"I had a fantastic tour of Jakarta with Eri! She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience truly enjoyable. What I appreciated most was how she tailored the tour to my personal interests — it felt unique, relevant, and thoughtfully curated. Her explanations were clear and informative, giving great insight into the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems.
If you’re visiting Jakarta and want a personalised, insightful tour with someone who genuinely cares about making your day special, I highly recommend Eri!"
"Eri is awesome, and punctual and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend for any of her tours. I would have liked to see more variety of food, was kind of heavy on fried and dough. I'd suggest to her what you are looking for, she will make it happen!"
"We were pleased that Eri was able to pick us up from our hotel near the airport. She said that would work because it was Sunday and traffic would be lighter. I have no doubt she would have recommended the traiin if she thought that would make better use of our time. She was very accommodating to my specific requests, taking me to a small out-of-the-way buddhist temple so I could burn a written prayer, and also to a modern mall to purchase lavender essential oil. She knew the best time of day for the different activities for minimal crowds and avoiding the worst of the sun. She was awesome at mediating with many Jakartans on our behalf, and exhibited some excellent parking skills in tight situations. Our lunch experience at Babah coffee house was a real highlight. No amount of personal research could have equalled our experience. Thank you Eri, it was an enjoyable and memorable day. I highly recommend your service."

Great experience
"It was a great experience and had a lot of authentic street food on many stand, where it can be a little bit difficult to seat when you are not familiar with and can't speak local language. So I had a lot of explanation on what she ordered. In my opinion she could extend tour in order to walk a little bit more than doing everything in the same street. "

Top-notch food tour!
"
While in Jakarta I took the WithLocals food tour with Eranti. I’ve done food tours in many countries and this ranked right up there with the best of them. Eranti is very personable, knowledgeable and pleasant. We visited many different restaurants and food carts featuring Indonesian and Chinese/Indonesian fusion foods.

"We would really like to thank Erianti for an amazing day!! Erianti took excellent care of us and we felt so happy and comfortable with her. She showed us around the Old Town, Chinatown and even went above and beyond to visit the Monas, although it was very busy due to the 80th anniversary of the military. In addition she took us to a very hip coffee place and also helped us with getting some items we really needed. She navigated the city like a pro and we could not have wished for anyone better to take us around Jakarta. If we come again, we would love to do another tour with her."
"We had an amazing experience with Erianti. She tailored the tour perfectly to our interests, making us feel truly seen and cared for. From the historic charm of Jakarta’s Old Town to the vibrant streets of Chinatown, Erianti guided us with warmth and insight. She even introduced us to hidden gems we’d never have found on our own. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a personal, enriching, and unforgettable Jakarta adventure!

Amazing day in Jakarta with Erianti
"Jakarta was a huge and complicated city for two Americans with no language skills to navigate. Eri was a dream guide. She picked us up at our hotel, drove us all over town in a comfortable car and designed a flexible itinerary that met our interests (food, markets, off the beaten path sites) plus some history, culture, current political/economic situation and daily Indonesian life. She took us to favorite food stalls, an amazing coffee shop/hotel (House of Tuga) and even came with us to a hotel we were thinking of staying at to check it out. Eri speaks perfect English and fun to talk to and learn from. We would hire her anytime we are in Jakarta! "
"I had a wonderful day guided by Erianti!!
She was flexible and tailored our itinerary based on my feedback and interests. She told me stories and background information on places and history, and took me to the best places really. Truly appreciate it 🙏
I think the experiences on WithL9cals are fantastic but I have the feeling that it's not fair trade 😏"
