Best way to experience Jakarta city in a day! - Great orientation about the history, culture, food and people.
Lucked out as i was the only person so ended up getting a private tour! They are very punctual and extremely organised.
Well planned out itinerary so saw pretty much everything there is to see at a tourist.
Tashia my guide was very knowledgeable on everything about Jakarta and Indonesian culture. She was so kind that she lent me her portable fan as she could see i was melting in the heat & humidity.
Must do if you have a day in Jakarta city!

Tashia is a wonderful guide - What a wonderful day with Tashia. We visited the most important sites and monuments of Jakarta and we had a delicious lunch in a local restaurant when I enjoyed a delicious Cendol . Most of all I enjoyed the company of Tashia. She’s a lovely person always ready to make me the most confortable. And she is very interesting and I learned a lot about Indonesian culture and history.
Thank you so much Taschia!

Recommendation - We had a great time at the tour. All the costs where included in the price, nothing additional, no tourist traps. Our guide Rafael was really friendly and super well informed, so he could tell us a lot about the City. He even took some extra time to show us more of the rising new parts of jakarta. The offer is really fair, you will get a lot for the price and won't scammed. Would definetly recommend!

The good and bad - Enjoyed the tour tremendously, and tour guide Catherine has been most helpful and accommodating. The only major negative was the Viator booking page, the transport charges for hotel pick up was not clear neither were they helpful.
