    O have a great interest in culture and history. As such I could not have wished a better guide then Gindo. He was very knowledgeable and expressed information clearly. I would certainly recommend using Gindo on a Jakarta trip. The driver Mr. Ryan was confident and I felt at ease. Wil o

  • 5Amazing experience

    Ibek was a great guide. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and incredibly helpful, giving us fascinating insights into Jakarta’s history, culture and everyday life. The driver was also professional and drove very safely, which made the entire experience comfortable and stress-free. What I loved most was how efficiently we could see so much of Jakarta without having to worry about transportation or navigating the city ourselves

  • 5Fun day exploring Jakarta

    It was a fun day doing this tour with ProGuide Jakarta, we were treated to the highlights of Jakarta. It was a unconventional tour as we highlighted historical facts about Jakarta as well as sights that most people never visit or care to know about. Five stars thank you to Mr. Gindo for such an amazing time. From our driver as well to the choice of restaurant. Simply amazing!

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.
