Great city tour of Jakarta

Greg_L, Mar 2026
The tour guide spoke great English and was very knowledgeable and very quickly revised our schedule to meet our needs. He was personable & catered to our needs. The restaurant he choose was in of the best meals we have had in Indonesia. Just the desired level of detailed information & time at each site.

Full and fun day

Tom_W, Mar 2026
We had a great guide, Rizky with a driver. They were flexible with tweaks to starting and end time, and also accomodated the request for vegan food at lunch. We saw everything noted in the tour information, which was interesting and informative. The only stop that was somewhat underwhelming was the port. I feel we got a good understanding of Jarkarta's history, and a flavor into life there. I'll also note the reasonable price of this tour. We did something similar a few days earlier in Singapore, and it was about triple the price.

Thomas is the best

Carol_H, Jan 2026
This was the most informative tour we had after a full week of tours in Indonesia. Thomas knew so much about the history and culture and was happy to share with us. He also was great at finding bathrooms that were not mere holes in a floor with no paper! Really important for foreign tourists like us. We ended the day with a stop for souvenirs at a puppet art shop. This was worth it in our opinion. Much better quality items than elsewhere (including masks and some Batik). Note that Jakarta has bumper to bumper traffic so there is no way you will get to all the sights listed so choose where you want to prioritize as the day unfolds.

Nice tour

Thomas_B, Jan 2026
The tour was great, Gus was very knowledgeable and friendly, did a great job. Good selection of the city's highlights. What I didn't like was the car did not have seat belts for passengers. All cars used on tours should have seat belts.

Highlights of Jakarta

Prudence_W, Jan 2026
This tour gives a compact insight to the main cultural and historical aspects of Jakarta. Our Guide Gus was very informative and provided detailed explanations on the history of Indonesia. Jakarta is a city of contrast with colonial past and modern high rises beside each other. An interesting day tour.

Absolutely Phenomenal!!!

Masroor_M, Sep 2025
This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a tour guide. Catherine was knowledgeable, energetic, and such a joy to spend the day with. She explained everything clearly while keeping up with the pace of the tour. She was also incredibly adaptable and flexible with our needs. I’d highly recommend asking for Catherine if you book a tour with this company.

We would happily recommend the Jakarta city-tour, Isabella, and her driver!

Michael_H, Aug 2025
The operator, Ekaputra Tour, contacted us again the evening before via WhatsApp and very kindly informed us about the exact pick-up time and the dress code for the mosque visit the following day. The city tour started promptly at 8:00 a.m. from the hotel and ended there shortly before 4:00 p.m. Our guide, Isabella, and her driver were very accommodating and polite. The tour included everything promised. Isabella was very attentive, took all the time we needed, and guided us very competently through Jakarta. Her explanations of the country's history and culture were very detailed and in excellent English. She always had good answers to our many questions. We would happily recommend the Jakarta city-tour, Guide Isabella, and her driver!

Jakarta City Day Tour

John_B, Jul 2025
Had a great day touring around the city of Jakarta. My tour guide was Augurius (Gus). Gus arrived on-time and was very respectful. He’s very knowledgeable about Jakarta and Indonesia and answered my numerous questions. He provided excellent recommendations for lunch (met my culinary approval, especially the soup!). All-in-all, an excelkent tour!

This

Anisa_H, May 2025
Very worthwhile. I think a bit could be added and a bit could be taken away based on traveller's requirement. Did not like the Chinese market at all. It was quite an assault on the senses. Quite liked the temple though I wish there was an experienced guide to help you navigate the rituals. The library is something I really would have lived to visit and I am sure many traveller's would too. Alot to take in in one day. I would also suggest that the tout. Companies provide umbrellas. It is really hot and some shade is required

Avoid this tour

Janice_R, Mar 2025
Terrible experience. Spent most of the time in traffic. One of the most unpleasant city experiences I’ve ever had. Don’t bother!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Hello Janice, with all due respect, we apologize and are very sad that you didn't enjoy this tour. The day of your tour was the day before the Muslim Eid al-Fitr celebration in Jakarta, so traffic jams occurred at several points. This was beyond our prediction, especially the worst traffic jam in the afternoon when returning to your hotel because your hotel is in the Central Business District. We are happy because all the planned programs were successfully visited and you arrived at the hotel well. We apologize if our service standards do not meet your expectations. This will be a valuable lesson for us to improve our services. Hopefully, this will not be a bad memory for you about tourism in Indonesia. Thank you very much for your review.
