Journey through centuries of Indonesian history on this immersive full-day private tour exploring Old Batavia, Jakarta's historic heart. Discover fascinating layers of culture, architecture, and heritage from its origins as a 13th-century trading port through the Dutch colonial era.

Walk through iconic Fatahillah Square, stroll along Kali Besar canal lined with restored merchant houses, and visit the Wayang Kulit Museum showcasing traditional shadow puppetry. Venture into Glodok, Indonesia's oldest Chinatown, where winding lanes, street food stalls, and traditional temples reflect centuries of Chinese heritage.

About Jakarta
Jakarta is Indonesia's largest city, on the north coast of Java, with old Dutch Batavia, tall towers, mosques, markets and endless street food.
Jakarta began as the Dutch trading port of Batavia, and the old town, Kota Tua, still has colonial buildings around Fatahillah Square, including the former town hall that now houses a history museum. Nearby, the harbour of Sunda Kelapa has wooden schooners moored at the quay. The National Monument, topped with a gilded flame, stands in Merdeka Square in the centre.
