Get a glimpse into Indonesia’s rich history and culture on this full-day tour that takes in Jakarta’s National Museum and bustling old harbour. Created especially for first-timers to Indonesia, this excursion delivers an overview of the country, its history and the people who reside here.
Our first stop is the National Museum, which features an extensive collection of artefacts and relics. This includes one of the country’s most complete collections of bronzes and ceramics dating back to the Han, Tang and Ming dynasties.
