“(Translated by Google) I participated in a tour of Java's Mount Ijen Volcano, Mount Bromo, and Madakaripura Waterfall. The comprehensive outdoor plan included airport transfers, meals, accommodation, and a guide. Our accommodation, Riverside Homestay, even had a pool, making for a truly enjoyable stay.

“We had an absolutely amazing experience on our 3-night, 4-day East Java tour! We chose this company because we wanted a slower pace compared to the usual 2-night, 3-day itinerary, as well as more flexibility and it was honestly perfect. From start to finish, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. The accommodations were lovely, the food we had was great, and we felt completely safe throughout the entire tr...”

“JVTO made my trip a very memorable trip. Both the guide (Taufik) and the driver (Fredi) were very warm and kind, easy to engage in conversation and know what they are doing. Not to mention they are very flexible and adaptable as well when the situation calls for it. They also made the trip very safe and being a local guide, they know the tricks and tips to avoid crowd and get the best shots / locations. Overall I really did enjoy this trip and I would definitely recommend them to everyone if they ever visit.”

Shoutout to Freddie and Fauzi for always accommodating to us; from entertaining our nonsense/requests and also for always making us break into laughter with their fresh set of jokes. We are really grateful and thankful to have them as our guide and driver. They make this trip a really stress- free, enjoyable and a memorable one. We would like to also express our biggest appreciation for always being patient with us especially during the hike. May God bless yall!🤍”

— Dawid Ziemba · Google · 2026-06-15“We joined the 4D3N East Java volcano tour with Java Volcano Tour Operator (JVTO) from April 30 to May 3, 2026, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our driver Fredy was friendly, professional, and very attentive throughout the trip. He safely drove us across East Java and even brought us to a perfect sunrise spot at Bromo. At Tumpak Sewu, our guide Fusuli was amazing. He carefully guided us through slippery trails, river crossings, and climbing sections while also taking incredible photos and videos for us along the way. At the end, he shared all the edited photos and videos, which left us with wonderful memories of the trip. For Ijen, our guide Juan was also kind and professional. Even though the blue fire was closed during our visit, we still enjoyed the beautiful crater lake and sunrise. We also had many enjoyable conversations about Indonesian culture during the hike. From the beginning of the tour until our arrival in Bali, everything was smooth, well organized, and thoughtfully arranged. We are very happy we chose JVTO and would highly recommend them to anyone planning an East Java volcano adventure.”
— Rebecca Tsai · Google · 2026-05-18“It was an incredible experience. The organization was excellent. Our guide was Fauzi, and our driver was Fredy. Huge thanks to them for their professional approach, smiles, easygoing attitude, and for making everything so comfortable! I forgot my earphones in the car, and Fauzi and Fredy went out of their way to help me and send them back via J&T Express. Such incredible kindness! If I could give 100 out of 5, I absolutely would. Definitely recommended!”
— Яна Мисюченко · Google · 2026-04-24“Rendi and Fredi (the guide and the driver) are very kind and helpful. Rendi is an excellent photographer who took a lot of great photos of us. The trip was well-organised, and flexible with our requests. However, considering the price of the tour, we expected a better quality of accommodations.”
— Yip Chuiyee · Google · 2025-12-30“Rendi and Fredi were great tour hosts. All your needs were taken care of throughout the tour. All the days were fully explained in advance what to expect and when to be ready.”
— Geoffrey · Trustpilot · 2025-12-02“We recently completed a tour by Java Volcano Tour Operator (JVTO) to Mt Bromo as well as IJEN and we were very satisfied with the arrangements made by the team. The team was very responsive, the trip was organised smoothly and our driver, Fredi, did a fantastic job, ensuring that we got from place to place safely and on time. We would certainly recommend going for a tour with JVTO!”
— Jeremy Teo · Google · 2025-10-28“We joined the 3D2N Mount Bromo, Madakaripura Waterfall, and Ijen Crater Tour and had an awesome time!\n\nThe tour was really well organized, with hikes spaced out just right so we had enough rest. There was also plenty of time to check out each spot. The food and accommodation were way better than we expected.\n\nBig thanks to our guide Gufron—he's super friendly and fun to hang out with. His briefings (and pretty drawing) before each hike were professional, and he looked after us the whole trip. He also knows all the best spots for photos! Our driver Fredi was always on time. The whole crew made the trip amazing and totally unforgettable.\n\nWe highly recommend this tour!\n10/10!!”

JVTO is a very professional agency with a good customer interface on the website to communicate information in real time. And we were very well accompanied by our guides and drivers Rendi and Fredi who answered all our questions, gave us visibility on the schedule, had in mind the perfect timing to arrive at the sites and start the hikes to avoid the crowds, and they knew all the good photo spots. They made these excursions on Kawah Ijen and Bromo an unforgettable moment! We warmly thank them as well as the entire JVTO team\n\n(Original)\nNous avons pris le package 3D/2N pour faire le Kawah Ijen et le Bromo avec un pick up à Bali et une dépose à Surabaya et nous sortons enchantés de cette excursion.

— ash_ash · Google · 2025-05-13“I am glad I chose Java volcano tour operator. Your service is spectacular. Right from communication to providing on time service, it has been amazing over all. Now to specify the members of your team… Freddie was the first one to meet in Surabaya hotel, he is a very punctual sweet and friendly person who is always on time no matter what time of the day. Exceptional driving skills.\nNext we met Rendi for the ijen trek… again a very polite, punctual and well informed person. Kept us accompanied and encouraged us through out the trek. We had the time of our life these 2 days capturing memories for a lifetime. Every other person we encountered from your team for the jeep, cab and boat were all well coordinated and made us feel safe. Thank you once again for making it the best trip ever. I will highly recommend”
— Pooja prakash · Google · 2025-04-05“My journey to Surabaya was indeed an unforgettable one. I had two main guides (Freddie and Ah Boi). Both of them were very nice, knowledgeable and most importantly they ensured my safety was taken care off. Every where I went, they ensured what I want to do was tick off the list. They were friendly as well. I highly recommend them as your guides if you were to travel to Surabaya. They made my memories an unforgettable one in Surabaya. Thank you both of you :)”

We took the 5D4N package and over the course of several days, we explored some of the region's most iconic destinations, including Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, Mount Bromo, and Mount Ijen.\n\nOverall Experience:\nEverything is prepared and well-planned for the entire trip. All detailed information is written on the website and you will easily have a worry - free journey.\nTheir passion for East Java was infectious, and their attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our trip was smooth and enjoyable. From arranging comfortable accommodations to recommending local delicacies, JVTO went above and beyond to make this trip unforgettable.\n\nConclusion:\nWe cannot recommend JVTO highly enough for anyone planning to explore East Java. Their expertise, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm for sharing the wonders of their homeland made our journey an absolute delight.\n\nThank you, Freddy and Juan , for an incredible adventure that exceeded all expectations.\nWe look forward to our next exploration with you!\n\nFinal Thoughts:\nIf you're looking for a memorable tour experience that goes beyond the typical sights, JVTO is the perfect choice.\nThank you, JVTO for an unforgettable day!”
— Chrystal Tan · Google · 2024-07-12“Everything was very good for this tour and we had wonderful sunrises. Our driver/tour guide Fredi was attentive but spoke very little English and drove a little too fast. Anjas was a fantastic guide for the Ijen hike and spoke great english. The jeep tour for Mt Bromi was great.\nWe gave it a 4 because the Grand Whiz hotel room needs renovation and our bathroom leaked water all night. We would suggest checking the room first because many people complain on the reviews.\n\nWe booked on Klook. Would recommend this tour operater.”
— Zohar Kritzer · Google · 2024-02-24“Recently did the 3-day tour to Ijen and Bromo. Fredi, our guide, was knowledgeable and made the trip enjoyable. The blue flames at Ijen were mesmerizing. A great escape for nature lovers”
— Nawwab Syarif · Google · 2024-01-25“Memorable 4-day journey exploring Ijen, Papuma, Tumpak Sewu, and Bromo. Fredi, our guide, was friendly and accommodating. Each destination had its own charm. Highly recommended!”
