read more this about him.

Tinton is a storyteller. Not only is he knowledgeable about Yogyakarta and Indonesia as a whole, but he is passionate about history. We talked at length on my trip about the origin of coffee as well as the histories of some words and languages. We had good conversation through the day and he was exceptionally patient with me. Thanks to him I learned more about Indonesia as a whole from it’s time as a Dutch colony to how it is now. 

From the morning, he picked me up from the hostel I was staying in and immediately we began our travels to the tour sites. I also got to know him a bit more personally as I was the only one who booked for that particular tour day. Turns out, Tinton himself is a traveler and has seen chunks of the world on a budget. He is passionate about seeing the world and meeting people but also about Indonesian culture. If you want someone who really loves his culture – he’s the guide for you. 

He also went above and beyond for me by showing me things that I requested to see. Thanks to him I was able to try some great kopi luwak (luwak coffee) as well as meet a family of artists who did Indonesian batik for a living and had works of art in their own home that they produced. 

Tinton is an honest, down to earth, good human being who just so happens to give the utmost professionalism when it comes to giving visitors to Yogyakarta a great learning experience. 

At the end of the day, Tinton also went above and beyond for me and dropped me off at the airport. Not only had I met a great guide, but I had met a friend I could come visit when I come back to Indonesia. 

Thanks to Tinton, I was able to see a side of Indonesia that I would not have otherwise seen. I can gladly say that I love Indonesia and was so fortunate to have met Tinton and the people I met through him. To me that is a one of a kind experience, and I’m glad I scrolled down a bit further from the first results for tours of this area and booked with him.

If you’re a person who is seeking to learn more about Indonesian culture, its people, and its history, I say that Tinton is the proper guide for you.

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone thinking about it, this is the most comfortable and nicest way to go see the big sites in only a day.
