Unforgettable Batavia: Half-Day Jakarta Old City & Lunch Tour

A fantsstic tour, taking in Jakarta's principal views with a knowledgeable and friendly guide and an efficient driver, expertly navigating Jakarta's famously dense traffic that allowed us to see the many different faces and sights of Jakarta in half a day.

Fantastic experience. The car was clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned, such a relief from the heat. Both the driver and guide were very polite and respectful, even opened the doors for us, such a polite and respectful gesture that we really appreciated as ladies. The tour was just the right length, not too short and not too long, with clear and interesting explanations throughout. Our guide, Agusto was positive, helpful, and genuinely fun to be around. He wasn’t just nice to us, but also incredibly friendly and outgoing with everyone we met along the way. It felt like he knew everyone. Thanks to him, we had such a great day and left with a really good impression of the country. If you get him as your guide, you’re very lucky 😊

I would highly recommend this tour when in Jakarta! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and we had a really fun day with Mr August!

Absolutely loved it. Amazing tour. Really nice tour guide. He speaks English well and explained everything nicely. Loved the nice souvenir. The lunch was really delicious.

An amazing experience. My guide Annysa was an expert. She told me all about Jakarta's history in an organized fashion. I learned a great deal about the city, its past and enjoyed the way she explained it. Very professional and very good at her jobl. Abi was a great driver, who nicely tipped the traffic volunteers who helped him navigate busy intersections. The tour was well put together, I saw all the places i wanted to see. Being born in Holland , it was nice to hear about the link of Holland with Indonesia and see the buildings that still stand these days.

Our guide Vicky and the driver arrived early, and that meant we got going promptly, which was great. Our driver's skill made us feel very comfortable throughout the trip. Vicky was friendly, but he didn't have quite the depth of knowledge we'd hoped for today, and when we looked back at the itinerary we didn't go to all the listed locations for example we didn't see or stop at the buddhist temple and we didn't really explore the harbor or get a good look at the wooden fishing boats as some of the photos for this tour suggested we might do. He didn't think to let us know where a toilet was or check if we needed a toilet stop along the way. We had already been to Monas, so we skipped going again. Our choice. The meal that was arranged was amazing. It was delicious and enough to feed 4 people so could easily have been scaled down and still amazing. The gift of coffee at the end was more than we'd expected, the souvenir trinket neiter here nor there, and it didn't make up for the hit and miss nature of the knowledge shared particularly having let our guide know of the interest in maritime history which if we'd been able to walk the waterfront would've been fantastic.

Great experience. Knowledgeable guide and very pleasant driver. Highly recommend the guide, driver and itinerary. The vehicle was very comfortable. Great way to see the highlights of the city and old city.

This was an excellent, informative tour. Our guide and driver were very professional and couretous. We saw the highlights of the city in a cool, convenient car, tasted an authentic lunch, and returned to the ship in a timely manner.

Jakarta is a,big city with a lot of poverty. The traffic is challenging and we had concetnd about getting back to our cruise terminal as our ship was scheduled to departure during rush hour so we had to cut the excursion short.

The details in your description should make it plain that 3 hours of the tour were travelling around Jakarta and most of the time spent at the mosque. The guide was very informative and explained things well.
