Experience Day Trips in Jakarta with Withlocals

"Eri made a custom tour based on our requirements. She was on time and gave us lots of information about the places we visited. She bargained with the sellers in local language and got us good prices for shopping. It was nice to see local places instead of going on a tour that take you to places that give them commissions."

"We asked Eri to take us to places off the Monas-Istiqlal-Batavia axis, and she delivered! We visited markets in SCBD, Glodok (Chinatown), ‘new’ Chinatown in the master planned development PIK 2 which showed different versions of Jakarta (we let her know we were visiting the main sites on our own and had visited two other street food markets already). We felt her local knowledge was very useful, and we definitely wouldn’t have found where we ended up (and where we ate!) on our own. Jakarta is harder to explore on foot than any city I have visited before, so having a car was very useful. Eri helped explain local driving customs and navigated central Jakarta gridlock skillfully. "

"Erianti knows Jakarta inside out and was able to taylor the tour to our interests. She is a very knowledgeable and energetic person and we had a fantastic day! I can definitely recommend her as a great guide "

"Eri helped us enjoy our Jakarta trip. We covered the areas we wanted to see and she was knowledgeable and hospitable throughout the trip. Thanks Eri!"

"This was my first time in Jakarta and my day with Erianti was fabulous she planned the day well and took into account what I was interested in. She is very knowledgeable about her city and genuinely keen to show it and guide her clients. I enjoyed our lunch and my time with Erianti left me with wonderful impressions of her and Jakarta. Erianti also helped me by arranging a driver for me the next day when I asked her advice. "

"We had a lovely tour around Jakarta with Eri. The old colonial part of the city is lovely although parts of it are run down. The walk through the market in China Town was interesting - lots of fruit I have never seen before. Nice lunch in the food court. Eri managed the bad traffic very well and decided to abandon her car after we visited the cathedral and mosque, so we had a Tuk Tuk, train and sky train experience. "

"Professional, knowledgeable, adaptable, caring, thoughtful and fun, are just a few words to describe Eri! It was such a pleasure and privilege to have her as our Jakarta guide. As first-timers in Jakarta, my husband and I wanted to experience different aspects of life there; culture, history, politics, food, arts & crafts, local transport etc, from a local perspective. Eri exceeded all of our expectations, so much so that we booked her for a second day. We explored the city and surrounds by private car, bus, train, bajaj (tuk-tuk) and on foot, each an experience in themselves. Visiting key sights such as the National Monument, Istiqlal Mosque, Old Town and Chinatown, to localised markets, coffee shops and backstreets, Chinese tea ceremony, puppet making museum/show, temples, the old port and even PIK/ reclaimed island leisure area, Eri provided insights (in her excellent English) into Jakarta’s history and culture. We look forward to our next visit, and spending more time with Eri in the future."

"Erianti was very polite with great English and designed the tour to fit in with my desires. Very interesting coffee stop in Batavia. Excellent day and highly recommend her. Bill"
