Quick fun excursion - I booked a last minute trip and was assigned Jeffry as my tour guide. During each excursion Jeffry and Andres (driver) ensured I was safe and was able to fully immerse myself in the experience. If I return to Jakarta in the future I will definitely request any excursion he is a part of.

Great city tour of Jakarta - The tour guide spoke great English and was very knowledgeable and very quickly revised our schedule to meet our needs. He was personable & catered to our needs. The restaurant he choose was in of the best meals we have had in Indonesia. Just the desired level of detailed information & time at each site.

Full and fun day - We had a great guide, Rizky with a driver. They were flexible with tweaks to starting and end time, and also accomodated the request for vegan food at lunch. We saw everything noted in the tour information, which was interesting and informative. The only stop that was somewhat underwhelming was the port. I feel we got a good understanding of Jarkarta's history, and a flavor into life there. I'll also note the reasonable price of this tour. We did something similar a few days earlier in Singapore, and it was about triple the price.
