Very good tourist company in Indonesia - I took my tour with Yiyiep, who knows how to speak English & has a great sense of humour. I enjoyed my time with him for three days as he has a depth of knowledge on the touristic information. The company was flexible on arranging my schedule with short notice and very professional.

Interesting and informative tour of a bit of Jarakta - A great trip to see a some of the sites Jakarta has to offer and learn a few things about Indonesia's history. Thomas was our guide and his knowledge and passion for his country and its culture really made the tour one of the most enjoyable I have been on. He was of great assistance in the market and trying local food, we tried so many things we might not have found otherwise. While at the museum and parks there was little need to read the display as Thomas' commentary provided even more information. Thanks Thomas!

Fun and interesting cultural tour of Jakarta. - A very interesting tour! Thomas told us lots of fun and interesting stories and facts about Indonesian culture and history during this tour. Aldi drove very well in Jakarta traffic, making us comfortable from spot to spot. The lunch-rijstafel-was really good and a highlight of this tour too. Definitely recommend this Jakarta full- day tour: culture and traditions, offered by Ekaputra tour!

Visit the active volcano, tea plantation and hot spring - I am very thankful that I did!...My guide, Jose was incredibly friendly and attentive. He took the time to get to know and understand me, my background and my interests, which he used to decide what areas to spend more time on, what to show more of, and if we should make any extra stops along the way. Because of this, although the tour does run on a schedule the experience feels personal and customized for you. Jose is an experienced guide and educated...He was very knowledgeable about history and Indonesian society and provided great context to the visuals. it was fantastic day for me and super experience about Indonesia County side and local life...

Not well arranged - This place is getting better over the years, but there are several things can be improved : * Better general information on how to access this place when using different kind of vehicle. * There are a lot of (i can say) 'un-registered' seller around the area who sell item at steep price. * A lot of "guide" who act as if he was the employee of the place and offer their service to take visitor around, taking picture and ask us to buy their pictures. * Shuttle driver is not helpful. They are not trying to help exhausted visitor, we feel they avoiding customer and more focus on his own route. Suggestion : * If you can not walk more than 5 km a day, better to hire battery bike or scooter.
