| Jakarta |
Located in the world’s most densely populated island of Java, Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia. It is also where most international travelers first arrive in the country. So why then are people in such a rush to get out and make their way to the next destination? It is because people don’t understand Jakarta. At first glance, it is a big, crowded, noisy city with too much pollution. Let’s face it. Jakarta is intimidating for new visitors and is therefore, misunderstood by most people. But for the more daring traveler with a strong desire to venture off of the typical tourist route, there is much to discover. Jakarta beholds a world of exotic sights, sounds, smells, and strange new experiences. The problem is, most tourists don’t know where to begin looking. And that is where Simply Jakarta comes in. We are more than just a tour guide showing you all of the common tourist traps at an hourly rate. Simply Jakarta is your host, your friend, and we can offer you something very unique altogether.
With Simply Jakarta you will get an inside look at everyday life amongst real locals. There are no tour buses here. You will have the opportunity to ride traditional modes of transportation without the fear of getting lost because we will accompany you on this special journey. Guests are also treated to authentic Indonesian cuisine from one of the many Sundanese and Padang restaurants that Jakarta is famous for. Don’t be surprised if there are no tourists nearby. After all, that’s why you’re came.
It doesn’t end there. Many tourists end up in hotels, tucked away from the true experience of Jakarta. But we invite you to take it one step further and stay in the neighbourhood for an evening or two. We will arrange for your accommodation in her community in East Jakarta where you will continue your immersion in the local way of life. If you decide to stay, you will enjoy an authentic Indonesian breakfast and complementary coffee or tea.
So are you ready to see the real Jakarta that cannot be seen from your hotel window? We welcome you.
