It was a fun day doing this tour with ProGuide Jakarta, we were treated to the highlights of Jakarta. It was a unconventional tour as we highlighted historical facts about Jakarta as well as sights that most people never visit or care to know about. Five stars thank you to Mr. Gindo for such an amazing time. From our driver as well to the choice of restaurant. Simply amazing!
Excellent tour guide( IBHEK) ! Friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about Jakarta. The tour was well organized, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. Thank you for making my visit to Jakarta a great experience. Highly recommended!
Overall it was great. I just think the national museum tour is quite expensive. Nevertheless, i had fun. We had a amazing group too! Thanks mr. Gindo and mr. Peace. Keep it up!
We really enjoy the tour as our tour guide is very knowledgeable, energetic from morning up to the end of the tour, and also very friendly.
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.
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.
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!
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
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!
Very competent and friendly tour guide had. We were in Jakarta during Ramadan so public buildings were closed. That didn't matter at all as the tour guide always had an alternative for it. Clear recommendation.
