Perfect introduction to Jakarta!

Had a great day trip with Fajar our guide - perfect tour for two people new to Jakarta and with limited time before moving on to elsewhere in Indonesia. We visited all the main sites, and Fajar gave us a perfect overview of Jakarta's history and development, including answering our many questions. Highly recommended trip!

Great Introduction to Jakarta with a Great Guide and Outstanding Comfy Van

We had a great time on this full-day tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Jakarta. It was an excellent way to see all of the city's major sights while also driving through many different neighborhoods, giving us a much better feel for the city as a whole. Our guide, Thomas, was great. He shared plenty of interesting information about each site we visited, while also providing great insight into Indonesia's history, culture, and daily life. His commentary really added to the experience. One thing that truly stood out, though, was the tour vehicle. The van was simply amazing—it had the most comfortable seats I've ever had on a tour, and it made a full day of sightseeing so much more enjoyable. It was easily the best tour vehicle we've experienced, and after taking several more tours throughout Indonesia, it became clear that most companies don't invest in vehicles of this quality. Huge credit to this company for recognizing how much of a difference that makes. Overall, this was an excellent tour with a knowledgeable guide, a well-planned itinerary, and exceptional transportation. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comprehensive introduction to Jakarta.
