Our tour guide , Neti , was an absolute delight . Warm , bubbly , informative and entertaining , she taught us so much in a short space of time , and was an engaging and humorous companion . We loved her ! Thank you Neti
Tour guide and driver where fabulous, they showed us much as they had to offer . It’s a big city and a lot is closed on a Monday
Ratih did an excellent job with her profound knowledge about history, culture and the every day life ! Thank you very much!!
This tour covers the most important sights of Jakarta City. To be honest, Jakarta is not a classic tourist hotspot, and few people would travel there for that reason. However, if you’re interested in the culture of Jakarta’s residents and Javanese traditions, this 7-hour tour offers a lot: insights into history, local religions, how people live here, and the challenges both residents and the city face in the short and long term. Ratih, our guide, was wonderfully patient and answered every question. An excellent day!
Ritah provided my friend Kim and me a wonderful day. She was flexible, knowledgeable and friendly. The driver was also excellent. A great introduction to Jakarta.
Great day with Ms Raith exploring Jakarta and learning about the history of Jakarta. This was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. She was very knowledgeable and very funny. Having a personal car and driver with the guide made it so much easier to get around this busy city. The boat trip was great to see a different perspective of the city

We had a very full and fun day. Loved walking thru China town. But of everything we did the Merdeka Square was our favorite and could have easily spent more time there. So much to see and do. We had lunch at Cafe Batavia which was absolutely delicious. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable and seemed to want to make it the best experience for us. Definitely would recommend this experience.
We had a great day with Nati, touring in Jakarta. We have seen less touristic sites, we have talked a lot and laughed a lot. Nati is very positive personality, she listens to the customers very carefully and ready to accommodate their spontaneous change of plans. Her English is very good.
Great guide, with good commentary on sights we saw, local culture, history etc etc. he willingly answered all our questions. We were not able to enter the mosque as it was Friday, but he described it for us. View of city from top of monument was awesome. The only part of the tour Id change is the boat tour— it was hard getting onto the boat over the plank and I was unable to participate in that part of the tour. Jakarta is a very busy city and it was great to be in an air conditioned car instead of a filled tourist bus!
