Summary: We had a great experience on our 5D4N (did not find in the drop down menu but our tour also included the turtle sanctuary) trip in East Java with our guide YOGI and driver BANU. YOGI is very experienced and knew a lot of details about each tour stop and some points only locals know - he was always helpful and a very warm-hearted person in general. He knew when to go to each location to avoid the biggest crowds. BANU was a safe driver who never seemed to lose his patience. Our highlight was Ijen Crater, where we almost arrived first at the blue fire, so we did not need to wait a long time in the sulfur smoke. The views and nature were stunning. Both the car and the accommodations were good as well. We would highly recommend a tour with them!

Summary: From the moment we were picked up in Munduk by a super friendly driver (Aria) everything was just perfect. We spent 4 amazing days with Anam (our guide) and Max (our driver), two incredible persons who made the trip truly special with their kindness, effort, and energy. The sights were breathtaking, but it was Anam and Max who made the journey unforgettable. Huge thanks also to Sofyan for the flawless organization and for going the extra mile to include my dream hotel, it meant the world! Highly recommended for anyone who wants more than just seeing beautiful places, this is about connecting with wonderful people too.

Summary: We just got back from the most incredible 5D4N trip through East Java with our guide Rahman and driver Erfan, and honestly, it was the adventure of a lifetime. We’re so grateful to both of them for making the experience so smooth, fun, and memorable. We extended the trip to include Baluran National Park, which Rahmen even went out of his way to get us a yellow jeep to rent (my fav jeep colour)! Throughout the whole journey, Rahman was amazing. He somehow knew every fun fact about the places we visited, including the height of every volcano we visited would randomly point at in the distance. He was also happy to adjust the itinerary based on the weather or how we were feeling, and everything just flowed really naturally. He also knew exactly where to go for the best photos, when to avoid the crowds, and how to time everything so we were never stuck in traffic. To add to that, he was incredibly patient with us taking photos — always happy to help, never rushed us, and somehow managed to capture some of our favourite shots of the whole trip (and some great vids!) Erfan was such a calm and reliable driver — always on time, always helpful, and made even the longest drives feel comfortable and safe. This trip was packed with amazing views, early mornings, lots of laughs, lots of car ride naps and moments we’ll never forget. If you’re planning a trip to East Java, we couldn’t recommend Rahman and Erfan more. They really went above and beyond!
