Evening stroll with views and pancakes - The tour with Tio our guide started with a short drive to the National Monument to see it lit up. Plenty of people enjoying the stroll around. Then over to the Cathedral and Mosque. They look completely different being lit up in the night. A beautiful view that a lot of people were enjoying. We then went to have something to eat at a street market, it was fascinating to watch the savoury pancakes being prepared and cooked, which were delicious. A drive to Pik where there are plenty of international food stalls and a couple of bars to enjoy. This area is beautiful and some parts still under development. The whole area will be excellent when completed. A very good and safe way to see some of Jakarta at night.

A must if you only have a limited amount of time in Jakarta, as this is a wonderful way to get to know the city. - Our tour guide Tashia, arrived at the hotel promptly. Her enthusiasm and passion for her beautiful city was evident through her thorough knowledge of Jakarta's history (past and present). We visited all the main sights, and Tashia was more than happy to take as many photos of us as we wanted. Traffic was inevitable, however our guide made sure that we saw everything that was promised to us. We stopped at the Jakarta Monument, old town, harbour, mosque and cathedral, old and new chinatown and markets and even had the time to sample some of Jakarta's famous street food. We returned back to our hotel with our hearts happy and our bellies full. A must if you only have a limited amount of time in Jakarta, as this is a wonderful way to get to know the city.

Jakarta in a nutshell - I saw the essence of Jakarta on this tour… it was my only opportunity, as I was here for a limited time on a conference. Thank you to Nanda (my one-on-one guide) and to Rob (driver).

Jakarta in the Night and Day - Wow, where do I start? I met the tour guides Mitchell, Inne, and Mr. Jil. They were fantastic, especially Mitchell and Inne. I went first with Mitchell; he brought me around Jakarta at night, and Inne brought me during the day. Inne was super friendly and willing to take the time to explain everything about Jakarta and the surrounding Islands. We ran into Mitch as we toured the area. I would highly recommend either person for a great experience in Jakarta. George

Perfect hotel 👌 - I had an enjoyable time in this wonderful hotel. Everything was excellent in this hotel, starting with the reception staff and their manager Khaldoun, who dealt with everyone with all friendliness, and there was Abdul Rahman, that friendly person from the gym who helped me a lot, and Yan, that kind person. The rooms were Clean and tidy, and the food was good, but other items need to be added in breakfast. The swimming pool is wonderful and the gym is excellent. In the end, I would like to thank everyone for the good treatment and I hope to return again.

Great evening tour in Jakarta - We had a lovely evening tour in Jakarta. Our guide Rizky was very knowledgeable, friendly and easy to communicate with. Rizky communicated with us via WhatsApp regarding pick up time from our hotel, and from an operational side it was all very smooth. Rizky did a wonderful job showing us some of the highlights in the city, explaining the history, traditions, culture and introducing us to some great local food. I must also mention our excellent driver who got us everywhere we had to be, driving through some crazy traffic 😊 overall we had a wonderful evening in Jakarta. Thank you!
