Everything was smooth from the get-go: the booking experience itself on the website and getting an almost immediate follow-up via WhatsApp to confirm pick-up and drop-off details. Communication was smooth and replies were always prompt. Also super glad that they were able to include one more location into the itinerary per my request to Madakaripura Waterfalls (at additional cost). Instructions were clear and driver was friendly throughout the 4 days and very skilled to cover long distances and regulate his way around traffic. Felt safe and taken care of each step of the way. Car was also clean and comfortable (caveat, I was a solo traveller so had all the space to myself). The different venue / location guides (Tumpak Sewu with Pak Min, Bromo with Ricky and Ijen with Ahmed) were also great at leading and showing me around the sites and value added by taking gorgeous photos and videos (you can tell they are trained as they know the best spots and poses to recommend even if you’re an awkward turtle like me in front of any camera). The hotels / accommodations were also ok - clean and not too shabby. Just don’t expect 5-Star luxury comforts with bathtubs and rainshowers- this is not that kind of trip. What was most important was they were clean, had hot showers and working air-conditioners to beat the heat and had an attached restaurant you could order food from. Basic essentials sorted. I had an excellent time and highly recommend this trip (: In the meantime enjoy some photos of my #legotravelcompanion #boywithbackpack at each of the 5 locations (Rainbow Village, Tumpak Sewu, Bromo, Madakaripura & Ijen) P/S - keen to explore other parts of Indonesia now especially Nusa Timur Tenggara Timur!

We liked the tour a lot and can definitely recommend it. Our driver Mr. Wawan was a very good driver, he even spoke German and always kept us up-to-date about departure times and events. The homestays and hotels on the tour were clean, conveniently located and the food was good. We also enjoyed the trips to Tumpak Sewu, Mount Bromo and Mount Ijen, even though it was hard to get up so early every day. Overall, we can recommend the trip!
