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.

Jakarta is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. This special tour would visit several interesting places for the photography lover & traveler such as historical sites, business district, urban village, traditional market, street vendors, local transportation, fishing village and many others. A professional photo model could be arranged, if requested.
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.
Benny is a wonderful and very Knowledgeable guide. He managed to show us so much in just one day and explain the history of the city and the country so well. Thanks!
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!
Bennie was such a jewel with amazing knowledge and insight and experience to share! We loved him and felt like he became a friend rather than just a tour guide! Loved the perspective he has about Indonesia and loved what we saw. Amazing place!
