The best of Jakarta! - Very comprehensive tour through the city. Chinatown was my favorite stop. The tour includes many governmental and religious places. Ms Rachel, the tour guide, did great job explaining the historical significance of each stop.

Tour with lovely local guide - Lovely tour with our guide Siti and driver Cek Man. We enjoyed Siti’s explanations on modern life in Jakarta and the history and local culture, and had a great lunch. Definitely recommend it, especially if you have little time but love to explore the city.

Wonderful, insightful introduction to Jakarta’s history and culture. - Requires a moderate (half-mile) amount of walking over generally level pavement, with one or two flights of stairs/steps. Water is provided by the guide, and you’ll need it. Jakarta is hot; you’ll want to have a hat, and scarf/handkerchief to wipe the sweat off your face. Guide and driver were an outstanding team—guide to provide background and insight at each of the tour highlights, and the driver to navigate Jakarta’s traffic, which to a westerner is overwhelming and chaotic. Guide let the tour proceed at my pace—less time at some locations, more when I wanted to linger at, for example, the wayang kulit workshop. There were unexpected treats, like being introduced to a Chinese tea ceremony at Patek Enam, and being given an introduction to how people worship at a Buddhist temple. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. It took about 5-6 hours altogether, and the price was very reasonable.

Great Jakarta city tour experience - My friend and I were in Jakarta for a short stay. Enok was our guide for the half day tour. She was knowledgeable and took the time to explain in detail every location that we visited. She even helped us take photos. Wonderful experience overall.

Don’t miss the puppet shop! - Very good driver and well-informed guide. My favorite part of the tour was the traditional puppet shop in the old town. Three generations of the same family have been making and collecting puppets.
