About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Z3747FPgiuliad0 contributionsGood experience of JakartaWell organized trip around the congested roads of Jakarta. Ferdy was an eccellent guide and with the driver Fendy picked up me and my friends directly at the airport as we requested. I recommend this tour to who wants to see the main attractions of Jakarta in few time.Written 14 October 2024
- Traveler229757961260 contributionsNice day in GiacartaThe guide (Ferdy) was very kind and friendly. He gave us a lot of information about the places we visited. I'm really satisfied with this experience, despite the traffic :)Written 14 October 2024
- giuseppelT7746HA0 contributionsGreat way to explore Jakarta in a short timeJakarta is a very busy city, therefore you will experience road traffic. Despite the crazy time spent in the van, the half day spent with Ferdy and Fendy was incredibly valuable. With an incredible enthusiasm and positive attitude, in this tour they will guide you through the old town, the modern and vibrant city, china town, the harbour, the lively squares and markets, and many monuments. 4 stars for Jakarta, 5 stars for the guides :)Written 14 October 2024
- P9307NGfarahn0 contributionsBest half day tourMs. Enok was my guide. She was great and friendly during the tour. She explained Indonesian culture, including languages and rituals. I had the finest half-day excursion!Written 14 October 2024

- krystalsT9359IP0 contributionsSuch a wonderful feeling to fly in the air.The paragliding was really fun and I would have loved to go twice. The tea plantation was beautiful and welcome tea was delicious. Being a new tour the tour guide was not as familiar with the places and provided little information but he was very friendly and had other pleasant conversations.Written 10 October 2024
- Mike M0 contributionsVery interesting and funVery interesting and informative tour. The guide Haider was very knowledgeable and friendly with excellent English. The fish market experience was something different and well worth doing but maybe don’t wear your best shoes! Restaurant then cooks your seafood you choose. Yummy! Overall I would highly recommend this tour.Written 10 October 2024
- Rich S0 contributionsGreat tour, amazing guideWe had an excellent time on this tour. The guide was very friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. He also was extremely accommodating due to a late arriving flight, and adjusted our tour accordingly. He earned our complete trust when he stopped a busy Jarkatan street with the wave of his hand, to make sure we could safely cross. If we are ever in Jakarta again we will certainly book with him again.Written 10 October 2024

Agung is a wonderful guide - knowledgeable, with very interesting insights and patient, making it a relaxing and enjoyable day trip.

A great option for solo travellers as you can go at your own pace, with freedom to decide where you want to go and what you’d like to see, and while feeling confident that you are in safe hands the whole trip.Written 5 October 2024
- mackbr10 contributionsA Nice ExcursionThis was a nice excursion outside the city. We enjoyed seeing the smaller town of Bodor, the beautiful rice field and waterfall park. The botanical garden was peaceful, but we expected many more flowers. The garden itself was mildly interesting. Our Guide was attentive and informative. The driver was experienced and provided safe transport in a comfortable vehicle. Lunch was delicious and other sites enjoyed as well.Written 30 September 2024

If you want to explore main attractions in Jakarta in a day, this program is the best choice. Guide will bring you to the cathedral, mosque, monas, china town, museum, old town with lunch at the famous restaurants “cafe batavia” and end with boat cruising at the old port. Rezky - the guide and Mirwan - the driver are so helpful and have service-minded. Overall, I have good memories in Jakarta.

A great way to get a grasp on Jakarta's cultural makeup, history, and significant buildings. Ideal for travellers with limited time, this tour covers the basics plus a few surprises for added sparkle.
Ferdy is a well informed, courteous, friendly, interested guide, who is keen to make his visitors happy. The driver was safe and reliable.
We visited the Catholic Cathedral, Independence Mosque, Independence Monument, Chinatown markets, tuktuk ride, puppet theatre workshop, historical museum in Old Batavia near the canal, had a terrific lunch at Cafe Batav6, and on to the Harbour. - that was a lot if ground coveted!
For me the day seemed to start off fairly flatly, but got more interesting the more we did.

An excellent guided tour with a gentleman named Firdaus (Ferdy). He made the tour enjoyable, especially in the Jakarta traffic. Also thanks to the driver, Mr. Syaiful who navigated through the Jakarta traffic safely. Visit to the Mosque ( Istiqlal ) was special, but the highlight was visiting the National Museum where I got to learn from Ferdy about the mix of different cultures and religions that make Indonesia so special. From Dutch, British, the Arabs to the Chinese and Indians and many more who came to Indonesia and made their home. This can be seen from the artifacts that are exhibited at the Museum. Extra special care was given with stop at Thamrin Plaza for some shopping for the family. Thank you for an excellent day. Very enjoyable and highly recommended. 10 of 10.

We had an amazing day in Jakarta with a charming young guide ( she works as a teacher), who gave us a lot of information about the places in Jakarta as well about general life in indonesia and history. We saw temples, china town, the big mosque, churches, indonesian puppet theater ( I love it!) , old town and had the chance to go for individual wishes.
So this tour was a good choice to pick a glance if Jakartas spirit.
And lunch in Cafe Batavia is also worth doing- full of historic charme and best kitchen - international and typical indonesian as well.

We got the old part in Jakarta, see hidden for poor people, who people live there. we were amazed with the city so complex with many cultures that people live in Jakarta since long time. Jakarta is busy and nice with many tallest buildings in central but so different in the north.
Fitri is our best guide and friendly, she knows what we need.

Ferdy was great! He and his driver picked us up right on time at our hotel and safely navigated the infamous no-rules traffic while we relaxed in air conditioning. We got to do everything we set out to do and spend time where we wanted. Our favorite highlights were China Town, the Tuktuk ride to old Batavia, the intimate and friendly hosted puppet studio, the fresh Jamu stop and lunch at Cafe Batavia. Ferdy made sure to get us a table by the windows overlooking the plaza so we could absorb the scenery and people watch. It was the best orientation to Jakarta we could have expected.

Ferdy, our guide, was knowledgeable, personable, spoke good English, and made every effort to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. He even surprised my husband with a special birthday dessert at the Batavia restaurant and also drove us to see lovely batik clothing at an upscale store. Our driver was amazing, too, patiently navigating the massive traffic. I highly recommend this heritage tour itinerary led by a truly wonderful guide.

We had a perfect day in Jakarta. Our tour guide Ine and her driver already waited for us as our ship arrived at the harbour. We got awesome impressions at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, a batik fabric - with no need to buy, Monas and Jakarta Old Town. We also had the chance to drive through Chinatown and do some shopping in a small supermarket. As foreign credit cards are often not accepted in those markets, Ine offered to pay with her credit card but we were prepared and had enough cash - but so many thanks for the offer!!! We loved to see how the puppets for the shadow puppetry were made and enjoyed a short performance. The whole trip was perfectly organized, we had lots of fun and reached our ship in time with no hurry.
We highly recommend this tour and thanks again to Ine, her driver and Ferdy for the organisation!!!
