Jakarta in a day. - Ratih gave us a really good look at Jakarta’s touristy areas and also the port and Chinatown. She was very informative, with a vast historical background - all in very easily understood English. Took us to a great restaurant for lunch, we never felt rushed and loved the boat trip on the harbour. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

Unforgettable experience - We were hesitating whether we preferred to see Jakarta by ourselves or with a local guide, but it was the best decision we could have made to book this trip! Our amazing and cheerful guide Neti, made the experience unforgettable! We had a lot of fun for the whole day and were taught a lot of fascinating facts. We had a chance to explore many different districts of Jakarta, not just the modern part. The trip was so well-organized (we were lucky to be there on a local holiday though) that after we finished the main plan, we ended up having extra time and were able to add extra activities. I definitely recommend the tour, especially if you only have one day and you want to make the most of it.

Great Jakarta city tour - Great private tour including main Jakarta attractions/monuments. We appreciated in particular the visit of handmade puppets' shop. The only thing not that interesting that we did was the boat ride as there are not many things to see - our skipper was nice. Special thanks to our guide and the driver.

Great driver and guide. The perfect day in Jakarta. - We truly enjoyed our day in Jakarta. Great driver and Eddie wa a very knowledgeable tour guide. Exactly as advertised. Clean and comfortable car. Lunch was excellent with lots of options both local and Western. The weather turned from sunny and hot to a monsoon within a matter of minutes. Eddie bought us ponchos and the driver met up with an umbrella. 100% recommended

Great Tour of Jakarta - Our guide, Alis, did a wonderful job showing us so much of Jakarta in a short period of time. We saw most of the top sites and finished our tour with a ride in one of the old wooden boats in the old harbor. Her courteous manner, knowledge and desire to make our visit as special as possible was key to a memorable day.

Average - Besides Chinatown and the wet market, Jakarta is very unimpressive. It is a big dirty and mostly polluted city. The guy did her best to show us things that might be of interest, but compared to many other spots in Asia. Jakarta is low on my list.
