5.00Such an incredible experience traveling with the indotravel team. All of their workers were amazing, from the drivers to the guides to the hostel hosts and the owner as well. They answered all of our questions and helped us all along the way. Sahal was our personal guide throughout the journey and he was super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. We had great conversations and you can tell he really cares a lot about the guests and their experiences. From climbing the rim of Mt Bromo for sunrise and also the incredible viewpoint to hiking up and down the crater of the Ijen volcano, the 3 days were full of incredible experiences and memories I will never forget. While it was a long 3 day journey from Bali with long rides in the van, I could not imagine trying to do this on my own. With the professionalism of the Indotravel team added on top of the convenience of just having to hop in the van and go, I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore and be a little adventurous. The hostel accommodations were fine, nothing super fancy but that is to be expected when you are having an immersive experience. Thank you again to the indotravel team for a lifetime of memories and friends made along the way.
Incredibly organised, great value tour that you will remember for the rest of your life!

5.00This tour was truly a once in a lifetime experience. My partner and I had and amazing time at both Bromo and Ijen. Everything was so well planned, from the meeting place all the way to drop off. Our driver Epi was so patient with us and made a great effort to ensure everyone was well cared for. Someone in our group needed a SIM card for their phone and he tried to stop at every possible shop on route to help her. He is also a very skilled driver, we felt very safe with him. Our stay in Bromo was great! The town had a great vibe and we were very well fed. Os who took us up to bromo was such a lovely guide! He was incredibly kind and knowledgable. He made sure we had plenty of breaks on the steep walk up the mountain. I honestly did not feel hungry this entire trip. We were so well fed and we really enjoyed every meal provided to us. Our ijen stay was beautiful, the staff were all so kind and welcoming. Thank you Petra for being such a beautiful host to us we felt very welcomed. Our group had a lot of questions about ijen and you really put our minds at ease. The ijen hike was quite physically straining for me but the equipment and gas mask provided to us was great quality and very useful. Our guide Harry was so patient with us (even though my partner and I walked very slowly). We never felt rushed or unsafe at any point of the hike. Harry was so humble, he knew all of the amazing photo spots and took some incredible pictures for us. Harry even held our hands to help us navigate the steep rocky areas. We want to thank the indotravel team for creating such a beautiful memory for us. Something we will remember for our lifetime. :)

4.00Don't expect luxurious settings (even hot water everywhere you sleep), be ready for a lot of driving and harduous hiking, but eventually you see Bromo and Ijen, both spectacular places to experience. They do Bromo the opposite way of the crowd, which allows less business on the trail, brilliant. For Ijen there is no other way, it is steep and crowded, so avoid the weekend.
