Jakarta — a sightseeing tour of the capital

The Monas monument, Istiqlal Mosque + the cathedral, Glodok Chinatown and Fatahillah Square (Old Batavia) — all in one trip.

Itinerary

6 stops

The National Monument (Monas)

we start with Indonesia’s main symbol of independence. This impressive obelisk topped with a golden flame tells the story of the nation’s struggle for freedom.

The spiritual centre

side by side we’ll see the grand Istiqlal Mosque, the largest in South-East Asia, and Jakarta’s majestic neo-Gothic cathedral — a striking example of the religious harmony Indonesia is so proud of.

Chinatown (Glodok)

step into a colourful, bustling quarter of red lanterns, exotic scents and ancient temples, with the real atmosphere of an old Chinese settlement.

The heart of Old Jakarta

Fatahillah Square in Batavia, the historic centre that takes you back to the Dutch colonial era. You can pop into a cosy café or simply enjoy the old-world atmosphere.

Sunda Kelapa harbour

we end in the old port, where traditional wooden pinisi schooners are still moored and unloaded. A place where time seems to stand still — a living piece of Indonesia’s maritime history.

After a full day, around 16:00, we’ll take you back to your hotel.

FAQ

What language will the guide speak?

Each tour card shows its format: “With a guide” means a Russian-speaking guide, “With a driver” means an English-speaking driver-guide, and “Private” means an itinerary just for you. Tours are led in English by our driver-guides; please mention any language preferences in your request.

What if it rains?

Tropical rain on the islands doesn’t last long. If the weather makes a route unsafe (sea, volcano, flight), we move it to another day or refund your deposit.

Can I reschedule or cancel a tour?

Yes. Free rescheduling up to 24 hours before the start. Flights and yachts have stricter terms: they are paid in advance, and we’ll give you the deadlines when we confirm.

How do I pay?

Prices are shown in the destination’s currency; you pay in US dollars or euros.
