“Our guide Made Cheng was exceptional! He was always early for excursions and gave us great lessons in the history of the areas visited. Made came with us every bit of the journey making sure we were safe. His English was very good so there was no problem communicating. Ijen Crater was closed due to hazardous emissions, but the Waterfall replacement was awesome! This tour was the highlight of our visit to Indonesia since Made was such an active guide!”

“Wawan was by far the best guide we had in Indonisia. He was funny, helpfull, he knew a lot about places and local customs and he was a safe driver. He made the whole trip a lot better and more worth the money. The activity itself was also pretty nice but you have to get up pretty early each time. it's okay if you are prepared for it but it's still a thight schedule. You may want to take it easy the following days of your vacation.”

“Our driver was Depik. He drived very safe. We could sleep in between stops and not to be afraid of our lifes as in the Bali driving a bit chaotic. It was not easy trecking to Ijen Crater but it was worth it. It was quite cold at night on the top, so bring your warm clothes or you can buy hat there or rent jacket. Bromo vulcano sunrise and crater views were amazing. Bear in mind that hygiene level in Java very different from Europe.”

“Our guide Johann was very informative and entertaining in his discussions. We were picked up from our hotel in San Jose on the first morning and driven to Arenal volcano by Oscar (our driver) and Johann. We walked a short distance from the parking lot to the viewing point to view the volcano from a distance. In the afternoon after a sumptuous lunch, we were driven to La Fortuna waterfalls. To get an amazing close-up view of the waterfalls, one has to walk down 530 steps to the bottom and then come back up taking the same 530 steps. It may be an arduous task for some travelers.
