Tour description
Hello, I'm Fajar. I'm a laid-back guy with a passion for showing travelers the vibrant city of Jakarta. For over 5 years, I've been guiding walking tours that take you through fascinating spots, introduce you to authentic local cuisines, and let you experience the diverse modes of Jakarta's transportations. Along the way, we dive into Indonesia's rich and expansive histories. What I love most about these tour is the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and share the culture of my city with them.
See you all soon Guys 😉
The itineraries of my walking tour are :
- First, we meet in the Lobby of My Capsule Jakarta - Batavia at 11am. Then we will walk to Cikini Station to take the Commuter Line Train to Jakarta Kota Station for 6 stops or 6 stations. I will lend my Guests my Train's Cards and my Guests just need to top up my Train's Card Rp.20.000 per person (€1.2/ US$1.1 / £0,9)
- Second, once we have arrived at Jakarta Kota Station we will continue walk to Glodok ChinaTown. There I will provide some Local Snacks for my Guests and we will visit some Hidden Germs spots such as Buddhist Temple or Buddhist Praying Place, Traditional Market, and ChinaTown Foodcourts.
- Third, we will take the MiniBus to visit the OldHarbor Sunda Kelapa. I will provide the MiniBus for my Guests. There we will take the small Boat to go around the OldHarbor until the Sea. There you all will see the old and big Pinishi Boats and the Proof that Jakarta is sinking from the sea water level is higher tan the land. For the small Boat costs Rp.150.000 per Boat and the big Boat costs Rp.200.000 so my Guests can chip-in so that's gonna be so cheap.
