Our trip was very well planned, with enough spacing between events to make it both enjoyable and relaxing. The driver assigned to us was exceptionally friendly, punctual, and cheerful throughout. He not only kept us on schedule but also went out of his way to help us find great places to eat and made sure we were comfortable at every stop. The itinerary helped us make the most of our three days in Indonesia — we managed to see two volcanoes and one breathtaking waterfall without ever feeling rushed. The checkpoints and pacing ensured we had time to rest and recuperate between activities. At each of the tourist spots we visited, the local guides were wonderful — friendly, knowledgeable, and surprisingly talented photographers. They helped us capture some truly beautiful pictures and made sure we looked our best in every shot. Overall, I would highly recommend the itinerary and the agency. Every touchpoint — from the staff to the driver to the local guides — reflected friendliness, helpfulness, and genuine care for making sure we had a great time.

Would highly recommend this tour, driver was lovely and very organised. Both accommodations were lovely and the food at the homestay was very cheap. Local guide was great at Bromo and took us to a hidden spot and took beautiful photos. Local guides for the waterfall were lovely as well and again were excellent photographers. Perfect timing for both spots as well as it was very quiet when we went.

great trip. Great organization. Great driver. Had a private trip 4d3n Surabaya. Amazing landscape and good accommodation. Communication with our driver was interesting but possible and he was so sweet. Thanks for everything.

From start to finish, this trip was truly incredible. Everything was so well organised — from the accommodation to our amazing driver Benny and the fantastic local guides. If you’re looking for an all-rounded Java experience without having to think about logistics, I can’t recommend this package enough. A huge thank you to Boyo Tour and Seek Sophie for creating such an unforgettable journey!

I loved from the first touch that I got with the team their flexibility and openess, no matter how many questions I got haha. It was a bit hard for us since we were on a tight schedule, but they make it possible! We did rainbow village and the waterfall in the first day, Ijen mountain second day and Bromo mountain the last to be as close as possible to the airport(Surabaya). For those interested to come in this trip, there are also some sleeperbuses connecting Bali with Surabaya or Malang. Java is a muslim country so make sure to dress appropiate. Our driver, Rizky, was a very nice person, although he didnt know too much English, he took us to some amazing places to eat (ask for the Lava Hill Resort restaurant&cafe when you are at your accomodation to Bromo). You can rent your mountain jackets at Ijen and Bromo for the price of 30k IDR(1,50€) so dont carry it with you(if you can). They have scarfs and hats too if needed. For the waterfall prepare to get real wet so get a waterproof small bag to carry some napkins to wipe off the screens of the cameras. The guide received in there was very involved in making the photos and videos and he even did a nice memory video with us. Thank you! There are also some bathrooms where you can change your clothes after. You can rent water shoes too (20K IDR). Prepare small cash with you as you can eat and drink something after you re done with the waterfall. As for the accomodations they were very comfortable, except that the hotel where we stayed for our Ijen trip didnt had hot water which after you re doing a cold trip to the mountain was very much needed. The second accomodation had everything you needed, but heads up the walls are super thin so bring some earplugs to fall asleep easily and get ready for the early wake up. The breakfast was indonesian at the hotel. The second breakfast was omlette and fruits. Anyway, you can stop anytime and get to try more authentic snacks so for us was no problem. The nature that we saw in this trip is trully breathtaking and its worth all the sleeping time sacrificed! P.S.: if you have only hand luggage be aware that you will not be allowed to travel with the Ijen sulfur souvenirs 😅
