First, see three city landmarks lit up for the night: the Indonesia National Monument (Monas), topped with a gleaming flame, the Istiqlal Mosque, and Jakarta Cathedral. Stroll Lapangan Banteng park, hit the liveliest food and nightlife streets in Glodok (Jakarta Chinatown), and wander Jakarta Old Town.

See the sights of Jakarta by night, including Monas and Istiqlal Mosque
Explore the food stalls of Pecenongan Street (Wisata Kuliner Pecenongan)
Soak up the atmosphere at Lapangan Benteng and Mangga Besar Street

Worth every penny

Rodney_G, Apr 2024

Rizky was our tour guide the tour was the best I have ever been on. it was full of info and good laughs. He took us to so many great places. What ever you do don't eat the king fruit but that was even a great experience. My wife and I took so many pictures and have memories to share for a long time. Thank you so much Rizky

The taste of Martabak was...

MaritessCruz, Mar 2024

The taste of Martabak was whoah!!! Seing the Old Jakarta was great and the old boat that still works! wow

Jakarta at night is a must.

Donald_B, Mar 2024

Rizky did a great job. He was very professional, flexible to adjusting the itinerary to what we wanted to see, and very knowledgeable about his city. Our street dining experience was a highlight. Our driver was a gem. Would highly recommend this tour and our guide.

Delightful Evening in Jakarta with Hertin

Hilary_G, Mar 2024

We had a wonderful tour around Jakarta at night with Ms. Hertin. She speaks English beautifully and is a wonderful ambassador for her country. Our cruise ship evening tour was sold out, and we feel so fortunate to have spent the night with Hertin. We loved to ask many questions, and she was knowledgeable and patient in her responses. She and her driver knew the backroads and shortcuts and took us to places a large bus could never have gone to. We loved the Jakarta chocolate pancake and testing the local fruit. We would highly recommend her as a guide. We would also like to say that the Ekaputra Tours through Viator were amazing. Booking the trip with short notice and then a request for an extended time. We received our guides WhatsApp contact information and everything ran smoothly.

Personalized tour of Jakarta, must try!

Richard_U, Jan 2024

Tashia was a great, friendly, and knowledgeable tour guide. It was great to learn more about the history and importance of these local sites. Tour was able to flex to our requests, not just a canned script. I will absolutely recommend this trip for future visitors.

Great !

LiLi_C, Jan 2024

Vincent and driver did a great job ferrying us around the sites. Vincent has good grasp of history. Good job

Jakarta bright lights

Thoroughly enjoyed my tour seeing the buzz of Jakarta in the evening. Beni was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable.

Thomas made a difference

Juan_F, Oct 2023

Thomas was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and has a great sense of humor. His descriptions of and perspectives on Indonesian history made the tour worth our while. I am glad I had the opportunity to go on tour with Thomas. I've been on other Viator tours and this was the best because of Thomas!

Jakarta in luxury in the cool of the night

Timothy_C, Oct 2023

We thoroughly recommend this tour with Thomas our guide, for anyone wanting to orientate themselves to this crazy busy metropolis. Thomas was extremely knowledgeable, articulate and engaging. He explained Jakarta in its historic context with much colour and anecdotes and really brought the city to life for us. We don't think we could have done this another way as Jakarta is the sort of place that requires an astute local to show us the city. Thank you Thomas!

Jakarta lights up at night!

Damarcus_W, Sep 2023

I booked a his last minute and was thoroughly pleased with the tour guides and the places we stopped. I ate street food and in Chinatown much more food and novelty shopping. There was plenty to see, from the port to all the monuments. The national monument is closed Monday but the guide knew a place for the perfect picture. Friendly and nice people with lots of history and culture. The old town was filled with many people where the Dutch invaded and built buildings which now are museums and Indonesian state houses and governmental buildings. Would definitely recommend!!! 4.5 hours, could be longer with more people so plan for maybe 5-6 hours depending on group size and traffic to get around.

Night tour of Jakarta

Jason_B, Jul 2023

Nice, safe vehicle. Friendly good tour guide, Nanda. Solid English proficiency. You will see many parts of Jakarta you could never see on your own. Adventureous food stall eating like Anthony Bourdain.

Magical and educational

Dorthe_K, Jun 2023

Fantastic guide (Nanda). Learned so much about the history of Indonesia and Jakarta. Magical views of the most important sights of Jakarta. Would 100% recommend this tour.

Very chilled tour of the historical parts of the city!

Lauren_B, Jun 2023

Really enjoyed the tour with Jeffry. Always like to book a tour when travelling solo and sometimes they can be a bit rushed and “tick list” like - this wasn’t like that at all - it was super laid back, we walked around, soaked up the different areas and moved on when I was ready. We skipped over places I was less interested in, stopped for a drink and/ or paused to chat in a couple of places, and jeffry was fun to talk to and hang out with throughout and was willing to go with the flow. I saw places I wouldn’t have bothered travelling to in such a short trip otherwise, but am glad I saw. Thanks to Jeffry and Iwan - was a really chilled, low stress tour night driving around and seeing the different areas to get the Friday night vibe!

Totally Overpriced

Michelle_B, May 2023

Although the 2 x gentlemen who were my driver and tour guide were very lovely & tried their best, I didn't enjoy the tour at all. It was supposed to go for 4-5 hours.. I was back at my hotel in 2 hours...partly bcoz it started to rain and I didn't wish to walk around in the rain. So for $150 Australian I saw a Mosque, a church and National monument and the harbour with some rickety old boat that I could barely see bcoz it was surrounded by sandbags. The tour did take me to a place with markets etc and we were to walk around and sample Street food but I decided not to as it was raining. I also didn't realise that I would be alone with no other tourists. I felt safe but it lacked atmosphere. For $ 150 it was utterly overpriced. I could have jumped in a taxi and driven around for alot cheaper and the sites I saw weren't anything marvellous.

Response from Host, May 2023

Hello Michelle, We apologize if the tour program did not meet your expectations. This product is a private tour, so no other tourists will join you. First, you feel disappointed because you cannot enter several locations (Monument & Mosque) because the places are closed at night, we have described this in the tour description. Second, you ask to skip several locations, especially the street food area & Old town Batavia, because of the rain, our guide has prepared an umbrella but you refuse to get out of the car and explore street food to try some typical Indonesian food/snacks and refuse to explore the Old Town Batavia too, and You are also not interested in Old Harbor because there are no activities at night, so you ask to be taken back to the hotel. Because you missed these 3 places, the tour duration be shorter than it should be. Once again, we apologize for what happened. The tour guide tried his best to run the itinerary as advertised but everything that happened was all out of our control. This will be a valuable lesson for us to improve our services going forward. Hopefully, this will not be a bad memory for you about tourism in Indonesia. Thank you very much for your review.

Great tour!

Vincent_D, May 2023

I thoroughly enjoyed the Night time Jakarta tour! My guide was Thomas and he was incredibly knowledgeable on the history of Jakarta. He spoke English very well and the tour was very informative. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn more about Jakarta's history and experience Jakarta at night time.

An enriching experience in Jakarta

Han_C, Mar 2023

Thomas is a highly knowledgeable, wise, and kind tour guide. He provided tons of details (including historical and cultural background information) on the famous landmarks we visited and Jakarta neighborhoods we drove through during the evening. He is well versed in the history of his country, geopolitics, and cultural and religious traditions across Southeast Asia. His descriptions added a lot to my understanding about Jakarta, Indonesia, and its neighboring nations.

City by night

Elisabeth_D, Mar 2023

Excellent night trip! Visit to street market was very interesting. Our guide was very nice and told us lots of history of city and country. The boat yard at night was beautiful. Recommend if you have no time for tourists activities during the day.

Excellent night tour.

consult01, Feb 2023

Our guide, Thomas, was extremely knowledgeable of the history of the country and the capital, Jakarta. He showed us parts of Jakarta that few tourists get to see. I highly recommend this tour and guide.

Highly recommend

Kunihiko_H, Jan 2023

The guide was perfect. He knew Jakarta and Indonesian history very well and made our time very meaningful. I highly recommend the Jakarta Night Tour as it gives you an insight into Jakarta at night that foreign tourists might not have been able to discover.

Waste of time and money

Dasent_B, Dec 2022

The night tour was just a drive in the car. None of the places was open. The guide was lovely and friendly but this was not a tour just drive around. I will not recommend it to anyone. I felt it was a waste of time and money.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Hello Dasent, we really apologize and feel very sad if you didn't really enjoy this tour. The Jakarta night tour does not go into the national monument, mosque, and cathedral because they are closed at night, you can only visit it from the outside and our tour guide will take you to see it from the best side. We have included information in the tour description. when our tour guide offers you to stop and get out of the car to see the monuments, places of worship, and the old town of Batavia, you refuse because it's raining and you don't want to get wet even though our tour guide provides umbrellas, besides visiting monuments, places of worship and the old town of Batavia, Our tour guide takes you to visit the food and culinary street to try Jakarta pancakes and see snake and durian sellers according to the program offered. Once again we apologize if our service standards still cannot satisfy you, this will be a valuable lesson for us to improve our services going forward. Hopefully, this will not be a bad memory for you about tourism in Indonesia. Thank you very much for your review.
