“We had the best time on our 3D2N Java to Bali trip with JVTO. Rendi was a wonderful guide, super funny, punctual, knowledgeable and he takes the best photos! He answered all of our questions and gave us fun facts throughout the tour. He also speaks good English which made it easy to communicate. He introduced us to a lot of his guide friends, making for a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. All our concerns wer...”
“(Translated by Google) We did the 3d/2n tour from Surabaya to Bali. Our guide Rendi and our driver Johan made the tour unbeatable. Attentive from the first moment to our needs, explaining all kinds of curiosities and recommending the best restaurants and typical dishes of the areas we visited. JVTO also provided us with the transfer to our hotel in Bali after finishing the excursion to Ijén. (Original) Hicimos...”
“We had a wonderful trip! Mr. Yusuf (the driver) was so kind and patient, always helping us find the right spots and restaurants. He helped us take pictures. Mr. Rendi made our first day really fun and enjoyable. Everyone we met along the way was lovely and supportive. Truly grateful for the experiences — highly recommended! and might come back to Bromo!!”
“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.”
“The trip is very good! We enjoyed the planning, the driver, the itenary, the spots we visited, the place we stayed a lot. We feel so lucky to be able to see the blue flame and a clear sky mount Bromo as the weather was good We are lucky to meet a very friendly driver Rendy. His hospitality made us feel the whole trip to be safe and comfortable. Also thanks to our Ijen guide Rendy, a young guide with enthusiasm...”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our Ijen volcano tour! Guide Rendi and driver Holili were incredibly responsible, attentive and caring every step of the way. The hike up the volcano was challenging, and it meant the world to us that our guide kept cheering us on and motivating us throughout the climb. We really appreciate all their thoughtfulness and support. Absolutely a five-star experience, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
— Xiaochan Zhou · Google · 2026-10-29“(Translated by Google) We took the 3-day/2-night Bromo and Ijen tour from Surabaya to Bali, and it was a 10/10. The tour was amazing. Everything was very well organized and thought out. Incredible views. Our guide, Rendi, and the driver were very attentive and helpful. The only downside was that one of the hotels was very noisy. However, the second one was much better. (Original) Hicimos el tour de 3D/2N de Bromo e Ijen, desde Surabaya a Bali y la valoración es un 10/10. El tour impresionante. Todo muy bien organizado y pensado. Vistas increíbles. Nuestro guía Rendí y el conductor estaban muy pendientes de nosotros. Muy atentos y serviciales. La única pega que le pondría sería que uno de los hoteles era muy ruidoso. Sin embargo el segundo era mucho mejor.”

From start to finish Java volcano tour operator was very professional. Tour guide Randy and driver Alex were outstanding in every way. Very friendly duo, and very accommodating. Our first stop at madakaripura waterfalls was amazing. The rainfall effects from the waterfalls were just something else, one of the coolest experiences I've had. The bromo hike was less of a hike, and more of a short climb up the asphalt road to the viewpoint. And the views were simply incredible. Some of the most amazing photos I've taken in my life. We were fortunate to have a clear day, with no fog in the immediate viewpoint area, so it was more than what I could have hoped for. A short ride down to the bromo crater, and there were spectacular views directly from the edge of the crater. Ijen offers much more of a hike to the top. About 1.5 to 2 hours. You can opt to pay for a ride to the top on a cart, pulled by 2 locals. Cost is 1.5m idr, but honestly is a crazy job, the amount of work involved to pull a loaded cart up that level of incline and terrain is nuts. Equally nuts is watching the miners carry huge amounts of sulphur out of the crater pit along narrow rocky 'steps'. The view from the top was also amazing, but there was some fog issues that covered part of the lake at the crater. For those looking for the blue fire, I have been told by my guide that they are now seen via "man made" versions down at the pit. The natural ones are way further down into the crater, and for safety reasons, are off limits to tourists. Still, the effects of the blue flame were super cool. I opted for the one way route, as I was headed directly to bali, so my driver and guide seamlessly drove me to ketapang harbour, purchased my ticket and had me on my way to bali. Some of the coolest sights I've seen in my life. 3d2n is standard. 4d3n is recommended if you want to do tempak sewu. Aside from the excellent professional crew, an added bonus with this company is that their accommodations are excellent, considering this type of trip, and seeing reviews for other companies regarding their very basic homestays. Jvto offer anything but basic, in this regard. The stay at first stop was a nice, clean family run place. The second night's stay was at a resort, probably one of the nicer accommodations in the area. Definitely much more than I was expecting. Included food offerings were plentiful. I think I only paid out of pocket 1 or 2 meals during the entire 3 days. Amazing organization. And their price was on the lower side compared to some of the others. Very highly recommended.”

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 (Original) Nous 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. JVTO est une agence très professionnelle avec une bonne interface client sur le site web pour communiquer les informations en temps réel. Et nous avons été très bien accompagnés par nos guides et chauffeurs Rendi et Fredi qui ont répondu à toutes nos questions, nous donnaient de la visibilité sur le planning, avaient en tête le timing parfait pour arriver sur les sites et commencer les randonnées pour éviter la foule, et ils connaissaient tous les bons spots photos. Ils ont fait de ces excursions sur le Kawah Ijen et le Bromo un moment inoubliable ! Nous les remercions chaleureusement ainsi que toute l’équipe JVTO”
— Marine Netter · Google · 2025-08-27“The 4D3N volcano trip is really worth going!! We joined the tour from 31/7 to 3/8. We have had a great trip with our driver, Dika, he was being very helpful and caring, sharing things about Indonesia with us, taking us to different local and good restaurants, and also taking good care of us. He also provided flexibility for us to decide our schedules, I highly appreciate his professionalism!! Besides, for the Ijen tour, our guide, Rendi, also helped us a lot, he kept asking about our condition when we went up the mountain so that we were able to rest at any time. When we went down the steep crater, he held our hands to prevent us from falling. I like his energy that makes our journey so happy and memorable!”
— Wing Shan Lui · Google · 2025-08-03“We joined the Bromo–Ijen–Sewu trip with JVTO, and we were lucky to have Rendi and Anjas as our tour guides. They were absolutely amazing! Both of them were clear with their instructions, helpful throughout the journey, and brought such good vibes to the whole experience. They provided strong emotional support and knew exactly how to connect with our young team. Always friendly, patient, and cheerful, they made a physically demanding trip feel a lot more enjoyable. If we get the chance to travel with JVTO again, we truly hope Renji and Anjas will be our guides once more. Highly recommended!”

— Huier Ng · Google · 2025-07-27“We had a wonderful trip, made even better by the people who took care of us throughout the journey. Our driver, Johan, was incredibly nice and made the rides smooth and comfortable. Our guide, Rendi, was extremely competent! Professional, knowledgeable, and always ready to answer our questions with a smile. Despite the weather not being on our side (Rendi said it was one of the worst he's seen), the team ensured that we were well taken care of at every step. Their level of preparation, professionalism, and friendliness truly stood out and made the experience enjoyable regardless of the conditions. Highly recommend this team for anyone looking for a reliable and pleasant tour experience!”
— JunYoung Lee · Google · 2025-05-26“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. Next 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“Thank you JVTO & Rendy. Help and give us wonderful trip during these 4 days. I will recommend my friend to choose JVTO.”
— Mona Hsiao · Google · 2024-08-09“We had an incredible journey with JVTO during our recent trip to Tempak Sewu Waterfall and Mount Bromo! From the moment we embarked, everything was meticulously planned and executed flawlessly. Our tour guide, Rendi, and driver, Gean, were exceptional. They were not only proficient in English but also engaged us in enriching conversations throughout the trip. Initially, our itinerary included a visit to Mount Ijen. However, due to increased volcanic activity, JVTO swiftly offered us alternative destinations. We opted to explore Tempak Sewu Waterfall, and it turned out to be a breathtaking experience that exceeded our expectations. Overall, our experience with JVTO was outstanding, and we wholeheartedly recommend their services to fellow travelers. We're already looking forward to booking another tour with JVTO in the future, particularly to visit Mount Ijen once conditions allow.”
