It was an amazing experience! Truly one-of-a-kind and unforgettable! I highly recommend everyone try it at least once. Extra special thanks to our instructor, who was not only helpful and attentive and gave clear instructions, but was also very friendly and welcoming. If I'm ever back in Indonesia, I'm definitely visiting again! Thank you for making us so happy!

My tour guide's name was Aisyah, a young Muslim woman. She spoke English a bit fast for me, but I gradually got used to it after a while. The highlight of the trip was the Istiqlal Mosque (Masjid Istiqlal), there were many scenic spots to photograph. The other attractions were more of a quick visit, just taking pictures from the outside. During the night market tour, we ate two kinds of satay and also drank Turkish coffee. Remember to bring your own water!

Raw and authentic tour of Jakarta's street food. I had a great time with my guide Selvi, who was accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a real experience of Jakarta's street food culture!

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.

Purchasing tickets in advance on Klook is still more cost-effective than buying them on the spot. The platform's customer service is very considerate. Due to severe traffic jams on the road, I needed to temporarily change the time. Through the platform's customer service arrangement, it was quick and appropriate. Looking forward to coming again next time. Atmosphere: Very leisurely Environment: Quiet and relaxing Massage therapist: Good technique
