A day out in Jakarta - Never knew that the old city was sinking like Venice and at so much risk from rising sea levels. Our guide Fitria was very knowledgeable and humorous too. The tour covers a lot of ground and from pick up to drop off we were 6 hours rather than 4 but I regarded that as value for money. Highlight for me was sipping iced tea in Kate Batavia - it has the same sort of colonial feel as Raffles in Singapore. A good day out and a great way to understand Jakarta’s history.

Excellent historic tour - A wonderful morning spent with Haidar our guide and Elun our driver. They showed us the historic side of Jakarta that we would have missed if we had simply stayed around the SCBD. Great stories, interesting information and perspective. Haidar has a great sense of humor and is a talented guide. Highly recommended.

Highly Recommend - Brilliant Tour - We had an amazing experience on this tour with our guide Fitri and driver Riswan. We learnt a lot of the history of Indonesia and Jakarta and were blown away by the beauty of the city. The highlight of the tour was the mosque which is the third largest in the world. Fitri went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic tour. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Jakarta.

Great Jakarta Overview - Our guide was Siri and the driver Pak Jonday. Siri was very competent leading the tour. She kept us on track, which is not so easy in Jakarta and gave interesting background information, without overloading us. Pak Jonday was an excellent driver, calm, but efficient.

Discovering the old and new Jakarta - Our half-day excursion through Jakarta gave us a wonderful orientation to this fascinating city. Our tour guide, Dery, took us from the modern city back through time to its historic and cultural roots. Highlights included visiting the mosque and the cathedral, and playing a game to explore Confucian guidance at the Chinese temple. We also enjoyed visiting the old city Square and a wonderful puppet studio. Dery and our driver, Wawan, were a great team, enabling us to see and learn much more than we would have on our own. If you want a compact and engaging introduction to Jakarta, take this tour!
