Jakarta Top Attractions essential walking tour

Kenya
Registered on December 20, 2022
Hey Adventurers! My name is Kenya! I'm originally from Indonesia, born in Kenya, and seasoned in Morocco for a whole decade. I'm fluent in English, French, and Indonesian: I'm your language ninja:). Growing up abroad gifted me a passport full of friendships and a love for the diverse beauty of countries and cultures. Now back in Indonesia, I've embraced the backpacker hostel life—meeting fascinating people from all walks of life and happily trading knowledge. Being part of these hostel encounters has sparked my desire to showcase my incredible city. Make people discovering cultures stemming from thousands of ethnic groups, savoring cuisines from various corners of Indonesia, and immersing ourselves in its one-of-a-kind traditions. However, some folks might say new travelers to "get out of Jakarta as fast as you can", but I'm here to prove them wrong! Jakarta is my playground, and I'm eager to showcase its lively, vibrant, and downright charming side. So, buckle up for a tour filled with laughter, delightful culinary surprises, and the warmest smiles Jakarta has to offer. I'm not just a guide; I'm your humorous, friendly, and ever-helpful companion. Let's make your Jakarta adventure unforgettable! 😄🌍🍜

The tour with Kenya is like hanging out with a friend who takes you to fun spots in the city. Chill vibe, cool places and a nice taste of what Jakarta has to offer! Would highly recommend if you just arrived in Jakarta and don’t know where to start! You’ll probably will meet some nice fellow travelers as wel :)

We enjoyed our walking tour with Kenya very much. Even though there were just the two of us she didn't cancel the tour and walked us through interesting and delicious Jakarta. Our highlights were Chinatown and the Istiqlal Mosque. We warmly recommend taking a tour with Kenya!

Kenya was great! She happily accepted to the tour just with my myself which other tour guides would normally cancel. Kenya also coordinated the tour so I could be back in time for my flight.
I loved catching the train and other public transport which is an opportunity to see the real Jakarta. Loved sampling the local food and learning about Jakarta. Kenya was well informed and passionate about Jakarta. I highly recommend this tour.
