Hello, I'm Fajar. I'm an easy going guy and I've been guided some travellers for the walking tour around Jakarta City for more than 3years to visit some cool spots, introduce them the local foods, experience them the local transportations, etc. I love to do this walking tour because basicly I like to meet new friends from different countries and I think that's really interesting.

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.10.000 per person (€0,5 / US$0,6 / £0,4).
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, so my Guests can chip-in so that's gonna be so cheap.
Fourth, we will continue walk to visit the Fatahillah Square or Jakarta Old Town. There we will sop for lunch at one of the nice Cafes, then I will provide another Snack and the Fruit Salad to all my Guests. After Lunch, we will walk around the Old Town Square to see the nice Old Dutch Historical Buildings, I will also share my knowledges of Dutch Colonialism Histories to all my Guests.
Fifth, we will take the Commuter Line again from Jakarta Kota Station to Juanda Station to visit and enter the Istiqlal biggest Mosque in south east asia. We will wear the special Outfits from the Mosque then the Public Relation Staff of the Mosque will lead us to enter the Mosque and explain us more detail about the Mosque, I will also enter the Mosque to help my Guests taking nice pictures inside the Mosque.
After Mosque, we can also visit the Cathedral Church that is located just in front of Istiqlal Mosque. Then the Walkingtour ends either at the Istiqlal Mosque or at the Cathedral Church.

Note : This walkingtour can be longer than 4hours depends on the Guests' walking speed, Traffic jam, Lunch stop, and the Istiqlal Mosque Schedhule's Regulation. So, feel free to leave earlier if you have something else to do.
