Great Way to See Highlights of Jakarta

Published on Nov, 2024

Our half day tour of Jakarta, with Russel as our guide, was excellent! We only had a short time in Jakarta so it enabled us to see key sites with interesting and friendly commentary. Our driver was skilled and the car comfortable. Highly recommend.

We had a great morning visiting the most important places of Jakarta. Our guide Catherine was great, she knew so much.

Published on Nov, 2024

Top guide with a top tour. Our guide cathrine knew everything about the places and could answer the questions.

Outstanding visit to a. Charming city.

Published on Nov, 2024

Catherine's insights were extremely helpful. The sites we visited were great and well worth the ti.e to visit The national monument, mosque, catholic church were beautiful. We got a couple of great items from the puppet factory and saw a little show. The old harbor was facinating seeing all the old ships that are used to transport goods fro. Isle to isle.

Private car tour in Jakarta

Published on Nov, 2024

Our guide Tio was excellent! He was friendly and knowledgeable. He also pushed my husband’s wheelchair for the trip. Bono was our driver and he navigated the traffic well. I would highly recommend this private tour over the cruises more expensive bus tour.

Amazing Tour & Guide

Published on Nov, 2024

My daughter and I wanted to get away from the cruise tours offered, so we booked this tour and we are SO GLAD we did. Our tour guide- Beni and our driver- Mr Nico- were just fabulous. We loved the national monument and both the Mosque and Cathedral were lovely. Old town has its charm- but we had seen this the day before- so Beni took us and showed us other parts of the city. His English was amazing- especially since he learned English through YouTube! Would definitely suggest this tour and request Beni- an extremely hard working young man who really touched my daughter’s and my heart!
