Very nice start Visit to Jakarta - The tour was very nice started with Mueseum, visit to the mosque, cathedral and then lunch at local restaurant. Followed by China town, the harbor and then old town and coffee at Cafe Batavia. It was a perfect ending to the tour. Our tour guide Mr Gindo and Driver Yoga were both very cheerful, supportive and welcoming to our needs and comfort during the tour.

Well-Organized Day Tour - We were a group of 4 and had an enjoyable day on this tour. Our guide, Eko, was great - very knowledgeable and happy to share lots of interesting information throughout the day.
He met us right on time at our hotel lobby and took us around Jakarta for about 8 hours. Even though we didn’t cover every single place listed in the original itinerary, we spent time at each stop without feeling rushed.
One of the highlights was visiting Istiqlal Mosque during prayer time. Even though we’re not Muslim, the tour arranged for a local guide so we could go inside, which made the experience much more meaningful.
We also got to try a short ride on a local bus, which was a fun and authentic touch. Another stop was the National Museum - just note that the entrance fee there isn’t included and needs to be paid separately.
Overall, a well-organized and flexible tour with a great guide. Would definitely recommend it!

My Jakarta Highlight tour was simply amazing! - Punctual pick-up, and I had the very kind Mr. Gindo as my guide and the amazing Mr. Two as driver. The tour van was perfectly air-conditioned and comfortable the whole day.
Mr. Gindo brought Jakarta’s rich history to life — he really did justice in reviving the memories and stories behind every site we visited. His knowledge and passion made the tour special.
The choice of lunch restaurant was amazing too. The food and ambiance added so much to the whole Jakarta experience.
I highly recommend this tour to everyone with a day to spare in Jakarta. If you want to enjoy the key highlights with a great team, please reach out to these folks. You won’t regret it!
Asante sana! Terimah kasih

A Perfect Private Tour in Jakarta - I had an amazing experience exploring Jakarta on this private tour, and a huge part of it was thanks to our wonderful guide, Gindo, and our driver, Yoga. Gindo was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and brought the city to life with his insights and stories at every stop. Yoga ensured a smooth, safe, and comfortable journey throughout the day.
The entire itinerary was very well planned, allowing us to explore Jakarta at a relaxed pace while still covering all the highlights. Everything felt seamless and thoughtfully arranged.
Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a personalized, stress-free, and memorable way to discover Jakarta!

No tour (official holiday), tour was canceled very shortly before, even the tour organizer knew about it before. - Tour didn't take place because of official holiday, which the tour organizer didn't mentioned before, even they knew about it. So unfortunately I had to remanage my bookings in short time.
