It was a really nice tour. Our tour guide, Ms. Eti, is very knowledgeable about the local food. She took the three of us to food courts, street food stalls, and restaurants to try the delicious local cuisine. She introduced the ingredients and history of the foods she recommended, and they were all yummy. We also discussed the different food cultures of Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, China, and Colombia. As a Chinese person, I was happy to discover that some local foods are influenced by Chinese cuisine. I even tried a Bajaj (a three-wheeled vehicle in Jakarta), which I had never had the confidence to try before. Now, I also feel more confident about trying local street food.

This walking tour is not cheap but the reviews were good. We wanted a private tour so we booked it. It's certainly worth the money. The price includes lots of extras (boat ride, museum entry, drink, trying herbal teas, visit to wayang puppet master). We had a very knowledgeable guide and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the old town and harbour.

This was a fantastic way to see many different parts of Jakarta in one day - there's no way I would have been able to do this on my own. Eti was very knowledgable, as well as being really fun to spend the day with. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to discover more of the city but doesn't have a lot of time.

Great Tour I had 2 days with Etti which gave me better aspects and a better view regarding Jakarta, the tythem of the city, the culture, the food and the people. Etti was very professional and took me to all main attractions in Jakarta. The second day was a half day tour in Jakarta China Town. Once i come again to Jakarta i will definately hire Jakarta walking tour again to see more of Jakarta and also outside the metropolin. Thank you

Great walking tour in Jakarta We had a fabulous day tour with Eti around the best spots of old Jakarta. Half an hour early she was waiting for us at the lobby. It was Sunday - a free cars morning, so we started our trip on a funny trem transportation. We went straight to Old Batavia. Eti let us know everything about the history of Jakarta. we visited the national museum and We had time to go to the post office to send home a nice postcards. we haven’t done this for ages!! We had a tea break on a beautiful places for refresh and we had lunch on a good Chinese restaurant. We were so full that we wouldn’t be able to try the snacks at Chinatown. The highlight for us was I unexpected …we loved to visit the puppet shop. The owner, a puppet artisan, where so friendly and gentle to us, that made a short and improvised puppet show just for us. Eti was very nice and knowledgeable. We recommend absolutely a day walking tour when visiting Jakarta with this company.

Really interesting and great value Yupa our guide for the day was excellent. We learnt so much about this really interesting city and had fun too. Highlights include the special drink making and visit to the puppeteers workshop. A brilliant day where we saw things a normal tourist would have missed. Highly recommended and great value too.
