Gagat Handoyo is a local private tour guide in Indonesia

My name is Gagat, and I am your local guide for tours of Yogyakarta, Surakarta, Semarang (for shore excursions), Central Java, and other destinations in Indonesia.

I started working in the tourism business as a tour staff member 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 opportunity to develop and initiate the school's travel agency as one of its revenue streams.

I learned about multicultural environments while working in HR Administration with a Non-Government Organisation in Canada. During this time, my passion for hospitality continued, and as part of my job, I was responsible for arranging regional meetings and cultural activities.

I am reasonably sure that this background and my passion will be a significant advantage in helping you prepare and execute your dream journeys. Whether it's a cultural or adventurous journey, educational or just a relaxing trip, I will put my best effort into making it worth being included in your memorable trip albums.

Besides my passion for showcasing my beautiful people and country, I enjoy discussing various topics where I can share the secrets of places of interest that one might never have heard before, making your trip as enjoyable as possible.

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

When you travel to Yogyakarta and beyond, please don't hesitate to discuss your plans with me. I will ensure the delivery of the best itinerary and tour.

Live your dreams... one journey at a time.
