All Jakarta Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 2

Great intro to many physical and cultural aspects of the city - old and new areas, history, mosque and cathedral, puppet making demonstration. Our guide Gibran set a relaxed flexible pace (it was pretty hot!) and was very knowledgeable. There were many points of interest and photo opportunities.

This private tour is excellent if you have only a day to visit Jakarta. Bryan, an enthusiatic young man was our tour guide along with Andy, who drove us to the places. The minivan was too big for a group of three, but very comfortable. Bryan accommodated our request to start half an hour later as we were running late. Bryan was very thorough in explainjng the history of Indonesia and the significance of the places we visited. He is polite, knowledgeable ad an excellent guide. Highly recommended.

During business trip from the U.S., first time in Indonesia, I went on a half-day Jakarta tour with the highly knowledgeable guide Thomas. It was a highly enjoyable and informative tour, we covered all major sites including independence square, national museum, main cathedral, world’s 3rd largest mosque, old town and port, even the shadow puppet theater and a historic Batavia Cafe. I learned a tremendous amount from Thomas, the narrative was fun, a new air conditioned car was skillfully driven by driver Andy, and I had time and help buying souvenirs and trying local coffee and amazing pastries (yuzu meringue is my favorite). Thomas took excellent pictures of me that I sent to my kids. This was a memorable experience that made me feel like a local, and got me to appreciate Jakarta and its warm, welcoming people. I highly recommend this tour to travelers interested in experiencing Jakarta’s hidden gems and spending enjoyable four hours without strenuous walking or riding public transport in the heat.
