Batik is a traditional art form in Indonesia, and the word batik is thought to be derived from the word ‘ambatik’ which translated means ‘a cloth with little dots’.

Batik is a traditional art form in Indonesia, and the word batik is thought to be derived from the word ‘ambatik’ which translated means ‘a cloth with little dots’. The suffix ‘tik’ means little dot, drop, point or to make dots. It is a technique of wax-resist dyeing applied fabric. Batik is made either by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool called a canting, or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a cap. The applied wax resists dyes and therefore allows the artisan to colour selectively by soaking the cloth in one colour, removing the wax with boiling water, and repeating if multiple colours are desired Now the technique of batik can be found not only on fabric but also on wooden handicrafts and other media. If you love the intricacy and history of Batik, then you should try your hand at learning the process. There you will learn how to draw Batik pattern, using the canting (bamboo scoop used for applying wax in cloth), and coloring the Batik.

Outstanding Guide and DayExploring Jakarta - Outstanding Guide
Raihan, our personal guide, and Hardy, our driver, made lasting memories for us on our second day in Jakarta. Easy pick-up at the cruise pier. Enjoyed the Textiles Museum where we made our own beginner batik pieces, saw amazing batik fabrics, and bought authentic batik from the on-site shop. Visited places of worship and had an authentic Indonesian lunch. Raihan (“Ryan”) is an amazing young man. Excellent English skills and insights beyond his years. Delightful and enlightening day.

Beautiful Batik - This was a wonderful tour in every way. Alie is a very good and conscientious driver(this is the second time he has driven me on a tour, and this second time just confirms my first impression!) and August After July was a very good tour guide. His English was terrific, and his ability to communicate the nuances of Indonesian history and culture was something I really appreciated. The chance to make my own batik in the beautiful textile museum was really special, as was the tour of the museum itself. I enjoyed the other stops even though we were unable to enter either the mosque(it was Friday!) or the cathedral (there was a wedding!). Just seeing them from the outside with an informative narrative was good. Lunch was delicious (I really LOVE nasi goreng, and trying the fried gourami, fried mushrooms, and kampung chicken was a treat) I highly et his trip and this organization. Thank you!

Great time in Jakarta - Perfect from start to finish! Vicky sent messages so we would know exactly where to find him when we arrived in port. From the port to the Textile Museum he shared interesting facts about the sights we passed by. But not too much so that I didn’t feel overwhelmed
The Textile Museum was great. We got make our own batik sample.
Istiqlal Mosque is impressive. Vicky shared the best photo vantage points
Ardi was a fabulous driver! I felt safe in the hectic Jakarta traffic.

Great tour experience in Jakarta with Annisa and Hendi! - I enjoyed a great day touring around Jakarta with Annisa! She was very friendly and knowledgeable, and provided interesting information about the history and culture of the area.
It was fun to try the batik workshop and view the beautiful designs in the museum. As a solo traveler it was also nice that she took some great photos for me.
Our driver, Hendi, was safe and courteous, and he patiently waited for us at each stop. The car was clean and comfortable to relax and enjoy the sites between destinations.
We enjoyed a tasty, local lunch together before being dropped off back at my hotel. Annisa and Hendi took care of everything to ensure a great experience, and gave a sweet gift at the end of our day.

Experience of a lifetime - This was an experience of a lifetime that I’ll never forget. I’m a textile enthusiast and going to this museum is such a treat! My tour guide, Mr. Fiky, is superb! He spoke excellent English and translated everything for me. It was fun talking to him about the fabric, techniques, and history. The driver, Mr. Ogi took pictures and videos of my batik experience and made an awesome video for me to share on my instagram account. For lunch there was a miss communication about my dietary restrictions and Mr.Fiky fixed that for me. He found a place that made a delicious vegan meal. I still dream about that meal!! Afterwards my guide took me to the cathedral church, mosque, and other national landmark. We talked about the architecture and historical figures that shaped the landscape. I’ll never forget this experience and thank y’all so much for taking care of me!!!
