5.00I had exactly one free day in Jakarta and wanted to see all the main sights. I signed up for this half-day sightseeing tour to the modern city and old town and it was the best thing I did. My guide was Hanny who was knowledgeable, curteous and fun to be around with. With our driver, we managed to pack in an incredible amount in a relatively short time period. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

5.00We booked a pick up from the port where the ship docked. Communication was excellent and Sari, our guide was waiting for us at the port. She explained everything about the sights we visited and tailored the trip to our needs. Sari had excellent english and was so enthusiastic and cheerful which further added to the day.

4.00This tour was convenient because of pickup at the cruise terminal. It hit the highlights given limited time in port and holiday vs. Jakarta's size and traffic. Sadly due to timing we were not able to enter the Istiqlal Mosque, nor the Cathedral (New Year's mass in progress). I was expecting just a puppet show at the Makutharama Puppet Studio stop, so was pleasantly surprised that it's more of a gallery with some exquisite offerings.
Ideal ride even if you have half a day for a stopover flight

4.00Pleasant tour, of modesty suitable for those like me who had only one day to spend in the city. It gives you an idea of the city and some of its typical attractions. The Hanny Guide very nice and nice, was exhaustive in the explanations. Despite the traffic we managed to see both the old and new city. Of course we did not visit museums, but the mosque did and the puppet factory. Recommended to spend half a day but if you have more time better full tours.
Great half day trip
