To travel in Indonesia you can opt for one of three ways: by your own, with a group, or with a private tour. Private tour is the best way. Here are 7 reasons for preferring a private tour guide when you are in Jakarta or Bogor, Indonesia.

1. Transportation

By using a private tour service, the guide drives the car. He is a local people, so he knows many places, how to drive in comfort, knows the shortcuts, and can be your translator. Indonesian drivers are patient less because Jakarta and Bogor are very busy cities.

2. Flexibility

You needs an itinerary that will fit your needs. You can customize your travel easily. The only way you can have this is by using a private tour. You can stop and rest if you are tired, you can stop if you want to take some photo stops, you can change the plan easily, you can stay longer in a place if you like it. You have the final word because you are the boss.

3. Budget

Private tours are not cheap if compared to joining a group tour, but if you travel with your family or friends, you can share the costs. Another good point for you If you come from other country is Indonesian currency is very cheap. If you bring dollars or euro, you can have a lot of money (Indonesia Rupiah) to spend it in Indonesia.

4. Wasting time

Your time is valuable, therefore you don’t want to waste your time waiting for other people in a group. In a group tour you will have a few people that is always late and doing everything very slowly in toilet, shopping tour, and hotel. Private tour is the only way that you can assure you get your valuable time. If you are a disable person or an old person, you need a private tour as you don’t want to make any inconvenience to other people if joining a group tour.

5. Friendliness

Your guide is someone close to you, talks to you from a close distance and shares the experiences with you at the same time. From our experience the tour guide turns into a family member right from the beginning and become your long distance friend after you back to your country.
