5.00Ditch the stress when you book this tour. Let your driver deal with the crazy traffic and the super knowledgeable guides show you the cool stuff in Jakarta. As a solo traveler, I felt super safe with my guide Haidar - he was like a buddy showing me around. We chatted about everything and anything, no topic was off-limits. It was a blast. Always awesome to learn more about the places you visit with a guide who's a total gentleman.
Highly recommended, inspirational, memorable tour through Old Jakarta, Batavia.

5.00Tour Guide Haidar comes truly highly recommended. His efforts and knowledge went beyond expectations. A great communicator. Appreciated was the time he made available, wherever we visited, relaxed, nothing felt rushed, I was able to take amazing photos because of it. The program was excellent too, it was so well balanced. It all came to life. The Old City of Jakarta is just so amazingly interesting and full of history and has super nice cafes related to it, not mentioned in my tourist guide book. With special thanks to excellent driver Cek Man, who contributed to it that things went seamlessly well. A joyful day.
Great trip and an even better guide

5.00I cannot say enough great things about oir guide Haidar and our driver Cakman. This trip was just my wife and I. Haidar was very knowledgeable, knows english very well, and was able to customize our experience. We really wanted to shop for spices and Haidar was able to accommodate that and was extremely helpful when working with various merchants on our purchases. We got to see numerous historical sites and learn a great deal about the history and culture that makes up Jakarta! Well worth it!

5.00We have a great day in Jakarta with guide Budi and driver Jonti (I am not sure of the spelling). The day went smoothly, taking into account changes due to a wedding at the cathedral and a meeting at the masjid. The lunch was delicious. The national museum is amazing. Highly recommended.
Great day for a quick tour.

5.00The schedule pick up time was very flexible. We started later due to late arrival. The operator was very accommodating. The guide, Ine, was knowledgeable of the city destination, and attentive to our every needs. The driver, Bayu, was a great driver, bringing us around without much trouble with the traffic. He knew the road junction traffic monitors very well, and they opened up the way for us to pass through easily. Overall, a good package for a quick tour of the city.
On-time tour…

4.00The tour was on-time, the guide Iffah is sweet and respectful. We understand that she is new to the job. I wish we have a tour guide who knows more about Jakarta geography, Indonesia history, and a real storyteller.
