Free walking tours in Jakarta

I’m not normally too impressed by tours like this, but Kapila was truly knowledgeable and can take subjects to deeper levels. Highly recommend!!

Really enjoyed both the tour and Fajz’s company.

This was one of the best tours I have ever done. Fajz is an outstanding guide who truly loves his city and his work. He is patient, relaxed, and very engaging, and the itinerary had great surprises. It is wonderful to experience a city through the eyes of someone who really wants to share it with you.

Fajz was an amazing guide! Super fun tour, saw so many cool highlights and he is really fun! Would definitely recommend!

The guide was born and raised in Jakarta and takes you off the beaten track, submerging with the locals. We loved the energetic approach. This is your guide if you’re looking for an active tour, so make sure you’re in good shape.

Absolut empfehlenswert. Es war bisher die beste Führung an der ich je teilgenommen habe😀 Fajars hat spürbare Freude und Spaß an der Tour. Umfangreiches Wissen das er gerne weitergibt, er spricht verständliches Englisch und er richtet die Tour und ihre Aktivitäten individuell nach den jeweiligen Teilnehmern aus. Vielen Dank für diesen ereignisreichen und nachhaltigen Jakarta-Sightseeing-Trip.

Had a great time with Kenya. She was very knowledgeable about street food, best locations, quality. She was fun and easy to talk to, we felt very comfortable asking her questions and just getting general info about Jakarta and Indonesia. Would definitely recommend you take this tour, you won’t be disappointed

Fajars is a great guide, I would definitely recommend him and would even attend more tours with him in the future. He is informative, speaks good English and has a good knowledge of culture and history, and also very kind.

Really enjoyable afternoon walk with a lot of knowledge and fun facts shared about Jakarta. The city feels a lot brighter after the tour.

Outstanding Guide – Made Our Jakarta Tour Perfect! We had an absolutely fantastic experience in Jakarta thanks to our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems with us. From the moment we started, everything was perfectly organized. He tailored the tour to our interests, explained things in a clear and engaging way, and made the whole day both fun and insightful. We never felt rushed, and every stop felt meaningful and well thought out. What really stood out was how personable and attentive he was - always making sure we were comfortable and getting the most out of the experience. Thanks to him, Jakarta truly came alive for us. If you’re thinking about booking a guide in Jakarta, don’t hesitate - we would highly recommend him. He made our tour unforgettable! Thank you from Jörg and Carmen

We really loved this tour. Kenya was a really lovely, fun and informative guide and we would definitely recommend it! The best street food tour I’ve been on 🙏

Quelle belle surprise que ce food tour ou nous avons beaucoup appris sur l’Indonésie et la richesse de sa cuisine grâce à Kenya, elle s’est rendue disponible en anglais comme en français. Son enthousiasme et son sourire ont fait le reste et crée une belle énergie dans le groupe. Je recommande +++

This was a great intro to Jakarta and Indonesian food. Kenya was so lovely, very fun and informative. I really wasn't a fan of Jakarta but this tour helped me appreciate it much more. We ate so much delicious food, even got to make our own desserts at a streetfood stall! A really fun tour and I only have good things to say about Kenya! Thank you!!

The tour was absolutely amazing I can honestly recommend it to everyone. Jarrr really made it something special. I learned so much about Jakarta, from the buildings and history to the street food it was the perfect mix. You can really tell how much knowledge and passion he brings. Jarrr also always paid attention to the needs of the group, which made everyone feel comfortable and included. So if anyone is thinking about doing this tour, do it you won’t regret it!

Very informative tour on history and food of Jakarta. Guide covered all the main tourist spots in tour by travelling in train and buses just like locals do. Tour provides all the information to start traveling in Jakarta as well as other islands indonesia.

Fajars gave a great tour - he shared lots of interesting information and gave me an introduction to many things I would never have understood if I had done the tour on my own -- from background on the public transportation system to the history of the various historic sites and monuments. Plus he is fun to hang out with!

The tour with Jarrr is an opportunity to discover the city through the lens of someone borned and raised there. You will get to know places out of the touristic routes and to discover pieces of Indonesian history and context. Jarrr is brilliant and ready to answer any question you might have on the city and the country. Totally recommended!

We did the walkingtour with Fifi. Had a great time and she gave us a lot of interesting information about the cathedral, mosque, old town and chinatown. Also talking about other issues like politics, religion etc with Fifi was very interesting to hear. Finally the tour took longer than planned but no problem at all for her. For sure we will rwcommend her amd we will meet again.

Kenya was very informative and honest. Understood how jarkarta has become the way it is

Our tour with Fifi was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. She is incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming, and from the very beginning she made everyone in the group feel comfortable and well taken care of. Fifi has an impressive amount of knowledge and information about Jakarta, Indonesia, and its history. Her explanations were clear, engaging, and full of insight. What made the tour even more special was how deeply she loves her country ,her strong sense of pride and nationalism could be felt in every story she shared, making the history come alive in a very genuine way. As foreign visitors, navigating Jakarta can sometimes be challenging, especially when it comes to walking, crossing busy streets, and understanding the flow of the city. Fifi knows the city and its people extremely well, and she constantly looked after the group, helping us cross the roads safely, guiding us through crowded areas, and making sure no one felt lost or overwhelmed. Because of her care and experience, we felt safe and relaxed the entire time. All of this naturally leads to one clear conclusion: if you are visiting Jakarta, you should absolutely book a tour with Fifi. She is not just a guide, but someone who truly cares about her guests and is deeply passionate about her country. This is the kind of tour that makes your trip unforgettable - 100% recommended. Don’t hesitate, book Fifi !

this tour with Fifi was an exceptional experience and easily one of the most memorable walking tours I’ve done. She has an impressive and deep knowledge of Jakarta’s history, the city’s development, and every site we visited, explaining everything in a clear and engaging way. What really makes Fifi stand out is the extra effort she puts into her guests. She provided local snacks and drinks, helped us navigate the city by lending her transport card, and generously spent more time than scheduled to make sure we fully enjoyed the experience without feeling rushed. Beyond her knowledge, Fifi is an incredibly warm, kind, and attentive guide. She made everyone in the group feel comfortable and genuinely cared for, always checking that we were okay and adapting the tour to our interests. It truly felt like being shown the city by a local friend rather than just joining a tour. This tour clearly involves a lot of preparation, personal expenses, and energy from the guide, and it shows in the quality of the experience. A contribution of around €35 per person feels very fair and well deserved considering the time, expertise, and thoughtful service provided. I really highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Jakarta ,you will not experience the city the same way without Fifi’s guidance.thank you Fifi

We just arrived to Jakarta and decided to book this tour 30min before it started. One of the best decisions we made. Fajar brought us on the train, buses and we toured around Kota Tua, walked through slums, boarded a small boat around Sunda Kelapa harbour - unforgettable experience. Went to Glodok Chinatown and tasted delicious street food. This will be the best tour for anyone looking for raw unfiltered Jakarta. Thank you Fajar!

Fajz is a great tourguide, it was an amazing tour I everyone can recommand. I was alone in that tour and he did gave everything to make me happy. Thanks 🙏

Very nice guy with a lot of knowledge about the country en culture. I really enjoyed the tour! Thank you very much Fajz and wish you the best!

Very professional & lot of information
