It was quite an underwhelming experience. Perhaps it was due to the fact I was travelling solo. It felt extremely awkward to have someone follow me while I shop. Food was certainly not spectacular either.

Traveling around Jakarta is difficult. Having a personal guide and a driver to show you around is the only way to go. Vincent was a fountain of knowledge re Jakarta's and Indonesia's history. Our day included the National Monument, Antique street, Batik shop, China Town, Tao Temple, Wayang & Puppet maker, old Jakarta, Batavia dock area, a fabulous Indonesian lunch and door to door transport. Plus our driver, Mr Asep did an amazing job with the traffic! Worth every cent.

The communication was pretty consistent, the tour company will reach out to you around 48 hours prior to the tour to provide confirmation and information about your guide. The guide that I was assigned to: Rizky, was very accommodating towards my wants and made some adjustments to the itinerary. He was also very knowledgeable about the various places that we visited that consistently highlighted Indonesia's rise to independence from the Dutch. The various cuisines and jajanan was delicious from Nasi Padang to kerak Telor. Overall, it was good summation of Indonesian history and cultural delights.

I really appreciated the company reaching out prior to our tour via Whatsapp to share our tour guides info and to give logistics. Catherine was an excellent tour guide. She texted me in the morning and was early for our tour. She kept it 100% real, and this made the tour even more engaging. We did a lot, and the food that was included during the tour was so yummy!

Nanda, my guide, was excellent. She spoke exceptional English and was very knowledgeable about Jakarta, its politics, history, and culture. I learned so much from her during this trip and saw so many interesting parts of Jakarta that I would never have managed to do on my own as the city is so very big. I highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Jakarta.
Greetings, Ms. Cristina Fairley. Thank you so much for giving us the best review. We are very glad that you're enjoyed the Jakarta City Tour : Shopping and Food Culinary Tour with Nanda. We hope that all the best for you. See you on the next tour and Have a great day. Sincerely, Nurul
great i love this city so much, the city offer so many food and i think i fall in love when i see the citylights, but be careful
This is a perfect day of shopping, eating, and sightseeing. It is also the perfect length of time that won’t leave you utterly exhausted at the end of the day. Rizky, our guide was great. He was very responsive and thoughtful. Based on our needs and desires as well as the previous tours that we had taken, he tweaked and customized the itinerary a bit for us.
Nanda and driver very friendly. Would recommend to others Really only sensible way to visit sites and shops, because jakarta is so big
