Local & Personal
Your personal guide through Indonesia. Explore Java, Bali and more with a team that puts people and culture before mass tourism.
The idea for Beyond Local was born in 2023, during a trip with Rachman – a local guide who truly moved us with his stories and deep passion for Indonesia. That journey opened our eyes: traveling with a local offers far more depth, connection, and authenticity than a typical tour package from a big operator. In 2025, we decided to bring our dream to life. With a deep love for Indonesia – and Asia as a whole – our goal is to create unique, small-scale trips that honor the land, its people, and its culture.
Our Vision
At Beyond Local, we believe the best journeys happen when you follow your own path — away from the crowds, exploring with a personal guide who truly knows his country. We consciously choose quality over quantity. No endless list of options, but carefully curated tours we fully support. Together with our team of local guides, we ensure authentic experiences, personal attention, and a journey you’ll never forget. Find a tour that fits you, and feel free to reach out with questions. No group pressure, no rush — just space for you. For peace, depth, and real connection with Indonesia.

Our Guides
Bij Beyond Local werken we uitsluitend met lokale gidsen die Indonesië écht kennen — mensen die hun land met trots en passie laten zien. Elke gids is zorgvuldig geselecteerd op kennis, gastvrijheid en liefde voor zijn of haar regio. Ze denken mee in jouw reisplanning, delen verborgen parels en zorgen dat je het échte Indonesië ervaart — ver weg van het massatoerisme. Wij geloven dat alleen een gids die hier vandaan komt, je het land kan laten voelen zoals het werkelijk is.
