Unforgettable Jakarta: Private Half-Day Local Secrets Tour

I did the cultural tour of Indonesia. We visited all the major sites and attractions on Jakarta. Ivan was an excellent tour guide and Cek my driver was also fantastic. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the history and culture of Indonesia

Amazing tour!!! That's what we were looking for. Excellent quality and Our guide and driver were very helpful. Very recommended

Haidar was an excellent guide. He explained that the “Miniature” park was built by Suharto for his wife after she visited Disneyland. It includes examples of typical houses from many different regions/islands of Indonesia. It is a lot like Epcot at Disney World, but focuses on Indonesia. At our request, we also stopped at a puppet maker who showed us how the famous Indonesian shadow puppets are made. Short visits at the Old Town, Independence Monument, etc. The flexibility of the private tour compared to the bus tours offered by the cruise line and lower price make this a much better option. Our visit was during Ramadan and the access road to the port (we were on a cruise) was gridlocked and we ended up walking the last half-mile to the ship past dozens of stopped tractor-trailers loaded with cargo containers.

Good tour. Good guide and driver. Explained a lot of history and a lot of facts. Would recommend this tour.

We are traveling as a family of 5. Our guide Fitri and driver Wawan gave us a memorable and enjoyable tour of Jakarta. For a half day tour, they packed in a lot for us to see. The highlights for us are visits to the wayang shadow puppet maker and master, the national monument, old Batavia, pelabuhan Sunda Kelapa and Taman Mini. Because it’s a private tour so it’s quite flexible. We were able to spend a bit of time at the puppet master studio and learned the process of making a puppet. Wayang puppet was designated to be a UNESCO heritage. Our guide Fitri has a deep knowledge of Jakarta and Indonesia, its history and culture. She brought into life Jakarta’s long history of Dutch rule. She is also a very friendly and warm person. And I don’t even know how Wawan can drive in the Jakarta traffic. It’s quite amazing to see him maneuvering the sea of cars, motorcycles and people! The tour is perfect for everyone who has a short time but want to see a quick overview of Jakarta. I highly recommend it!

Enok is a wonderful guide. She share so much about her country. Our driver, Indra was very safe in extreme traffic and a rain storm. We were taken to all the interesting sights to give us a glimpse of the Indonesian culture. They were able to work within the time we had from our cruise ship. An excellent way to spend our time in Jakarta.

Our guide Ine was knowledgable and helpful explaining not just the itenary but also Indonesian and Jakarta culture , cuisine, recommendations on food which was all great and helpful

My guide, Ferdy, was amazing. Very knowledgeable and shared so much of Indonesia’s rich history with me. He really took good care of me for the day, making sure I was enjoying myself and showing me things he thought I would find interesting. Really can’t be more glad I decided to do this tour!

Ms. Enok was my guide. She was great and friendly during the tour. She explained Indonesian culture, including languages and rituals. I had the finest half-day excursion!

We had an excellent time on this tour. The guide was very friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. He also was extremely accommodating due to a late arriving flight, and adjusted our tour accordingly. He earned our complete trust when he stopped a busy Jarkatan street with the wave of his hand, to make sure we could safely cross. If we are ever in Jakarta again we will certainly book with him again.
