I liked everything very much! Thank you for the organization! During and after the trip, we were grateful a thousand times that we chose this tour and you. I have no idea how people travel in a hurry to climb at night and return immediately back, it seems very hard. In the leisurely tour, everything is well thought out, and the hotel was simply superb! The guide on the volcano was great, the driver was great! A thousand thanks to you :)

I really liked the organization. Everything was precise, on time, and the staff answered all questions promptly before the trip. The list of essentials helped us pack and not forget anything. Transfer, accommodation, and programs were carried out 100%. Everything went smoothly. We are very satisfied with the trip! We really liked both the driver and the guide.

A long road to the port, we drove slowly, if it weren't for the -1 hour in Java, we wouldn't have had time to visit the forest. The program stated that tickets were included, but we had to pay. The forest is beautiful, highly recommend visiting it. The guide who accompanied us to the volcano made a video and awesome photos, big thanks to him))! Very attentive, always warned about dangers. The driver-guide was also great. It was calm on the road with him. What was not to my liking was that both the driver and the guide insisted on going to the hotel first after the volcano, and then to the waterfall. This didn't suit us, and according to the program, we asked to go to the waterfall after the volcano, which was the right decision.

Overall, the trip was enjoyable. The top of the volcano is very beautiful, it was worth it. However, climbing up is not easy, and descending isn't either, and there are a lot of people. The guide and driver were excellent - punctual and responsive. The Ijen hotel's grounds are very beautiful, but the quality of the food is terrible, especially the breakfasts (( We recommend the trip if you have the time, because the journey to Bali is quite long and tiring.
