An amazing tour of Jakarta with Hanny & driver Man. Hanny couldn’t have been more accommodating and ensured we saw all the key sights in Jakarta. Knowledgeable and went above and beyond our expectations. Thoroughly recommend the tour.

This is a good way to see a little bit of the city, while on business trip with tight schedule. In 4 hours we saw the main attractions of Jakarta and the guide was very knowledgeable in local history. Interesting and well planned! Fitri was an excellent guide, time was well spent!
Very nice tour around Jakarta

Nice tour, but tends to take a little longer than stated (unpredictable traffic). I had the specified number of hours available and we had to hurry, sometimes we just looked out of the window. But it was still very nice, very informative and the guide was great!
The best of Jakarta!

Very comprehensive tour through the city. Chinatown was my favorite stop. The tour includes many governmental and religious places. Ms Rachel, the tour guide, did great job explaining the historical significance of each stop.
Wonderful, insightful introduction to Jakarta’s history and culture.

Requires a moderate (half-mile) amount of walking over generally level pavement, with one or two flights of stairs/steps. Water is provided by the guide, and you’ll need it. Jakarta is hot; you’ll want to have a hat, and scarf/handkerchief to wipe the sweat off your face. Guide and driver were an outstanding team—guide to provide background and insight at each of the tour highlights, and the driver to navigate Jakarta’s traffic, which to a westerner is overwhelming and chaotic. Guide let the tour proceed at my pace—less time at some locations, more when I wanted to linger at, for example, the wayang kulit workshop. There were unexpected treats, like being introduced to a Chinese tea ceremony at Patek Enam, and being given an introduction to how people worship at a Buddhist temple. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. It took about 5-6 hours altogether, and the price was very reasonable.
