Interesting overview of cultures making up modern-day society
A long day due to traffic. The guide Gindo and driver Mr. Red were great! We spent the morning hours at the Betawi Center, learning some about the indigenous people of the area and how their life changed due to Dutch influence. The cathedral visit in center of Jakarta was not as enjoyable as expected due to the central aisle being cordoned off, limiting our ability to get good views of the interior. The mosque is incredible, and the on-site guide did a great job explaining in 15 minutes the history of the mosque and a bit about the evolution of Muslim culture in general. The Chinatown visit was also a blast. We found the quick visit to the traditional pharmacy quite interesting, and the temple visit was colorful and fascinating. It does involve a lot of time in the car, but we felt this was a really good day full of worthwhile activities!

Nice tour
I really enjoyed this tour. The guide was communicative, friendly, and provided interesting information throughout the trip. The driver performed his duties very well and ensured a safe and comfortable journey. We visited everything that was included in the program: National Monument, Istiqlal Mosque, Museum Katedral, Wisata Kota Tua Jakarta, and Sunda Kelapa Harbour. The tour was well organized and offered a great introduction to Jakarta’s history and culture. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city.

The couple participated in a multicultural tour of Indonesia. My guide Bella's Japanese is very We were able to have an experience that we could never have had while being exposed to foreign culture with skill. We had a great time. They also ordered cookies which I recommend as souvenirs, and they took care of everything. And when I go to Indonesia next year, Bella-san, please appoint a guide, so thank you.

Great Guide, Great Tour, Great Day
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Ibek was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun. We picked up plenty of fascinating insights about Jakarta and its history. Yoga, our driver, was also fantastic, making the journey smooth and comfortable throughout. Highly recommended.

Best solo tour with the best tour company and tour guide - Ibek
I just finished a private tour in Indonesia, and I have to say — Ibek, my tour guide and all the beautiful places were the highlights of my trip. She’s not only super friendly and easy to talk to, but also incredibly knowledgeable about Indonesian history. I loved how she explained things with so much passion and detail, it made every place we visited feel meaningful. If you're lucky enough to get Ibek as your guide, you're in great hands. She truly made the experience unforgettable! Super recommended to avail MyProGuide's tour services.
