We booked the 3D2N tour from Surabaya to Bali and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Madakaripura waterfall was stunning, the sunrise over Mt. Bromo felt unreal, and the trek to Ijen was such an adventure. The accommodation was comfortable and everyone along the was very friendly. Kiki was an amazing guide; he took us to spots where there were fewer crowds, snapped some awesome pictures for us, and gave us tips for the rest of our time in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. And we had a great driver in Yandi, we felt very comfortable the whole time with him behind the wheel. We also booked a transfer to Ubud which was nice and convenient, a porter took us across the ferry to bali and our driver was there waiting for us on the other side. Didn’t catch his name but he was very friendly and gave us advice on what to do near our hotel in Ubud. This was a very well organized tour and I would absolutely recommend JVTO to anyone considering coming to East Java.
