It was a nice half-day trip, we picked up by Andy (driver) and Bryan (guide) who were there in our hotel on-time. We learned a lot of Indonesia and Jakarta's history, Bryan explained the history very well. Our favourite was the Monas and if's diorama. The Istiqlal mosque was very impressive. The Cathedral was "so so" and nothing special (especially if you're from Europe or been in Europe). The Wayang/doll-house was also good to buy souvenirs. However, the Sunda Kelapa Harbour trip was something that could've been skipped or changed with another destination. There was nothing to see there, just the sea-water level that's higher compared to Jakarta. And the wooden ship there is not maintained, super dirty water, and super sunny/hot. The surrounding is also like slums. Overall, it's recommended to take the tour with them, everything is well organised.

Brilliant day! Vincent was a great guide and Mr Toto an excellent driver. Long day but made some good friends on the trip. Volcano is the highlight of the trip, but it’s excellent seeing the rice fields and coffee making process. The day was well paced and broke up the long drive well. The sudden heavy rain during dinner didn’t spoil the fun and relaxation of the hot springs. Well worth taking this trip and seeing what Indonesia has to offer.

Nabila was a five-star guide all the way. Personable, welcoming and a wealth of knowledge. I was very happy to sample a few things that were already on my Indonesian to-do list, but she also turned me on to a few things (like stmj bakar) that I might never have tried otherwise. I recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your trip.

Wonderful cross section of Jakarta! Jeffry our guide and Tail our driver were fantastic. We could never drive with all the scooters zipping between the cars, Tail did an amazing job. Jeffry provided amazing insights and answered our endless questions. Can’t recommend this tour more highly.

Tasha was an exceptional guide. She tailor our activity to what we wanted to do. She and our driver we so much fun to spend time around the city with. We took in all the sights, learned so much, and ate delicious food. Would highly recommend!
