On this guided tour of Jakarta, we'll discover all the iconic spots in the Indonesian capital, such as Old Batavia. Get ready to see museums, mosques, cathedrals, and lively neighborhoods!

Tour Details

At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel to begin our full tour of Jakarta.

The first stop will be at the Fatalillah Museum, which houses a large collection of colonial art. Next, we'll visit the Istiqlal Grand Mosque, considered the largest in Southeast Asia and the ninth largest in the world. In addition, very close to this temple is the Jakarta Cathedral, a symbol of harmony between both religions!

After visiting these two stunning monuments, we'll stop briefly for photos at the National Museum of Indonesia, where we'll also stop for 30 to 45 minutes to enjoy a traditional lunch.

Continuing our tour, we'll stroll along the streets of Jakarta until we arrive at Chinatown, also known as Glodok. In this part of town, you'll have the chance to admire its temples and market.

Are you looking for adventure? Next on our tour, we'll hop on a tuk-tuk and enjoy an exciting ride through Old Batavia, Jakarta's historic center. Nicknamed the "Jewel of Asia" and the "Queen of the Orient" by European sailors in the 16th century, this significant location within the Indonesian capital is less than 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) long. We'll learn about its history and how it became a trading center for Southeast Asia due to its strategic position.

In Batavia, we'll visit a traditional puppet studio, where you'll learn about the significance of shadow puppets in Indonesian culture. Finally, we'll reach the old Port of Jakarta, which witnessed the days when this city was an important commercial enclave. You'll be transported to the past!

After this 5 to 6-hour tour of the Indonesian capital, we'll end our tour back at the starting point.

Closing Times

Museums in Jakarta close on Mondays. The Great Istiqlal Mosque closes on Fridays.

Hotel Pickup

This activity only includes pickup from hotels in the center of Jakarta. If your hotel is outside the center or you need pickup services from the airport, you'll need to pay an additional fee in cash. The price will depend on the pickup location.
