Jakarta revisited - We returned to Jakarta with our children and their partners after 35 years. Mr. August, our guide, and his extremely patient driver did an amazing job locating our old haunts and introducing our adult kids to the marvelous chaos that is Jakarta. We were extremely pleased that they modified the tour to include locating our old home, which was no small feat! Another highlight of the tour was our visit to the Makutharama Puppet Studio. Our group was fascinated to see first hand how the puppets are crafted and enjoyed the impromptu wayang kulit performance. We also soaked in the ambiance at Fatahillah Square and the Cafe Batavia, and marveled at the scale and serenity of Istiqlal Mosque. Jakarta has undergone an amazing transformation in the past three decades, yet still had the same familiar feeling of being a large urban village. We felt very fortunate to see the city anew with such a knowledgeable and personable guide as Mr. August! Terima kasih!

A good tour with knowledgable guide and good driver in a private car - This is a good half day trip to orientate around old Batavia (Jakarta). My guide, Mr Julfrid was very knowledgable and had lots of information on culture and history of West Java and Indonesia. Traffic is always bad, so our driver expertly kept us on schedule. The puppet maker was closed today, so we had a longer walk around the central area. The lunch was excellent (quality and choice) and I was the only European in an Indonesian restaurant, as place was used by local people (which shows it was good). The mosque and cathedral were good visits. Jakarta has a lot of infrastructure developments so traffic is always bad. So be ready to be flexible. Thank you

Perfect Half-Day Tour - I had a wonderful time on my half day tour with guide Annisa. The car we went around in was clean and spacious, and it was wonderful not having to think or navigate Jakarta traffic on my own! We saw a lot in just half a day, and I really enjoyed the traditional Indonesian lunch we had towards the end of the trip. Highly recommend!

Jakarta private tour - 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... - 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.

No Show. - Book a tour for my partner and I. Tour didn't arrive, tried to contact them both through the website and via phone call and there was no answer. Doesn't help that the customer service is closed on a Sunday.
