Free walking tours in Jakarta

Jarrr is a great tour guide and very open to answer all your questions and very frank about what is going on in Jakarta. Get ready for an adventure tour and the more energy you put in the more you will get out, we went on longer than the time because Jarr was very excited to share more so get ready for more than you bargained for!

This is the best tour I’ve taken in a long time. Far better than my expectations. I saw everything I wanted and this was at a perfect speed for me. We had fun and laughed and I was able to experience the culture and all that Jakarta had to offer

We had an amazing street food tour with Fajars in Jakarta! Earlier the same day we joined his history and culture walking tour, and meeting up again in the evening for the food tour was the perfect combination. Fajars guided us through the busy street food scene, explained each dish and drink, ordered everything for us, and made sure we only tried high-quality, delicious options. As tourists, we would have been completely lost among the many stalls and choices, so exploring it all with a knowledgeable local guide in a small group made the experience even better. It was fun, authentic, and truly memorable. We highly recommend Fajars—and both his regular walking tour and his street food tour!

Fantastic 4½ h tour and Fajz is really professionel, great in English, history and serviceminded - providing snacks, water, tea and bus tickets. Saw all the sights and he observes what you have most interets in. highly recommand his service and you should tip him generously (min. 35 EUR pp)

One of the most interesting free walking tours I’ve ever joined - very diverse and full of little adventures along the way. I was initially worried about the length, but we ended up having such a good time with the guide that the hours passed surprisingly quickly. We got to experience a lot of everyday life in Jakarta, which was a real highlight. I only missed a bit more insight into Indonesia’s post-independence history, as it’s a fascinating period and would have added even more depth to the tour. Overall, a memorable and highly enjoyable experience

Fajars is an exceptional guide. He showed us many interesting places, explained the history and culture, and answered all our questions. In addition to the major attractions, he also took us to a hidden temple in Chinatown and provided us with delicious snacks at lunchtime. We highly recommend this walking tour with Fajars!

This is without any doubt the best free tour I’ve ever made. Fajz made it really special and was able to guide us to Jakarta as a local. He is not only a very nice guide but also an excellent person that helps with everything he can.

Incredible experience touring the city with Fajar! Do not hesitate to sign up. I was the only person who signed up for the today's tour and he gladly took me around and provided excellent service the whole time. He makes it so easy, from paying for your train fare to the snacks he provides along the way. He knows this city so well and he is passionate about making sure his guests have a great experience. I've taken a dozen walking tours in different countries and his was by far the best! I would not have experienced Jakarta the same way without his expert guiding. Please recognize that his time - and the money he spends on his guests along the way - is valuable and to tip him appropriately.

I joined this walking tour in Jakarta without really knowing what to do in the city, and it ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. Jarr was super friendly, attentive, and explained everything in such a clear and interesting way. He shared plenty of history and local knowledge in a way that was really fun and easy to follow. What I loved most is that we didn’t only visit the usual tourist spots. He also showed us everyday parts of Jakarta, which made the whole experience feel really authentic. We tried local snacks, walked a lot, talked a lot, and I genuinely enjoyed every minute of it. I’m really glad i joined this tour and i would love to come back one day. I can truly recommend this experience with jarr as your guide to anyone visiting Jakarta☺️

I was super surprised by the walking tour, did so much more then I thought we would do. Was the best experience ever!! I saw things I wish I can forget but also is part of Yakarta. Most tour only does the really tourist places but Jarr brought us to places I never would have seen. And I am very happy to see Yakarta in different perspectives!! Loved the enthusiasm from Jarr and how he explains everything with so much passion. It’s a half day tour but if it was possible for a whole day I would have done that! There was so much more to see and to listen to! Jarr made me love Yakarta love so much more than I already did!! Big shout out to him and that day!! ❤️❤️

Had an amazing time with Jar! The tour shows you places only a local would know which is amazing! Jar’s English is amazing, and he is open to answer any questions you have. Thanks again for making my stay in Jakarta even better!

Fifi was an incredibly knowledgeable guide. She has a deep understanding of the history of Java and Indonesia, and explains every site with passion and meaningful storytelling. She took us to hidden gems we would have never found on our own, making the tour feel authentic and special. Fifi is also warm, lovely, and attentive ,always checking if we needed a rest or a short break. You can tell she truly loves her country and her work. We are very grateful for this experience and can confidently say that Fifi is very recommended for anyone visiting this city. We Highly recommend her! ❤️ Thank you, Fifi, for an unforgettable tour!

I had a great time on my tour with Fifi. She is highly knowledgeable and has a thorough understanding of the past. We sampled herbal beverages that weren't included on the tour. She took me on train rides, which is a great way to see local culture. You ought to be as energetic as she is.

Der Guide hat uns, obwohl er im Hafen erklärt hat, das die schwerstarbeitenden Leute nur 200000 IDR/Tag verdienen, und wir ihm für knapp 3h 400000IDR gaben (wir waren nur 2 Personen in der Tour), um weitere 100000IDR gefragt. Wir fanden das etwas unverschämt.

Be prepared for a long tour (over 5 hours). Fazj is very relaxed, informative and knowledgeable. We got to see many sights and covered a lot of ground by train and bus as some of the sights are far from each other. The highlight of the trip was much needed refreshments in Chinatown (iced tea and Indonesian snacks) half way through. Highly recommend this tour with Fazj as it was very enjoyable and fun. Also, he is quite the photographer and took lots of amazing photographs/video and sent it to us.

Amazing guided walk around Jakarta with great street food along the way! Would definitely recommend doing this with Fajars!

This guy knows all the gem of city, really put his head to work.

You can tell this man put his heart there, he just done the work sooo well. Much appreciated and strongly recommended! You are the one making Jakarta so colorful!

Fajz is a great tour guide. We can definitely recommend him. We enjoyed the tour a lot. Thanks a lot.

Awasome tour guide. Se salió. Tour completísimo, facilitando todos los pasos del dia. Nos movió en tren, por las mezquitas e iglesias. Muchas gracias

Fajz is an excellent host and has really taken time to plan an excellent and thorough itinerary! Would really recommend, especially if you want to experience Jakarta as a local!

La verdad que estuve muy agusto con Kenya, además de ver cosas te explica muy bien la vida de la ciudad y te responde todas las inquietudes de manera que lo entiendas. Repetiría con ella.

Great overview of the city and excellent orientation to their transit systems. Tasty snacks as well! Take this tour before doing anything else in Jakarta.

We had a lovely time with Kenya! She knows a lot about indonesian food, and she caters the tour to you needs/preferences. We even got to make desert ourselves at one of the food carts on the street. We've had a very good time, and would defenitely recommend doing this tour.

Fajar is a good guide, informing and taking care and never in a hurry. Flexible.
