“Communication regarding meeting place was good so we met our guide easily outside the cruise terminal exit. Our guide, Resti, was a lovely girl but often had to be prompted to provide facts regarding the place we were visiting. Driver was good. We visited most of the main sights of Jakarta but, unfortunately, since it was Monday the museums were closed. The old harbour, the colonial buildings, the mosque and the heritage museum were all interesting. I would recommend this tour for cruise passengers but, hopefully, you’ll be luckier and you won’t visit in a Monday!”
