We had an excellent experience with Anggara, our private driver during our Jakarta tour. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and incredibly friendly. He made getting around the city so easy and stress-free, even with Jakarta’s busy traffic. Anggara knows the city very well — he always chose the best routes, shared His car was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, which made every ride smooth and relaxing. What really stood out was his kindness and genuine hospitality. He was patient, respectful, and always went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our time. We truly appreciated his excellent service and would highly recommend Anggara to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy private driver in Jakarta.

Sis Sita Larasita was an amazing driver! Even though the traffic was horrible, she remained patient and drove excellently. I really enjoyed talking with her — she shared so many wonderful places to visit in Indonesia. Thank you for the enjoyable ride!

Jakarta Aquarium & Safari is a gem! Stunning Ocean Walkway, playful sea lions, and touchable rays. Fun shows, clean vibe, bit crowded on weekends. Great for families! 4.5/5 stars, worth IDR 250k.

Needed this ticket in order for us to get to Dunia Fantasi. Since we come here using grab car, so we just buy the individual entrance ticket. Easy to be used. Just show the QR to the Kakak at entrance. Works well! We had fun spending the whole day in Dunia Fantasi in Ancol.

the massage that I had in Jakarta was an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the serene and clean environment. The soft lighting, calming music, and soothing aroma instantly put me at ease, making it the perfect place to unwind. The massage itself was exceptional. The therapist was skilled and attentive, applying just the right amount of pressure to relieve tension in my feet and lower legs. They focused on key pressure points, and by the end of the session, I felt completely relaxed and rejuvenated. The hot towel treatment at the end was a lovely touch!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience for our Private Bandung Tour with Desi! Our transport to all of the locations were very smooth, and Desi shared with us her wealth of information of all of the locations we had went to - she truly went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best experience, and was tried her best to answer all of our questions. Would recommend this if you are looking to explore the outdoors while visiting Bandung (and staying at Jakarta)!
