The absolute best way to see Jakarta and learn about it's history.... - An amazing experience. My guide Annysa was an expert. She told me all about Jakarta's history in an organized fashion. I learned a great deal about the city, its past and enjoyed the way she explained it. Very professional and very good at her jobl. Abi was a great driver, who nicely tipped the traffic volunteers who helped him navigate busy intersections. The tour was well put together, I saw all the places i wanted to see. Being born in Holland , it was nice to hear about the link of Holland with Indonesia and see the buildings that still stand these days.

Jakarta private tour - Jakarta is a,big city with a lot of poverty. The traffic is challenging and we had concetnd about getting back to our cruise terminal as our ship was scheduled to departure during rush hour so we had to cut the excursion short.

Halfway taste of Jakarta - Our guide Vicky and the driver arrived early, and that meant we got going promptly, which was great. Our driver's skill made us feel very comfortable throughout the trip. Vicky was friendly, but he didn't have quite the depth of knowledge we'd hoped for today, and when we looked back at the itinerary we didn't go to all the listed locations for example we didn't see or stop at the buddhist temple and we didn't really explore the harbor or get a good look at the wooden fishing boats as some of the photos for this tour suggested we might do. He didn't think to let us know where a toilet was or check if we needed a toilet stop along the way. We had already been to Monas, so we skipped going again. Our choice. The meal that was arranged was amazing. It was delicious and enough to feed 4 people so could easily have been scaled down and still amazing. The gift of coffee at the end was more than we'd expected, the souvenir trinket neiter here nor there, and it didn't make up for the hit and miss nature of the knowledge shared particularly having let our guide know of the interest in maritime history which if we'd been able to walk the waterfront would've been fantastic.

The details in your... - The details in your description should make it plain that 3 hours of the tour were travelling around Jakarta and most of the time spent at the mosque. The guide was very informative and explained things well.
