Our Story

From Local Host to
Police-Led Operator.

JVTO grew from a humble local guesthouse in Bondowoso into a licensed tour operator shaped by the Tourist Police experience of our founder, Mr. Sam.

We saw the gaps in safety standards first-hand and decided to build something different: private-only routes, realistic driving days, and clear written rules.

Today, we act as a bridge between wild adventure and professional safety standards.

Taufik our guide has been great. Hiked up mount ijen with a 12 and 15 years old in the wee hours of morning. For those with children, you will know it is not easy. Taufik ensure all briefing is always done prior to all trips and flexible with timing. When i wanted to eat local durians, he even we dropped by a well known durian stall to ensure we had it before we left!

It was a very fun trip It was a very fun trip. The driver, Yandi, took great care of us the whole time and brought us everywhere we wanted to go. The guides, Rendi and Yandi, communicated well in English and helped take really great photos. If you’re planning to travel to Surabaya, I highly recommend this place.
