Great tour to experience Jakarta - We had a tour with our guide Enok, and we had a great day! We visited many different places and learned a lot about Jakarta, both the current culture as well as the history. The tour felt very personalized, as it was just us and the guide (and the driver). Which really enhanced the experience for us. We also booked the lunch, which was great. We had good Indonesian food at a place where many locals go. All in all, we would definitely recommend this tour!

Amazing Experience - This was simply the most incredible tour I’ve ever been on. My tour guide Enok was so kind and knowledgeable. Throughout the day we did so much and now I feel that I have truly experienced Jakarta. I still can’t believe how much I experienced in a single day. If you’re a tourist in Jakarta reading this review, then I urge you to book this tour and truly experience Jakarta. Thank you so much for everything Enok for providing an excellent tour! Now I can go home with experiences that will last a lifetime!

Fantastic private shore excursion in Jakarta - We had a perfect day in Jakarta. Our tour guide Ine and her driver already waited for us as our ship arrived at the harbour. We got awesome impressions at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, a batik fabric - with no need to buy, Monas and Jakarta Old Town. We also had the chance to drive through Chinatown and do some shopping in a small supermarket. As foreign credit cards are often not accepted in those markets, Ine offered to pay with her credit card but we were prepared and had enough cash - but so many thanks for the offer!!! We loved to see how the puppets for the shadow puppetry were made and enjoyed a short performance. The whole trip was perfectly organized, we had lots of fun and reached our ship in time with no hurry. We highly recommend this tour and thanks again to Ine, her driver and Ferdy for the organisation!!!

Great tour in jakarta - We would definitely recommend the heritage tour. There aren't many sights in Jakarta and they are far appart. To avoid booking taxi after taxi, the tour gives you an efficient way to navigate the city while visiting the best place. Our driver, ELUN, watched our bags, made sure there was enough water and aranged umbrellas when it looked like rain (unfortunately it stayed dry). Note!: on Monday all museums in Indonesia are closed, so also the museum that are listed as included. Fortunately our Guide, ENOK, sublemented our tour with a guided tour to the harbor and a visit to a wajang pupetmaker maker. MAKUTHERAMA has both antique and modern, tradionaly made wajang puppets. His store is definitely worth the visit if your looking for a Javanese souvenir that isn't plastic or mass produced.

Old Bavaria came to life - I only had a short time in Jakarta. Bundi - the guide and Elun the driver picked me up at an airport hotel and dropped me back there which was wonderful. It was a great tour to see some of the more historic places in the city. The Dutch buildings, the Catholic Cathedral as well as the main Mosque and a Chinese temple. A particular highlight was visiting the Wayang puppet store. The puppet master was a fountain of knowledge about the making of the puppets and the plays they are used for. The tour was of great interest with a little ride in a Tuk Tuk thrown in.
