Most disappointing experience. I cancelled the tour .please arrange for refund. I have stated my reasons in an earlier mail.
The car wasn’t air-conditioned, most of the stops orange very interesting and I feel Jakarta can probably be skipped altogether.
Can’t recommend Tony enough, his wealth of knowledge on the local history is excellent, if your look for something to do would highly recommend this
Netti is very energetic and accommodating in personalizing the tour for specific visitors. Fun tour.
Wonderful experience of Jakerta day trip. Driver was polite & Guide Toni was kind, patient, friendly & knowledgeable. He helped to take a lot of photos. Highly appreciated & recommended.
Our tour guide was Tony and his driver Ricardo. Tony was very knowledgeable, courteous, accommodating and helpful. The National Museum and the Old City ( Batavia) Cultural Tour were the highlights of our city tour. The National monument was being renovated and the area for picture taking was closed the public. Tony was familiar with the layout of the city and showed and narrated the significance of the various landmarks as we go by it. I asked Tony to take us to a good money exchange place and a nice restaurant to try the authentic Indonesian cuisine. I can’t thank Tony enough for helping us get our PCR 48 hour test for our flight back to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow. He took us to a drive through Covid testing clinic. We got our negative results this morning. We had had our test at around 2:00 PM yesterday. All in all the tour was great and the service was even better.
Do get your visit arrangement done via this medium. I did not do this, thinking that I will save money, but it turned out otherwise. The taxi driver that I contracted for the day event was on drug and he was driving dangerously. We got to one of the destination, decided to let him go... and paid him full contracted amount.
Tony and our excellent driver Ogy ensured we had a fun and exciting day! The highlights for us were the Javanese puppet maker, in the square where we met some great high school kids who interviewed us to bush up on their English. Amiable atmosphere.
Our guide was very good and knowledgeable. Our driver was also very funny and they seemed to work very well together. It would have been nice to go into the Monas (Monumen Nasional) but it wasn’t part of the tour. It was nice that entry was included for the museum, mosque, and puppet place, and we were treated with a nice lunch. This was your standard tour where you stop at one place, look around, and ride to the next area, Not as interactive as a nature tour or volcano exploration but if you like sticking to the city and having a general layout of Jakarta, this could be a decent tour for you.
Our very knowledgeable guide Ferdy and excellent driver Ogy ensured we had a fun and interesting day! Thankyou! :) The highlights for us were the Javanese puppets and puppet maker, the museums and the square. Great lunch too!
