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...

(Translated by Google) The Madakaripura-Bromo-Ijen tour was excellent. It was very well organized, and you were accompanied from the time you were picked up at the airport until you were dropped off at your next destination three days later. Our guide, Gufron, was excellent—very respectful, friendly, and always willing to help you get your best photo. Our driver, Mr. Joyo, is a great driver; always with a smile on...

Overall, a great experience! We booked the 4D3N Ijen, Papuma, Tumpak Sewu & Bromo tour (with the Madakaripura Waterfall add-on). Our guide, Gufron, was fun, communicative, and always willing to share interesting facts—plus, we bonded over our shared taste in music, which made the trip even more memorable. The driver was also great and drove very steadily, so we always felt safe.\n\nThe itinerary is quite packed an...

  • We just ended our 4D 3N tour! All the people from JVTO we came in touch were very helpful but especially our guide Gufron was exceptional! He was very easy to communicate, he was super funny, he knew every good spot in the visited places and made us feel comfortable in every situation! And all of them in a very professional way! Highly recommended

  • It was a safe and fun trip all around! Gufron and Joyo were both amazing and helpful. They were both great people to commit with. I also like that Gufron explained each trek before we did it, which helped us be prepared. Great for foreigners and people wanting a safe trip!

  • Loved the tour and our guide Gufron was friendly and accommodating, making sure no one fell behind during the hikes and always checking in with us to make sure we are doing ok. He even went out of his way to talk and learn about each of us personally which is something I appreciate.

  • We had a very professional organised tour with the team at JV. Our tour guide Gufron - was super friendly and made sure all our needs were taken care off...his knowledge of the area was also great. Our drive Joyo knows how to get from A to B in the fastest time possible! We did the 5/6 night tour but in hindsight the 4/5 night tour would have given us all the highlights of the region. I would use this company again - they are very professional and their online dashboard gives you all the information you need.

  • We had the best experience with Gufron as our guide for Mount Bromo and Mount Ijen! He was absolutely exceptional – always smiling, funny, and full of positive energy, yet never intrusive and always respectful of our space. He made the whole trip smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and we highly recommend him to anyone visiting Bromo and Ijen!

  • (Translated by Google) Fredi and Gufron are the best drivers and guides, respectively. Both were very entertaining, helpful, and extremely professional.\n\nBoth the experience at Mount Bromo and the waterfall, as well as the excursion to Ijen Volcano, were spectacular and highly recommended.\n\nThe meals and accommodations were also excellent.\n\nOverall, I highly recommend the experience with this agency, and if it's with Fredi and Gufron, even better.\n\n(Original)\nFredi and Gufron son los mejores conductor y guia, respectivamente. Ambos han sido muy divertidos, serviciales y grandes profesionales.\n\nTanto la experiencia en el Monte Bromo y la cascada como la excursión al Volcán Ijen han sido espectaculares, sin duda muy recomendables.\n\nLas comidas y los alojamientos también han estado a la misma altura, sobresaliente.\n\nEn general, recomiendo bastante la experiencia con esta agencia, y si es con Fredi and Gufron, mejor.

  • We had a fantastic trip to Bromo and Tumpak Sewu with JVTO and Gufron as our tour guide. We were picked up on time from the airport and was ferried to all the location in comfort. The whole tour is also accommodating and flexible - when we need to stop for break/quick snack purchase - it was always being accommodated\n\nThe operator responses for every questions and queries was also very fast and fantastic. when there was an issue (eg: the Ijen closure), the operators assisted in offering alternatives.\n\nDefinitely highly recommended!
