Excellent tour experience

Published on Mar, 2024

My shared tour got converted to a private tour as I was the only one for the tour today - and boy that was the best thing that happened. Fifi is one of the best tour operators I have been with. She takes her job seriously and she knows her stuff. She gets into detail of every location and tries her best to give the truest picture of history. The best part about the tour is that you get to see the actual city on foot and train and you not just limited to a car which takes you places. Keep it up Fifi. Until next time.

Jakarta Highlights tour

Published on Feb, 2024

A superb tour in all respects; Fifi is incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable about both contemporary Jakarta and Indonesian history. Her friendliness, honesty and diplomacy were a credit to her. The tour was well planned and the use of the local train to cross town for example made the use of our time very efficient. A great tour to orientate you to navigating the city if its your first time here. Fifi offers several tours outside of Jakarta also, and her English is brilliant. Very happy.

Great way to see the city highlights

A great first time in Jakarta

Published on Sep, 2023

I had a great time with Fifi, she's very knowledgeable about the history of Jakarta and Indonesia, things to do, sights to see, a very gentle and likeable person and went out of her way to make me have a great time in this first time I was seeing the city. After meeting her I feel more confident to explore on my own. I really recommend her tour. Thank you Fifi for the wonderful time!
