Jakarta excursion from Cruise Terminal

Took the excursion from the cruise terminal. Very efficient pickup, good vehicle with a/c. Informative guide. Mixed weather with some rain showers and of course high humidity, but didn’t spoil the experience. Would recommend.

Best night tour ever - Pinkie and Bony are AMAZING

We had the most amazing night tour with Pinkie, our guide and Bony, our driver. Pinkie met us at our hotel and was a bundle of joy from the start. She gave us great information about Indonesia, Bony drove us to all of the best sights and we tasted some amazing local delicacies on the way. We had a good laugh and the evening flew by. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour and the night time was a lot cooler. Ask for these two, you will not be disappointed :)

Beautiful balance between getting out and about and education

Being in Jakarta for business, we wanted to see the highlights of the city and have context. Our tour guide was eloquent and fun. He did a great job balancing getting us around and downloading just the right amount of memorable history and current realities. We came away feeling like we had a bit of a handle on the city, which is exactly what we wanted.

A great snapshot of Jakarta city!

We enjoyed the half day tour, it was just the right amount of time to see the main tourist attractions of Jakarta city. Our tour guide, Bryan, was fabulous. He is a font of knowledge on Jakarta, very personable, funny and kind. Nothing was too much trouble. The driver was professional and the car was very clean. Unfortunately the mosque was not open when we arrived, Friday is not recommended due to the prayer schedule. While it was hot, we didn't have to walk too far in the heat and the car was airconditioned so that provided relief along the way.
