I thought the itinerary was well planned out. All three places that we went - Tumpak Sewu, Kawah Ijen and Mt Bromo were beautiful places to visit. Our driver was really friendly and helped us with communicating with the locals. Our accomodation and transport was all taken care of as well so we didn’t have to worry about that throughout the trip. Overall I would recommend others to go for this trip!

I enjoyed every bit of my trip. Warm hospitality from the driver and guide. Goes according to plan. Everything went well. Thank you team :) For area of improvement would be the itinerary. I believe many would prefer if their plan goes like this 1st day - free and easy 2nd day - Ijen 3rd day - Tumpak sewu 4th day - Mt Bromo However, my day 4 was Ijen, and it was a rush hike up and down as I had a flight to catch at 6.50 p.m. From Ijen to Surabaya airport will take approximately 6-8hr depending on the traffic. I think there's too much risk involved here if guests have a flight to catch on day 4 coming from Ijen. I would recommend day 4 would be Mt Bromo as its nearer to airport.
