1 day stopover in Jakarta. We didn't know Jakarta yet and booked a 4-hour tour with Adrie at short notice via “withlocals”. We asked Adrie to focus on the history and architecture. While the driver guided us in a modern and spacious car with air conditioning (which was especially good after the short walks), through the crowded streets of Jakarta, Adrie used the time to talk about Indonesia, Jakarta and the sights we passed. We also liked the fact that there was a cool drink in the car. The tour was very well organized and a great mix of driving, short walks through the National Archive Museum, Chinatown, Taman Fatahillah Square and the old town of Batavia. Finally, we drove to the harbor, which the Dutch conquered in 1619 and built a city from there. They called it Batavia, today's Jakarta. It was a very interesting and entertaining tour. Adrie used to work for an American company, speaks excellent English and is very well educated. He has a broad knowledge of the history of Indonesia, the colonial period, society, economy and art and is also very interested in exchanging perspectives. We left Jakarta at 2.30 AM with many new impressions. Even at that time the city does not seem to rest. Jakarta is a bustling city with many faces that is well worth getting to know - we will definitely return. Our tip: If you have more than a 6 hours stay in Jakarta, don´t stay at the airport (it is boring and tiring). Take the time to visit the 2nd biggest town of the world with its 11 million inhabitants, see the modern skyscrapers and follow the traces of its history and its different cultures. Adrie has excellent time management skills and knows the secret routes to avoid the traffic jams on the main roads. He was very punctual at the hotel and dropped us off at the hotel at the agreed time. You can also leave your luggage in the car while you discover the city together. The driver stays in the car and so you can also use a short stay to get to know the city through Adrie's eyes. At the end of our tour together, Adrie asked us what we knew about Indonesia and its capital Jakarta before our visit and why so many tourists only visit or know something about Bali and a few other touristy places in Indonesia. We were initially surprised by this question, but unfortunately we had to agree with him. His question gave us food for thought. We can absolutely recommend a tour through Jakarta and especially with Adrie. 4 hour tour through Jakarta with Adrie

We were very satisfied with having Adrie as a guide. In advance I got detailed information about how to get easily from the airport to the city, where we meet, how we get back, and he answered fast to all of my questions. Adrie was born in Jakarta and lives there, he told us a lot during our tour, also a bit historical things. We tasted typical indonesian dishes and had a typical Jakarta drink in chinatown, strolled through the market and visited kota tua. We had a very nice end of our tour in the evening with a great view of the „skyscrapers“ in Jakarta. If you have a short stay in Jakarta and do not want to just sit in the Airport Hotel room, i would definitively recommend doing a few hours tour. Terima kasih banyak Adrie untuk tur kota bagus!

Adrie was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food I tried and about the Indonesian history. I had never done a private food tour before, but Adrie made it comfortable for me. I thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes I tried. He made it fun and enjoyable even when the temps hit the high 90s and very humid. Made sure I always had water. I would recommend Adrie to all my friends and family when they visit Jakarta.Great Food Tour

Adrie is a kind guide. He suggested an alternative tour location closer to where we stay, and was there to meet us when we arrived. He was pleasant and interesting to talk to. Overall, we tried a number of new foods. However, I was expecting that he was going to have a plan and have us try a few really good versions of the foods he introduced us to. Instead, it was clear he was winging it. At the first place we went, he even said, "maybe this isn't the best version of it" about the food he had ordered for us. It was extremely busy there, so I'm sure it was challenging. He had us sit in one place and he brought us the food because of the crowds. Unfortunately, that meant most of the time we couldn't see the food made, which in my mind is part of the fun of the tour. He seemed to not know where certain foods were ( he said he was going to try to find things, instead of that he was going to get specific things from specific vendors). We did try some nice foods that we hadn't tried before (we live here), which was good. But this is a very expensive tour for this area, so I was expecting more.A variety of flavors

We had our own car so we picked up Pak Adrie in Jakarta. He showed us the historical highlights of the city and told us a lot about its history. We had lunch at Café Batavia which was nice. We had a great and interesting day and we absolutely recommend this tour by AdrieJakarta daytour

The traffic here is terrible. We had a driver who would drop us off and pick us up. I didn't realize it was a holiday and a few things were closed but we made it to a lot of destinations on my itinerary and a few extra that Adrie suggested. It was hot, but it was a great day. Adrie was a great guide; it's nice to be out with a local who speaks the language and knows the city. Thank you, Adrie!Finally Got to See Jakarta
