About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- hengkil20250 contributionsAmazing Experience in JakartaVery highly recommended tour guide with Anissa. Her English is really good and very friendly. She tried her best to give us the best service. Unfortunately we are not able to come closer to Monas as they are closed on Monday. Hopefully can see more next time. Other than that we had such a great time. Thank Anissa.Written February 10, 2025

- 716craigr0 contributionsThank you for being available.We booked this trip through TripAdvisor instead of using the ship excursions. Sadly the weather was too windy and high seas so the captain was advised to not enter the port due to safety so he made the decision to cancel the visit. We alerted Giscard an hour and a half before we were expected to arrive. He communicated that he could not refund because he had already paid the driver, rented the car and paid the restaurant. I had pressed him to refund 50% in fairness but we decided to not accept a refund. Thank you Giscard for being available and willing. Maybe we can see you next time we are in the area.Written January 28, 2025

My half-day trip in Jakarta with tour guide August and driver Ali was an exceptional experience. August's in-depth knowledge, passion for history, and engaging storytelling made every location come alive. Ali's safe and comfortable driving ensured a seamless journey throughout the day. Together, they created an itinerary that perfectly captured the essence of Jakarta's history, culture, and religious diversity.
I highly recommend August and Ali to anyone seeking an insightful and enjoyable tour of Jakarta. Their professionalism, expertise, and warm personalities make them an outstanding team. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, they will ensure you have an unforgettable experience in this vibrant city.

Half day tour to see Jakarta sights , as always the traffic was horrendous but Isabel our knowledgeable guide, made the time speed by . We asked if we could visit the chinatown area and would have enjoyed spending more time exploring there . The trip included a long introduction to Shadow puppets making and a show which was fascinating. The tour was at a comfortable pace . There was an issue with ticketing for the museum which we eventually gained entrance to but could have easily missed . The old wooden schooners still in use were just old junks however we had the opportunity to see the effect of sinking land and effect of rising sea levels plus local feral kitties .Overall the tour was good , it included a local lunch which some of us enjoyed , pick up from the port in a comfortable 8 -9 seater , and it gave a brief introduction to historical Jakarta . The huge mosque was just spectacular. On our return we asked if we could be dropped off at the shopping mall that the cruise ship had a free shuttle meeting point . There were 7 of us and we did save by doing this tour independently from the cruise line tours. The included gift was a nice surprise and appreciated.

Fascinating tour. We had a delayed start because I had booked at midnight for a 9am tour, but although the computer had confirmed, the company were only alerted about the time we were expecting to be picked up. They let us know that we would have a delayed start which was not a problem. Because of the traffic our driver Okra (apologies if the spelling is wrong) picked us up and delivered us to our guide Ms Nety at the museum. He was able to chat in very good English and essentially start the tour. We had a full tour of the museum and learn a lot about the history and culture of Indonesia. We saw a rounded version of Jakarta on the tour, from the most modern to the most basic and finished with a greater understanding of where we were. We particularly enjoyed the traditional puppets and seeing the skills required. The Chinatown market was a real experience and makes one appreciate how lucky we are in our lives. In the end the traffic was so congested that we asked to miss off visiting the mosque and cathedral, which was a shame but we had seen so much that we were ready to get back to our hotel and reduce further car journeys. I recommend the tour, but be prepared for a lot of time in the car going between the different parts.

My partner and I booked the half day tour, paid for it and recieved a booking confirmation to be collected at 9am. We've been waiting for multiple hours outside our accommodation and never got picked up by the driver. There has been no response from the company or driver (we have tried multiple times to contact them). The company seems to be happy to take our money and not give us the tour that we booked.

I'm very pleased with our tour guide Mdm Fitri. Even though we booked our tour itinerary on a short notice(just less than 2 hours before the start), Fitri came to pick us up from our hotel with her driver Bang-Bang on time. Throughout the tour proper, she was patient and was very knowledgeable to answer whatever questions/doubts we had. The Student Intern, Arba at the Museum was very impressive too. We had a wonderful lunch too with a good spread. Overall we had a much thorough insights of the heritage & history of Indonesia 🇮🇩.
Everything was lovely. Thank you!! 😊

Great service from Joy and Rami. Easy airport pick up, and clean, spacious car with air con! First stop the old port, then round the old town where I got some information on Indonesia's colonial past. We stopped at a puppet shop and had a talk about the different types of puppets and a short performance. Then a delicious and filling local lunch, the Cathedral and Mosque. Finished up at the National Monument and was dropped off where I am staying. Fun and friendly tour with excellent communication from the company

A great 5 hour tour of a few key sites around Jakarta. Agus’s spoke good English and was very knowledgeable about Jakarta’s history both recent and the past. It is hard in just 5 hours to see a large city, but Agus did great job giving me a flavour of what the city holds. I can highly recommend.

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

We had an incredible night tour of Jakarta that included a visit to the puppet artisan workshop and a surprise puppet show. Isabella, our guide, was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. The walk around the city was enlightening and left me with a deeper appreciation for Jakarta's culture and history. Highly recommend!

After arriving at the airport, we had to wait for an hour at the airport train station due to a bad connection, and we were about 15 minutes late for the meeting time of the private tour.
But the tour guide welcomed us very pleasantly and said, "Don't worry about it.
The tour was very fulfilling, and the guide was very enjoyable.
He even honored our request to stop at Cafe Batavia for coffee, which we wanted to do, and we had the best memories ever!
