Gagat Handoyo is a local private tour guide in Indonesia

My name is Gagat, your local guide for a tour visiting Yogyakarta, Surakarta, and Semarang (for shore excursion), and of Central Java and other destinations in Indonesia.

I started working in thie tourism business as a tour staff at an agency in Jakarta. Following my passion, I became an Instructor of Tour Planning and Guiding, Airfares and Ticketing at a tourism vocational school in Jakarta. I was appointed as the head of the tour department. I also had the chance to develop and initiate the school's travel agency as one of their income resources.

I learned about multicultural evnironment when I was working as the HR Administration with a Non-Government Organisation from Canada. During this time, my passion for hospitality continued, as part of my job was to arrange regional meetings which includes cultural activities.

I am pretty sure that this background together with my passion will be a good advantage in helping you to prepare and execute your dreamed journeys. Whether it is a cultural or adventurous journey, educational or just relaxing trip, I will put my greatest effort to make it worth to be in your memorable trip albums.

Beside the passion of showing my beautiful people and country, I enjoy discussion with various topics where I might also share the secrets of the places of interest one might never heard before, making your trip will be more interesting as much as possible.

I like coffee in the afternoon, trains and planes spotting, reading some books and of course music (both listening and singing),

When it's time for you to travel to Yogyakarta and beyond, never hesitate to discuss your travel plan with me. I will ensure the best itinerary and delivery of your tour.

Live your dreams. . . one journey at a time
