    Awesome tour
    Awesome tour, very well organised by Anisa who was a great guide. We tried the following delicious local foods, all at authentic local shops and restaurants that we would not have known to try if not for Anisa's guidance: lupis, wedang tahu, cakwe, gudeg, lumpia (and other jajanan pasar), soto ayam, and kopi joss. And also enjoyed a nice little becak ride along the way. Definitely recommend

    Phenomenal Food Tour with Kalika – A Must-Do in Yogyakarta!
    I had an incredible time on the morning food tour with Kalika! She took me to so many hidden gems that I never would have found on my own. The food was absolutely amazing, and Kalika provided interesting historical context along the way, which made the experience even richer. Kalika is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also a huge foodie herself. She took me to authentic, traditional places that only locals know about, which made the tour feel extra special. I also really appreciated her high hygiene standards and her thoughtfulness in finding foods that matched my tastes. If you’re in Yogyakarta, this tour is an absolute must. Highly recommend it!

    I had a wonderful tour with Anisa. She is an excellent guide who explained the history behind the food and even added a few extra extra foods at the market that I hadn't tried before. I highly recommend this tour company.

    Early Bird Delicacies: Exploring Yogyakarta’s Vibrant Food Scene.
    We had our tour with Anisa and met at our first food stop at 7:30 am. ☀️ Here, as well as at every other stop, she explained how the different dishes you’re about to try came to be, all the ingredients they are made with, and how the Yogyanese enjoy them.🫚🍋‍🟩 After trying the food, you immediately understand why it’s so popular among Yogyakarta’s locals, and soon it’s really hard for you to pick your favorite dish. We enjoyed the whole experience so much that we even forgot to take pictures, but Anisa did for us. 😄 You may think it’s too early in the morning, but it’s definitely worth it because you get to experience the colorful and rich markets of Yogya like a true local. 🫔🍢🥥🥭🌶️🍋 You definitely have to come hungry to be able to enjoy EVERYTHING to the fullest! 😋

    Excellent food tour!
    I really enjoyed the morning food tour with Kalika. She was very generous, took time to explain every snack or meal I tasted. The visit to the market was interesting and I got to taste fruits and snacks. She also helped me buy salak. Kalika shared cultural informations about Java and took time to share stories about each other’s countries. Highly recommended!

    A fantastic experience in Yogya
    If you like trying out local food and you are curious about Jogjas Street Food, you should definitely book this tour! Vertical tours is a small, local company owned by young and enthusiastic people. In a few hours I learned so much about Yogyakartas most important (& most delicious) dishes. I got a taste from everything: from coffee to fruits to snacks, desserts and savoury dishes. We visited the market, street food stalls as well as a small restaurant. A great combination of food, culture and sightseeing. the Tour is absolutely worth getting up a bit earlier and it was one of the most fun and delicious Food Tours I ever did.

    Interesting foods, friendly guide, worth it
    Great tour! Anisa took us to several different places, each one with a unique item(s) to try. We had snacks, entrees, fruits, drinks...basically a whole selection! We did not have any dietary restrictions, but they can accommodate different restrictions you may have. Also there were no extra hidden fees once the tour began. During our specific tour it began raining and we were able to sit and chat with Anisa about life in Yogyakarta, the local cultures, and she was even able to give us some advice for our future travels around Indonesia. She was very friendly and eager to chat. Quick tip, the tour does not end where it begins, so make sure you take plenty of photos as you go along.

    Filling, fun and a great snapshot into life .
    Firstly, Anisa my guide was excellent. Not only did I have the opportunity to try a wide variety of breakfast foods, but I really got the chance to talk to her about her plans, life in Indonesia and challenges. It was more than a good tour and she was knowledgable about the food and history behind it. Come hungry, go home with a happy belly!

This food tour was a highlight of our entire trip through Indonesia! Our group of 7 loved all three hours of the tour: we got to walk through the busy Jalan Malioboro street and experience all the local action. All seven food and drink stops were great insights to the local food (and very tasty too!). Our guide, Anisa, was not just knowledgeable about food, the history of the city, and the culture, she was a lot of fun and made everything interesting! She was happy to answer all our questions and even followed up the next day to provide additional answers. There was more than enough food at each stop (we were stuffed by the end). And the rides and games at the end were a great way to wrap up the tour. Highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Yogyakarta - it's the perfect way to discover the city!

This is a brilliant introduction to street life and culture across this historical city. The very visually interesting food and drink experiences are plentiful and generous with fascinating histories , and guide Anisa is great company and has in depth knowledge both of the food traditions and the history of Yogya and you cover quite a lot of the city centre too . travelling by food and becak and spending time in the Palace area. I went on a busy Saturday night and wonderful to see how lively and popular Yogya is with younger visitors at the. weekend.

Fantastic walking tour to approach Yogyakarta's iconic sites. Kalika, our guide, is a wonderful girl, speaks perfect English and is very knowledgeable. The tour is structured with a visit to the main sights and several stops to sample local dishes. Kalika made sure that everything was perfect and was fantastic in her choice of dishes for us and the timing. We also discovered a traditional game and experienced a typical Indonesian evening.
I recommend anyone spending a few days in Yogyakarta to take this tour to learn more about the city, the typical dishes and the history!

Not worth the money. We were brought to several popular places but since the tastings for the group of 8 weren’t planned ahead of time, the line was too long (an hour wait) so we skipped it and went to other stalls that there was literally no one at. Compared to the wonderful dinner we had the previous night, there was very little exciting about the food provided on this tour and not a good value. Our bill at the restaurant the previous night was $5 per person, as opposed to $40 each for this tour. Information about Joyga was provided by our kind host, but often the surrounds were too noisy to clearly hear the stories and she didn’t have a strong voice. Wouldn’t “recommend” this tour to a friend.

I did this food tour with my friend and would highly recommend! Our tour guide Kalika was really informative and took us to a lot of different places. The tour went by so quickly and we learned a lot about the food we were trying and about yogyakarta.
Kalika was great for advice about the city and she was happy to help with any questions we had.

We had such a great experience with Kalika. She introduced us to Indonesian food and drinks and explained everything in great detail. She also took extremely good care of our western tummies and watched out that everything was hygienic and safe for us to consume. We couldn't have explored Indonesian street food without her. Amazing experience. Thank you and all the best Kalika.

We were on a food tour with VertikalTours and we liked it a lot. We didn’t visit as many places as we are used to with other food tours, and the meals /snacks were a bit bigger for each round, but the different meals were diverse and nice to try. The guide was very friendly, easy to talk to, we could ask anything in an informal setting. We also had a very nice group, with a Spanish couple, which made the atmosphere very nice. We were driven around in Indonesian Tuk Tuks and that was a very easy and nice way to move around. All in all, I would say good value for money and definitely worthwhile to book while you are staying in Yogyakarta. Maybe a suggestion to also offer some local desserts (as there are many to choose from) for even more diversity.

This was one of the best experiences in Yogyakarta. Kalika is a fantastic tour guide, showed us around her city with lots of passion and taught us about Indonesian dishes that without her guide would have been impossible to discover. The city is quite vibrant at night and with the tour you’re able to go to local places. A highlight is the jamu preparation. Thanks a lot!

This was a fantastic food tour! We stopped in many different places around the city to taste some tasty local food that you wouldn't get to try without help from a local. Kalika the guide was excellent, she has perfect English and explained everything we ate. She also gave us an insight into the history and local culture of Yogyakarta. The tour also is definitely suitable for people for have specific dietary requirements too, Kalika text me in advance to make sure that I would be able to have something vegetarian at each stop. She also called ahead to one of the restaurants to make sure the noodles were made without chicken and in a veggie broth. I really appreciated this! I Would definitely recommend this tour - a must do if you're coming to Yogyakarta!
