It was a fascinating day. It began with the batik workshop. I found that I was the only person doing batik that morning and that made it even better, I think, because several of the people working inside the workshop came to offer suggestions and advice on technique and to reassure me about my lack of artistry - that everything was possible in art - even what I was doing! They were all lovely. Then the cooking group from the morning shared their lunch with me (delicious) before I was taken on a tour of the village where we caught some fish that we brought back and cooked in my cooking class. Thanks to everyone- you were all marvellous and your work is fascinating. The batiks that I created were not as terrible as I thought ( thanks to a lot of help) and I bought one from the gallery that I think is truly wonderful.

We attended the cooking class and it has been the highlight of our trip so far! Our host, Hanung, gave us a tour of the beautiful Tembi village, before cooking. We cooked with locally sourced ingredients, got to catch our own fish to cook, and enjoyed a beautiful meal at the end. I would highly recommend this experience, you get to experience the local Java lifestyle!

Awesome time, this was both my friend and my favourite day in Jogja. It was interesting to learn about batik painting and having a go at it. The locals were very chill as well, though we booked the 9am to 3pm one with cooking, we only left at 6pm as they allowed us to take our time to complete our batik. They are really such friendly people and it was nice to get to know them, their village and way of life.

I booked this experience for the same reason that seek Sophie was started.. I wanted an authentic and insightful look into local life.. all other tours of batik and similar , that I could find were more touristy and offered the same things on all other trip booking sites.. We were not disappointed...this experience gave us an excellent opportunity to learn the highly skilled work of the batik artists in a relaxed and welcoming environment..all of the staff were so friendly and helpful... the batik class was fantastic and the staff helped us FIX our poor efforts into something that we can actually display.. we did the cooking class also and the lady who did this with us was great and food fantastic. They send you a menu choice beforehand where you choose what to cook... we enjoyed coffee and some music by Karon... karon then took us a walking tour of the village, explaining its history culture and aspects of daily life for the local people..it was very informative...the owner of the business was Tatang and he was also very friendly and helpful.. If you are looking for a tour that gives a bit of everything for a day out and enjoy chilling and learning about local culture then choose this tour... great job guys, I hope you continue your excellent service... first class. ...

This was a big highlight of our trip in Yogyakarta! We had such a creative day! Hanung and the Leksa Ganesha team were so welcoming, friendly and helpful to me and my husband. We made beautiful batik art, and we also cooked and ate very delicious Indonesian dishes. We even caught our own fish to eat when we were given a tour of the village to see the different foods that the community grows. We were given free mineral water, tea and coffee. We would highly recommend this experience and we would love to come back again in the future. We were there from 10am - 5pm, so you should allow a full day for this (perhaps 9am - 6pm) so you can take your time. Thank you Hanung and Leksa Ganesha for your hospitality!
