We were three friends traveling together, we visited Mt Bromo and Mt Ijen in a 3D2N tour. Endri made sure our trip was perfectly organized. If you’re looking for a hustle-free tour for visiting both spots, this is the way to go. Jolo, our friendly driver arrived almost one hour before our pick up time to ensure our trip was synchronized. He was a good driver and he stopped along the road anytime we asked him to do so, to grab some food or having a break.

We made the tour of three days and two nights and visited the volcanoes Bromo and Ijen. It was fantastic! The organization of the company is brilliant and makes things much easier for the client. The experience of the volcanoes is very good. The sunrise at the Bromo is very beautiful and the Ijen is an unforgettable experience. If you intend to visit the Ijen you have to visit the blue fire (amazing!). It is a bit of a hard trek but nothing that can't be done. Our local guide was a former sulphur miner and it was great to have him as a guide. The Ijen has a sad and unfair part that is also worth seeing and that is that the sulphur miners work in terrible conditions, very hard and expose themselves to serious health problems and earn a pittance. Everything is worth visiting! I recommend it 100% and the agency too. And I cannot finish without mentioning our fabulous guide we had during the three days. He is Mull and he is a real cracker :)
