Fabulous customized tour - The visit was excellent. Mey was knowledgeable, pleasant and very helpful. I had only a short time to see some sites and needed to customize my day. She adjusted to meet my needs and I loved it. Agus the driver did a great job as well. Highly recommend!

Quick and excellent tour of the city and all of its wonder - Quick and thorough tour of the city. Had I have had more time I would, I would’ve taken the full day tour. So much to see. The guide was super friendly spoke English very clearly and was able to provide a lot of history about the city and his country. Highly recommend.

Jakarta - rain, traffic and super guide and driver - We spent our day with guide Hertin and driver Ledy. It was a great day, full of information and answers to our many questions by our patient guide Hertin. The traffic was bad, rain poured while we were in the car, but both are standard for Jakarta. Ledy manoeuvred the streets expertly. Hertin was super organized as we were able to bypass all lineups for tickets and for entrances. Viator has never disappointed us yet!!!

Wonderful guide makes all the difference - So happy that WHENY was our guide. She has had extensive experience assisting foreign dignitaries etc., and her vast knowledge, friendliness, greatly added to our experience in this hectic city. We were able to customize and change the itinerary as needed during this New Years Day tour. Wheny was superb. We have traveled extensively in the past 40 years, are now convinced that the private tours are now invaluable - especially when you have a great guide.

Fast, considerate, punctual - Since the booking phase the agency has proved helpful, fast and considerate in meeting and advising us in our need. Having asked for an addition to the half-day tour immediately they provided us with useful information and satisfied us. On time. Thanks to Vincent, our guide, who kindly translated the explanations into Italian.

Jakarta Highlights - This tour was exactly what I wanted and what made it interesting was the guide, Saif. He modified the trip on the fly for me, bypassing stops I decided I didn't want to see, and adding others to give me a flavor of the hustle and bustle of Jakarta. Saif was knowledgeable and fun as he shared information.

Top - Very professional and a nice trip overall. Mey was a great guide and the traffic in Jakarta wasn’t as bad as I thought, maybe because it was January 1st and people weren’t working.
