This is a good half day trip to orientate around old Batavia (Jakarta). My guide, Mr Julfrid was very knowledgable and had lots of information on culture and history of West Java and Indonesia.
Traffic is always bad, so our driver expertly kept us on schedule.
The puppet maker was closed today, so we had a longer walk around the central area.
The lunch was excellent (quality and choice) and I was the only European in an Indonesian restaurant, as place was used by local people (which shows it was good).
The mosque and cathedral were good visits.
Jakarta has a lot of infrastructure developments so traffic is always bad. So be ready to be flexible.
Thank you
