Jakarta was a huge and complicated city for two Americans with no language skills to navigate. Eri was a dream guide. She picked us up at our hotel, drove us all over town in a comfortable car and designed a flexible itinerary that met our interests (food, markets, off the beaten path sites) plus some history, culture, current political/economic situation and daily Indonesian life. She took us to favorite food stalls, an amazing coffee shop/hotel (House of Tuga) and even came with us to a hotel we were thinking of staying at to check it out. Eri speaks perfect English and fun to talk to and learn from. We would hire her anytime we are in Jakarta!
I had a wonderful day guided by Erianti!! She was flexible and tailored our itinerary based on my feedback and interests. She told me stories and background information on places and history, and took me to the best places really. Truly appreciate it 🙏 I think the experiences on WithL9cals are fantastic but I have the feeling that it's not fair trade 😏
We are a family of four and had our food tour with Eri in the evening in Jakarta. Our kids loved it so much, as Eri accommodated our ‘food wishes’ and customised our tour accordingly. Also is as adults, we experienced great flavours from spicy to non-spicy, from salty to Sweet. Without her we would have missed great Indonesian food, which we have ordered regularly afterwards on our trip. Thank you!
Eri was a fantastic guide. She was responsive, flexible, and generous with her time. As someone who grew up in Jakarta, she had a lot of personal stories and perspectives about life there. She was also engaging and informative. She picked us up early in our hotel because our flight arrived early. We went to visit the old town and saw the Dutch section and had a great walk-through Chinatown including a temple. Then we went to two very special coffee houses - each one had historical elements. Next week headed over to the big mosque and nearby cathedral. We also walked by the freedom statue. We topped off the day with an early Indonesian dinner where area joined us and order a fabulous selection of local dishes. You could not have imagined a better day in Jakarta! We highly recommend Eri.
