Experience Day Trips in Jakarta with Withlocals

"We asked Eri to take us to places off the Monas-Istiqlal-Batavia axis, and she delivered! We visited markets in SCBD, Glodok (Chinatown), \u2018new\u2019 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). \n\nWe felt her local knowledge was very useful, and we definitely wouldn\u2019t have found where we ended up (and where we ate!) on our own. \n\nJakarta 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 "

"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.\nShe is very knowledgeable about her city\nand 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.\nErianti also helped me by arranging a driver for me the next day when I asked her advice.\n"

"We had a lovely tour around Jakarta with Eri. \nThe old colonial part of the city is lovely although parts of it are run down. \nThe walk through the market in China Town was interesting - lots of fruit I have never seen before. \nNice lunch in the food court. \nEri 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\u2019s 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.\nBill"

"Erianti was an exceptional tour guide! She picked me up at my hotel and customized the experience given that I was only available in the evening (5:00 - 8:00pm). She even stayed an hour later to cover as much as possible. She looked out for my dietary needs (vegetarian) and showed me local markets, mosques, and historic sights. Highly recommend! "

"Our day was a great start to our month long snorkeling adventure. Saw the essential downtown sights and a great meal at an authentic Indonesian restaurant. Finished the night with an inexpensive lovely massage. Highly recommend!"
