Travelling, art, history and photography are always my great passion. I therefore would like to share the fascinating friendliness, life style, entertainment, culinary and history of Jakarta to our guests. Jakarta is a fast growing multicultural city where a variety traditional and modern culture have flourished amazingly. I have fully Covid-19 vaccinated + booster shot, and been professionally trained by the Jakarta Tourism and Culture Office. My tour follows the health and safety protocols. I previously worked for more than 10 years in the U.S. Embassy Jakarta as political and information assistant. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Deakin University, Vic, Australia. Finally I am the founder and chair of Friends of Children's Ward foundation and member of ROTARY International Club.

We had a wonderful day in Jakarta with Benny. He is so knowledgeable about history and present topics of Indonesia and such an interesting interlocutor. If you would like to learn about Jakarta and not only want to see attractions, Benny absolutely is your right choice. Thanks a lot Benny!

I had an amazing day photographing unique places in Jakarta. The bad news, major military celebration in Independence Park, the great news is we avoided the crowds and took advantage of car free Sunday, cruised through Chinatown markets, visited a Hindu temple and then hung out at the wharves! Benny is an excellent guide, his life experience is an extra touch that you won’t find in other tour guides.

We had an excellent experience with Benny. Communication beforehand was outstanding, and he was able to accommodate a variable start time. He knows Jakarta, and is a real student of Indonesian history. Recommend!
