“Best 'looks' of Jakarta within the day!”
I was able to experience Jakarta like a local, having tried out their local dishes, listened to the stories of Jakarta and Indonesia through Ratih. We walked around the sites within Chinatown, visited some of the authentic places in Jakarta, had a quick boat ride around the harbour and so much more. I was very happy that I got to understand the city in such depth within only 7 hours. Ratih and the local driver were amazing and I'd not hesitate to travel with Ratih when back in Indonesia again!
“Excellent Day in Jakarta”
Ratih was very knowledgeable and provided great insights into the culture and history of Indonesia and Jakarta. Some museums were closed and she provided interesting alternatives. She is flexible to accommodate customer preferences and issues like closed museums. Recommended.

“Excellent guide”
Ratih was a superb guide. She helped us assemble a custom tour of several Jakarta museums and the TMII cultural theme park. She was very communicative, diligent in researching admission times/prices and driving times, and extremely flexible about last-minute substitutions. She provided historical, statistical, and personal context to help us understand Indonesia. And she and her driver helped us pull off the whole itinerary right on schedule, despite Jakarta traffic. Highly recommended.
