At the base, the National History Museum offers insightful exhibits that chronicle Indonesia’s fight for independence.

Monas is not just a monument; it’s a place where the past and present converge, offering visitors a profound sense of the nation’s heritage.

This historic district, with its preserved colonial architecture, offers a glimpse into Jakarta’s past as a bustling trading port. Wander through the cobblestone streets and visit the Fatahillah Museum, housed in the former City Hall, to learn about the city’s history. Don’t miss the Wayang Museum, showcasing traditional Javanese puppetry, and the Fine Arts and Ceramics Museum.

Istiqlal Mosque and Jakarta Cathedral

Just across the street, the neo-Gothic Jakarta Cathedral, built in the early 20th century, serves as the seat of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Jakarta. This proximity of two significant religious sites symbolizes Indonesia’s commitment to religious tolerance and unity. Guided tours of both sites provide deep insights into their historical and cultural significance.

JAKARTA'S HISTORICAL PORT
Discover Sunda Kelapa Port
Step into the rich maritime history of Jakarta at Sunda Kelapa Port. This historic port, which dates back to the 16th century, was once the bustling hub of the Sunda Kingdom and later a vital trading port for the Dutch East India Company. Today, Sunda Kelapa remains a vibrant and bustling port, offering visitors a glimpse into Jakarta’s past and present maritime activities.
- Traditional Pinisi Schooners: One of the most striking sights at Sunda Kelapa is the fleet of traditional wooden pinisi schooners. These majestic vessels, still in use today, are a testament to Indonesia’s enduring maritime traditions. Watch as these ships are loaded with goods bound for various parts of the archipelago, a scene that has changed little over the centuries.
- Historical Significance: The port played a crucial role in the spice trade during the colonial era, serving as a gateway for goods such as pepper, nutmeg, and cloves. A visit to Sunda Kelapa offers a fascinating insight into the economic and cultural exchanges that shaped Indonesia’s history.
- Maritime Museum: Adjacent to the port, the Maritime Museum (Museum Bahari) is housed in old Dutch warehouses. The museum features exhibits on Indonesia’s rich maritime heritage, including traditional boats, navigational instruments, and historical artifacts. It’s an excellent place to learn about the seafaring history of the Indonesian archipelago.
- Photographic Opportunities: The picturesque setting of Sunda Kelapa, with its historic ships and bustling activity, provides excellent photographic opportunities. Capture the vibrant colors of the pinisi schooners against the backdrop of Jakarta’s skyline and the serene waters of the harbor.
- Boat Tours: For a unique perspective, take a boat tour around the harbor. These tours offer a close-up view of the ships and the bustling port activities, providing a memorable experience of Jakarta’s maritime heritage.

Bugles23 October 2023Prompt responses, punctual, polite and flexible If you are looking for a journey through the marvellous island of Java, look no further. I cannot speak highly enough for these guys. Edu from Day 1 was prompt in coordinating the itinerary, being transparent and providing valuable ideas & recommendations for the trip. We just concluded the trip with one of the drivers Arif who was fabulous. Comfortable, safe, flexible, knowledgeable. All the things one could want. He knew when to speak and contribute and when to give us our privacy without needing to ever ask. They really know every corner of the island well and whenever we changed plans or requested for additional things to see, they were always flexible without touting a single bit. Even for souvenirs, they brought us to the authentic studios and factories instead of tourist traps. Would recommend them without any hesitation.
Axel29 July 2023Great orga, committed staff and you are in good hands for private tours We had an organised two week private tour with Java private Tours starting from Jakarta and ending in Bali (july 2023) for a family with 4 persons. Everything very good. Upfront discussion with Edu about the tour details was straight forward and responsive. We booked with Java Private Tour the transport incl Driver + Guide. I managed separately the hotels. We saw fantastic places. Our guide Iwan was excellent, experienced and very customer focused. The car was ok and in good shape. Driver was perfect. We agreed upfront that in Bali a second team from Java Private Tour would take over. It went very well and our Bali Guide Kerana was as good as Iwan. Overall i can recommend very much Edu and his company for private tours. Great orga, committed staff and you are in good hands.
Andreas J15 July 2023A Reliable and Professional Bus Rental Service, Good Job Java Private Tour! I had an amazing experience with Java Private Tour, a professional bus rental company for family and friends' vacations from Java to Bali. They provided exceptional service from the moment we were picked up at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. The team, led by Ridwan, was incredibly friendly and proficient in English, which made communication easy throughout the trip. They were not only courteous but also knowledgeable about the destinations we visited, providing valuable insights and enhancing our overall experience. The bus we traveled in was comfortable and well-maintained. It made our journey enjoyable, and we felt safe and at ease throughout the ride. I highly recommend Java Private Tour for anyone seeking a reliable and professional bus rental service. The team's friendliness, English proficiency, and comfortable buses made our vacation from Java to Bali truly memorable. Thank you, Java Private Tour!
Robert Wilson9 July 2023Awesome Private Tour & Airport Transfer with Java Private Tour! I have to say, Java Private Tour really went above and beyond with their private tour and airport transfer services when we travel to Jakarta, Bogor, and Bandung. They completely exceeded my expectations, and I can't recommend them enough. Right from the start, their airport pick-up and drop-off service was seamless. I was impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. They made sure everything went smoothly, and I felt well taken care of. The tour itself was amazing. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and tailored the itinerary to my preferences. They didn't just stick to the usual tourist spots but also showed me some hidden gems that I wouldn't have discovered on my own. It made the whole experience so much more authentic and enjoyable. Thanks Edu and Java Private Tour team, keep up the good work!
Ben R17 April 2023Excellent service, well worth the money. Just arrived home after spending 11 days touring across Java with Edu and his assistant Ridwan. Both guys were fantastic and made our holiday incredibly memorable. They were always flexible on the daily schedule and took excellent care of us whilst simultaneously teaching us about local customs and how to interact with locals. We learned so much over such a short time and we can't wait to return for another holiday in the future. We'll definitely be using these guys again. Miss you both!
Esther W8 August 2022Professional, friendly and helpful team Edu and his team were professional, friendly and helpful. They’ve made our first time in West Java a fun and memorable one. Thanks, and we’ll be back for more!
Hiroki29 July 2022Mount Sindoro & Mount Merbabu ; HIGHLY FLEXIBLE TRIP I did Sindoro & Merbabu hike trip with Agus and Reo in Yogyakarta. They're really kind to me and the trip was so FLEXIBLE. I was able to change my itinerary (which mountain to climb) even if the hike was on the next day. Beside being great guides, they're great drivers also. Great work Agus, Reo, and Edu, the chief of JPT. Let's keep it up!
Jamie Y13 July 2022Exemplary service that allows you to fit many destinations into a short amount of time I created a custom tour through Java Private tours from Bali ending in Surabaya that included Mt. Ijen, Madakaripura waterfall, Mt. Bromo, and Tumpak Sewu waterfall, all within 2 days and 2 nights. Everything went very smoothly and it was a huge load off of me for everything to be planned out, especially as all of these attractions are far away from each other and I only had a limited amount of time in Java. My driving team, Arie and Dayang, did an incredible job of getting me to everywhere I wanted, despite landslides and major road closures.
grainne v15 June 2022Exceptional service I cannot say enough good things about this company, especially Edu and Ridwan. They created a fantastic 'nostalgia tour" for my 85 year old mother who has not been back since 1946. They went above and beyond to find places my mother remembered and brought us to neighborhoods, cafe's, street stands and restaurants that triggered fantastic memories for her. They followed up with us after our tour of Jakarta, Bogor and Bandung and made sure we had good service from their counterparts in Bali. exceptional service! I will recommend them to everyone!
richiekohler22 October 2021Best Recommendation for Private Family Tour Organizer in Bogor Bandung and Car Rental in Bandung Bogor Thank you to Java Private Tour for arranging all the planning for my family's tour needs, starting from providing a car for airport shuttle transportation, traveling around Bogor and Bandung cities and the Puncak Bogor mountain area, arranging tourist destinations in the Bandung and Bogor areas, giving the best crew as a guide to accompanying us to introduce every side of Bogor City and Bandung City, and also recommending the best lodging in Bogor and Bandung according to the wishes of my Family. I am very impressed with the Java Private Tour service, especially regarding the honesty, the Java Private Tour could have arranged for us all at once in terms of lodging, but the owner Mr. Edu gave us the flexibility to book ourselves for the lodging that my family wanted, because the price would be far cheaper and will be more transparent without hidden fees, Edu is very patient in serving any questions and requests related to various things, and Edu is able to provide the best recommendations on various other interesting things in Bandung City and Bogor City, starting from Nature Tourism for families, education for children about art and culture, flora and fauna, and introducing traditional Sundanese cuisine. Always success for Java Private Tour, as a form of my gratitude because Java Private Tour has given the best to my family, so I will always help recommend Java Private Tour to anyone who wants to explore Bandung City and Bogor City.
