Jindo, the tour guide, and Red, the driver, both had professional skills. There were two tour passengers in the six-passenger car. The tour includes Monas (just see from a distance), National Museum, Istiqlal Mosque, Catholic Church, Lunch (Indonesian restaurant Delicious and reasonably priced at IDR 850000), Chinatown (description of its origins, old-fashioned Chinese pharmacy, Chinese temple), Sundakelpa Harbour, Old Batavia, and finally a relaxing cup of tea at a Dutch-style cafe in the square in front of the former Dutch governor-general's office. The guide's explanation was very stimulating, starting with the historical events and allowing us to think about what happened then and what is now. Specifically, from the Hindu/Buddhist era to Islam with the rise of West Asian powers, to Protestantism, which took root during the harsh Dutch rule that lasted 340 years, and after a brief period of Japanese occupation, until finally winning independence. Even after returning to the hotel, I wanted to know more about Indonesia. With the exception of the museum, the roads were heavily congested wherever we headed on our tour in the hot daytime, but the driver, Red, knew many loopholes and was able to get to his destination on time in a minimum. Today's tour was blessed with the best tour guides and drivers.
We enjoyed a wonderful day in Jakarta with Mr. Jindo as our guide and Ms. Yoga as our driver, two very kind and courteous people. It was a good thing that we were able to go to places we would not have been able to go without our guide! Thank you very much.
とても丁寧な説明と愛想の良い対応で非常に満足しました!行きたい場所を効率よく回れるルートを考えて下さったり、ジャカルタの歴史についてすごく詳しく説明して下さり、学びの多い旅行となりました。 車に乗って移動するため、暑い中を歩くよりもとても涼しく、荷物も運んでくれたり、空港まで送ってくれたので、自分達だけで行動するよりも快適に観光できました。何より愛想が良く、陽気な方だったので、会話を通して仲良くなれて、最後にツアーガイドの奥さんから手編みのチャームもプレゼントしてもらい、とても温かい気持ちで旅を終えることができました!✨ I was extremely satisfied with the very thorough explanations and friendly service! The guide planned an efficient route that took us to all the places we wanted to visit and provided detailed explanations about Jakarta’s history, making it a very educational trip. Since we traveled by car, it was much cooler than walking in the heat. They carried our luggage and drove us to the airport, making our sightseeing much more comfortable than if we had gone on our own. Above all, they were so friendly and cheerful that we became good friends through our conversations. At the end, the tour guide’s wife even gave us a hand-knitted charm as a gift, allowing us to end our trip with a very warm feeling! ✨
Rico is a fantastic guide—super funny and knowledgeable. The itinerary was perfectly planned and seamless. If you're in Jakarta, don't miss out on this tour and Rico's expert guidance!
As a first-timer in Jakarta with zero local knowledge, Vera was an absolute lifesaver. To say she was 'helpful' doesn't do it justice. She made me feel completely at ease and taught me so many interesting things about the city. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Jakarta!
