What to do and see in Jakarta, Java: The Best Bus Tours

August 10, 2021 Enedina Augsburger

Chaotic, crowded, and cosmopolitan, Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is a city of contrasts. Home to millions of people from around the world, the city is a mixture of languages and cultures, poverty and wealth. The city boasts some of the best nightlife in Asia and some of the worst traffic. Every holiday, the locals escape the pollution and the crowds to enjoy relaxing diversions like Ancol Dreamland, an amusement area featuring water parks, beaches, golf courses, and a SeaWorld.

Smaller than Anchor Wat but just as hard to understand how it was built. The steps are much larger than normal steps and no hand rails. It may be difficult if you are older like we are The heat was killing so that made it very hard to walk around. I would do this before Anchor Wat it was a bit of a disappointment,

I was nicely surprised to see new connecting terminals quick trains. Good security and pleasant areas to wait. Carriage is spacious and modern. Not very busy during the day but maybe I was just on Airport at a specific time. It would be great if this train would connect each major part of Jakarta. Altogether big improvement and upgrade to existing Airport.

I couldn't believe how much fun Vincent prepared for me. He asked me details questions beforehand and brought me to the perfect place to start. I enjoyed fun conversation and he offered suggestions places according to my interests that he picked up from conversation. The next place and the one after both brewed my imagination. I cant tell "where" for your fun later. Whether it is first time visit to Jakarta like me or revisit, he is the one you can trust for Jakarta nightlife.

This tour was great! Our family loved it, including our teenage kids. Mr. Thomas was an excellent tour guide! He spoke very good English and provided history and context at every location. There was good time at every location to see the sites and Thomas allowed us the flexibility to choose if we wanted to stay longer or continue on. Though some of the attractions were closed due to COVID-19, alternate sites were included and it was still a very good trip. The transportation was clean, had nice air conditioning, and provided bottled water. Overall, we really enjoyed it and recommend this tour to everyone!

Agung was an excellent, flexible and accommodating tour guide, and the tour was very reasonably priced as well. Agung's communications were very good from the moment I indicated that we were interested in doing a tour with him, His communications were responsive and clear. He was very flexible in designing a bespoke itinerary for us that would take in many activities we wanted to do. He also accommodated a last-minute change in pick-up locations. On the day itself, Agung took us to locations (hot springs and waterfalls) that weren't heavily frequented by tourists. He was also flexible, incorporating an unplanned stop at the durian farm as well as a last-minute transfer back to Jakarta, at a reasonable price, when one of our team members fell ill. Also, Agung is a really friendly guy with loads of great tips about travelling Indonesia, Within hours of returning to Jakarta he sent us all of the photos and a video of our trip, which was a very nice flourish to round off the day! Overall I highly recommend Travelwings for the ease of dealing with Agung, for the reasonable cost and for an excellent experience. I will recommend Travelwings to all of my friends!

My friend and I booked a 23-day trip to Sulawesi for August 2020. When we had to cancel due to COVID-19 and Indonesia being closed, Hernan Halim stopped answering emails, refused to follow his own booking terms of only 25% penalty and wouldn't even offer a credit for 2021. We lost all our money and couldn't even get an explanation. Do NOT book with Hernan or IndoGlobal Adventures.
