Visiting the National monument, we were lucky enough to watch some of the rehersals for the upcoming Independence day celebrations. Jeffrey was a great guide full of interesting information.

As we did not have long in Jakarta,we booked the full day tour to see the city. We were accompanied by a Tour guide and a driver, in a well air-conditioned car. Sonny (guide) was friendly, knowledgeable and keen to ensure we were comfortable. Itinerary was comfortable and we did not feel rushed. Iggy was a safe driver,
Hit all the main tourist sites. The guide and driver were friendly and informative and answered all our questions. Impressed with the mosque and the people there are friendly and accommodating. Visit to a puppet maker to learn and potentially buy. No pressure from the puppet maker. The lunch was plentiful and fairly good.
My colleague and I have been show around Jakarta by an experienced driver and guide. The tour went smooth, the guide was prepared and polite. We could learn all about Jakarta and Indonesia culture in a day. I truly reccommend this company. The food included for lunch was good and good quantity. The car provided was clean and with good AC. All the sites described have been visited plus some extra customization.
<p>The tour guide was very engaging, and had a fairly good command of the English language. The itinerary was just nice for a day tour, without having to rush between locations. Unfortunately the main building of the National Museum was not accessible, and we only had access to the non-permanent exhibits. Otherwise a great tour overall!</p>
<p>The tour guide Fibriniesa was great as well as her time management of the tour which was about 6 hours long and not 12 hours as advertised. Lunch was amazing.</p>
i enjoyed the tour . the tour guide was very nice. we became more friends. I recommend all my friends. I want to go again and spend more days and wants to meet more places. a memorable holiday. the guide was prompt and kept his time. and promise.
<p>Definitely is a quick and dirty way to see Jarkarta and understand the culture especially you have limited time in Jarkarta.</p>
<p>Donovan, our guide, and Auckland, our driver, were very good. We started at Chinatown and finished at the National Museum. It was spoilt somewhat by Donovan not appreciating the tip that we gave him. Auckland on the other hand was extremely appreciative.</p>
<p>Viator full day highlights of Jakarta was really a nice private guided tour, as I had in the past too. Very good and informative guide Patty and a cool and patient cab driver were really nice companion of the tour.<br/> Only thing which we didn't like was the selection of restaurant for lunch. If you pick up the customer from a 5-star hotel, your package lunch should also be of that standard.<br/> Otherwise the tour was memorable. Thanks Viator.</p>
