It was a good tour and... - It was a good tour and Ferdy was a good tour guide. This was also the only Jakarta tour we could find that would pick us up and drop us off at our airport hotel.

Sightseeing Jakarta tour - This tour showed me some points of Jakarta worth seeing that I would hardly find on my own. A luxurious car with driver and Hanny as guide. Perfect. Don't overload. Don't rush. All shown and explained in peace. Can only recommend to all travelers. The money is well invested.

Private tour by car in Jakarta - Ivan was a knowledgeable guide with very good English. His driver was efficient. We saw all of the highlights of Jakarta. We met at the Mal Artha Grading as the cruise operated a shuttle to the Mall. Ivan arranged for the driver to return us to the cruise port which was very nice.

Wonderful tour of Jakarta! - We had an absolutely magical tour with Fitri and Elun. Their knowledge about Jakarta and Indonesia, hospitality, warmth, and generosity made our tour of the city a wonderful experience. Would recommend for anyone looking to see the ins and outs of a sprawling city in half a day.

Quick but informative and fun tour! - This was a last minute booking the night before but they responded right away and confirmed the pick up time. Everything was as described and our guide Enok was terrific. She and the driver worked well together to drop us off and pick us up at the various sights, there was no time lost. She was very knowledgeable and spoke great English. It was a great way to get a quick taste of Jakarta!

Tour full of history - and traffic - My tour guide, IVAN, was great; knowledgeable, responsive and interesting. Our driver, Mann, was careful as he manoeuvred amongst the many vehicles.

Enjoyable and Informative Tour of Jakarta - This was such a delightful tour! Our guide Enok clearly loves what she does and is so knowledgeable about the city’s history. Our driver Man was also great at navigating Jakarta’s very challenging traffic. My husband and I are visiting for our son’s wedding and wanted to take a break from the wedding activities and see a bit of the city. Very happy we booked this tour. Loved walking through the Chinatown market and Old Town, and a surprising highlight was a stop at a puppet studio for a demo on the art of puppet making. Fascinating!

Great Introduction to Jakarta with a Fantastic Guide - We really enjoyed this tour. I usually don’t take part in guided sightseeing tours, so I had some reservations at first, but I’m genuinely glad we chose this one. It turned out to be a great way to discover Jakarta, both the modern city and the Old Town, in a short amount of time. Our guide, Ine, was fantastic: knowledgeable, engaging, and very attentive. She made the experience feel personal and relaxed, not touristy at all. Highly recommended, even if you’re normally not into organized tours.
