Everything went great. It so happened that we were alone with the guide, who turned out to be a very cool guy. The views and experiences were magnificent. The only downside is that there is no toilet at the top. But this can be attributed to the peculiarities of the area😉. This is about Batur. Then there was a nice walk on the lake. There was also a great local guide who explained everything and took photos. The village of the dead left a peculiar impression. For informational purposes, it's okay. In essence, it's a place where dead people lie and there are lots of flies. And the locals ask for money😂

The team provided was excellent, the driver arrived on time at the appointed time, and the guide was already waiting for us at the place. We were given a free breakfast before the hike (bananas in batter, it was delicious), in addition to what was included, and set off around 3 a.m. We were together with my husband; he didn't have time to get tired because I stopped every 200 meters and shouted leave me here 🤣, thanks to the guide for his patience. Result: we reached the highest point tired but happy. The view is stunning, the atmosphere magical (more than 600 people were climbing this night) can you imagine this energy? I almost died, but I have no regrets! Thank you!

Liked: - the organizers were always in touch via messenger and answered all questions very promptly, helped us choose a convenient payment method - driver Putu: ensured our comfort during the ride - guide: helped and encouraged during the ascent (which was, to be honest, not easy), and then took beautiful photos of us)) - monkeys that were at the top of the volcano and emerged from the canyon - delicious food Disliked: - at the end of the tour, we sailed to a cemetery without any narrative, just entered, looked around, and left, at first even not understanding what we were looking at, then we started asking questions to the person who brought us there by boat, and the local next to him, they answered, thanks to them, and we googled the rest) This did not spoil the overall impression of the tour, but a brief story at least (even on a leaflet) would have been nice
