Pretty darn amazing. I am not one to normally hire a local to give me a private tour. Maybe I am too proud (or cheap) but I was reluctant to let some random guy off the street walk us through the water castle. Either way we did let him stick around and tell us the history (or his version of the history). I have to say it was a great decision to walk around with him. He had a plethora to say about each and every room and the rooms function. If he wasn't there I probably would have been guessing at each and every rooms intended role. The tour went easily over an hour and we saw several rooms I would not have seen unless we were following our guide. The craftsmanship and size of this place was impressive and I am glad we took the time to go out there. It's located a walking distance from the sultan's castle and both could easily be done in the same day. I would recommend coming out to see this.

A nice place for a short visit and walk around the adjacent community. The castle is in poor condition. The community is filled with eateries, artists, and restaurants.
The most historical place that has a lot of story. There are a lot of local tour guide that you can find to guide you if you need information about the places indeed. If you like about photography this place is very recommended to be visited because there are a lot of beautiful angles that you can capture. The admission price is cheap for local tourist is around 5k and non local tourist *if I'm not mistaken around 10k rupiah
Beautiful heritage site, however there is nothing much here and it was a little bit overrated. Place is small and the crowd is too much
Nice place
The building of Taman Sari commenced during the reign of Sultan Hamengkubuwono I (1755–1792), the first sultan of the Yogyakarta Sultanate, and was completed by the time of Sultan Hamengkubuwono II. The building site, however, had already been known as a bathing place called Pacethokan Spring since Sunan Amangkurat IV’s reign (1719–1726).According to Kitab Mamana in Yogyakarta Kraton, the project leader for the construction of Taman Sari was Tumenggung Mangundipura. He had travelled twice to Batavia to learn about European architecture, which is the reason why the architecture of Taman Sari has marks of European style. The Regent of Madiun, Raden Rangga Prawirasentika, participated in funding the construction of Taman Sari. Prawirasentika also beseeched the Sultan to be relieved of Madiun's tax obligation. He offered other alternative ways of payment. The Sultan accepted his proposal. In 1758, the Sultan commanded the Regent to supervise the making of bricks and various complements, which would be used to build a beautiful garden. The sultan wanted a place where he could spend some time to relax after many years of wars that he had just experienced. Raden Tumenggung Mangundipura, under supervision of Raden Arya Natakusuma (who later became Sri Pakualam II), was responsible for the construction. The building was started in 1684 Javanese year (1758 AD). After finding out how large the complex was, Raden Rangga Prawirasentika realized that the cost would have been greater than the taxes. He resigned from the project and was replaced by Prince Natakusuma who continued the project to completion.
Very disappointed would not visit again. There are a lot more places to see I would avoid this if your a backpacker
Scammers around there. Whatchout.
