Tour description

Hello, I'm Fajar and I've been guiding some travellers on the walking tour around Jakarta City for more than 3 years to visit some cool spots, introduced them to the local foods, experience the local transportation, etc.
I love to do this walking tour because basically I like to meet new friends from different countries and I think that's really interesting.
The itinerary of my walking tour is:

  • First, the old town square, to get there I'm gonna take you guys take the commuter line public train from the meeting point to the nearest train station in west Jakarta "Jakarta Kota Station". 
  • Then we will visit the Old Town Square to see the old Dutch buildings.
  • We will continue to walk to visit the China Town area. There we will walk through the traditional market and we can visit the Buddhist Temple.
  • We will continue to walk to the Biggest Mosque in SEA (Istiqlal Mosque) then we will enter the Mosque to see the building from the inside of the Mosque. 
  • We will visit the Monument Nasional (Monas). 
  • Then the walking tour ends at the Monument Nasional.

I have done many tours and what we did was not a tour, it was a ride with a local guy, which was great (although sometimes we went too fast) and I had a great time. I recommend it, but as I said, it's not a tour as such.

This is one of the best tours I've been on. It is an interesting mix of visiting the official monuments of Jakarta (Monas, biggest mosque in SEA, old town), experiencing the different neighborhoods of the city (Chinatown, local market, sunda kelapa) and trying the local food. The highlight of the tour is definitely the little boat trip around the harbour, something which is not so easy to organise on your own. Tour lasted longer than expected, but it's really worth the time and the money.
