Hello, my name is Hasyim, and I am a local tour guide from the village of Tamansari, Indonesia. I organize private tours throughout East Java, offering authentic and personalized experiences. I speak Indonesian and English, and I am currently learning French. Born and raised at the foot of Mount Ijen, I know the volcano and its trails intimately. I enjoy giving visitors a genuine insight into the daily life, culture, and traditions of our local community. I strongly believe in sustainable, community-based tourism. My goal is to help you discover not only the famous highlights but also the hidden gems that make East Java so special. If you’re planning a trip to Indonesia, feel free to contact me by email or WhatsApp, and together we’ll create the perfect itinerary for your adventure.
