Great experience to see Ijen, Bromo and Tumpak Sewa waterfall with all accommodation, tours and transfers included. Our driver Wahyu was brilliant - always very friendly and very safe, even when driving in the middle of the night.
The accommodation at Ijen was the best, the other 2 places were quite basic but did the job, especially when you will have very early starts (leaving 7am for the waterfall, 2am for Bromo, and even 11pm for Ijen though we postponed to midnight).
In my opinion Mount Bromo was the best. Absolutely incredible views. The views of Ijen were incredible but I definitely wouldn't recommend hiking down to the blue fire. Absolutely packed full of tourists and quite dangerous at the bottom as crowds of tourists are shoving each other to get close to the blue fire. We left the hotel at midnight in order to see the blue fire at night. I would much rather have left later, arrived in time for sunrise and then hiked down to the crater when it's light already. That way you can still enjoy the views but will enjoy the hike more since the crowds will have already left.
