"I've known Darman for several years. As with everything he does, he puts his heart & soul into this walking tour & the result is a unique & beautiful take on the city of Malang—both its history & its present.

He has really taken the time to explore & know each area, sharing the stories of the locals while tying them in to themes of the city as a whole.

Although I lived in Malang for two years, I still learned a lot on this tour & definitely recommend it to everyone who really wants to get to know this city, whether they're staying for a few days or few years.

Thanks again, Darman, for the tour & I wish you much success!"

"This walking tour with Darman was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Indonesia! Exploring Malang on foot gave us a whole new perspective on the city – from its rich history and colonial architecture to beautiful colors and hidden alleyways full of charm.

Darman was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the stories and culture of Malang. We felt like we were walking around with a friend who truly loves their city.

This tour was the perfect mix of history, culture, and everyday local life. We left feeling inspired and full of appreciation for this beautiful city and its people. We would 100% recommend this to anyone visiting Malang – seriously don't miss it!

Thank you for an unforgettable experience!"
