Rafael of Ekaputra Tours – Half Day Jakarta Tour We recently joined Rafael for the half-day Jakarta tour, visiting Monas, Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta Cathedral, and the cultural center in Old Jakarta. Rafael was very knowledgeable, offering rich historical and cultural context throughout. He was friendly, personable, and made us feel comfortable from beginning to end. Rafael went the extra mile to ensure everything ran smoothly and shared helpful tips along the way. The tour was well-paced, allowing us to fully enjoy each site. His passion for Jakarta’s heritage made the experience both informative and memorable. We highly recommend Rafael and Ekaputra Tours for a warm and insightful Jakarta tour.
We had a magical day when we took the opportunity to get out of Jakarta into the cooler (and more transparent) air and head toward the mountains! We started at the lovely Bogor Botanical Gardens which reminded me of the Huntington in Pasadena, but with a more scientific bent since it was used in more research over the years. So, more than just a very pretty garden. And our guide, Vincent, did a great job putting the historical and scientific relevance of the garden into context - I really appreciated that! We then drove out through progressively smaller villages to the trail head for our hike through the jungle to the Cikaracak waterfall. The description of the hike said that you would need “moderate” physical conditioning, but it really wasn’t that taxing a hike. It was, on the other hand, really important to have good non-slip shoes and decent balance and agility! So, I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone who doubted their balance as there are some scrambles across wet rocks over the course of three river crossings. And, yes, bring some dry socks! But it’s so worth it! Vincent expertly guided us through the rivers both ways and a late lunch at a really wonderful local spot hit the spot before a drive back to Jakarta. A great day indeed! I’d highly recommend this tour and our excellent guide, Vincent!
We did the active volcano day trip from Jakarta, and it was great! Our tour guide Bryan made it especially memorable. He was super knowledgeable, funny, and helpful. He taught us about Indonesia’s fascinating history. Our driver Mr. T was awesome too! The customer support through WhatsApp was responsive and kind as well. I wish we had more time to book more tours with them!
My friends and I had a fantastic day out visiting the volcano, tea/rice fields and the hot springs. Mitchell was a superb guide; he has a great sense of humour and a wealth of knowledge! We felt very welcome right from the start and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Would absolutely recommend!
My wife and I had most of all day in Jakarta before flying home. On recommendation of others, we did a volcano, tea plantation, rice fields, volcano and cat digested coffee. We skipped the hot springs due to time. We were picked up at our hotel, easy to set up when making reservations, meeting our guide Mitchell and driver, Yusuf. We did our trip on a Sunday and traffic wasn’t too bad but have heard it can be slow. Volcano is about a three hour drive so prepare for a full day. Mitchell is a great guide and has great command of English. Our journey was filled with incredible sites, information about the area and even great food.Mitchell asked if we wanted traditional Indonesian foods or more traditional western fare choices. We went Indonesian. Wonderful. It can be much cooler and wet on the mountain. Take a raincoat. This was a wonderful way to spend the day and see the area away from the big city. Oh and the honey pineapple finished our day. Get some. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.
