5.00Jakarta has a lot of traffic. But you get through it. The PKI 1 is a great place to eat dinner, and get a pic of the Pagoda. Visit PKI 2 at night, and see the lights on the bridge change.
Enok was a great tour...

An evening in Jakarta

5.00The tour I selected was not so special rather the company of the Guide Siti who was the best guide I hv ever met travelling all along the world . She was very informative, a very sound knowledge of history, culture of different country was beyond my belief and also very proficient in English . The driver Syamsui was ever courteous and hence the company of them both made the tour and an evening of outing in Jakarta worthwhile . As with the tour they will cover all the places of the itinerary but be ware of the traffic in Jakarta .
Very interesting tour.

4.00Very interesting tour. We were picked up at ships dock by our guide 'Borneo'. He and his driver expertly weaved their way through the congested streets of Jakarta to arrive at 'Old' Chinatown. An interesting assortment of storefronts some with some very old cabinetry reminiscent of times past. We walked through a maze of alleys lined with vendors of various wares toward an old Buddhist shrine which unfortunately had burned down and has been replaced by a temporary structure - but still interesting. From there we moved to the Dutch Old Town and walked the old plaza surrounded by administrative buildings from the time of Dutch rule. We then drove to PIK Avenue - wow what a difference. This is modern and organized section of the city vastly different from the ramshackle old city with its dense population and heavy traffic. This is where you'll find the Pagoda shown in the ad for this tour. Lastly, we visited the fish market. For me it was the most interesting part of the tour because it was different from most other markets I've visited in Asia. A huge market brimming with all kinds of fish of both fresh and saltwater. Trucks were constantly arriving with new catch. Others were leaving loaded with their purchases. Thousands of vendors, lots of activity. A visual feast. Our guide. Borneo was entertaining and showed us a good time.
Awesome and insightful

5.00Very interesting and informative tour. The guide Haider was very knowledgeable and friendly with excellent English. The fish market experience was something different and well worth doing but maybe don’t wear your best shoes! Restaurant then cooks your seafood you choose. Yummy! Overall I would highly recommend this tour.

5.00My wife and I had only an afternoon in Jakarta before heading to Bali and were able to book this tour on short notice. Communications with the company were prompt and direct. Our guide, Ms Enok arrived promptly at the agreed upon time at our hotel. The driver, Rishwan, did a great job navigating us thru the busy streets. Ms Enok was delightful and an excellent guide. We had a wonderful time. Highly recommend Enok and this tour!
