Ratih did an excellent job of arranging our trip. Her English is great and she’s a good conversationalist. We were picked up at our front door and well taken care of during the entire day by her. Our favorite part was visiting the volcano. We hiked down to one of the craters and loved the fresh air and exercise. It’s a gorgeous location. The COVID-19 pandemic, of course, impacted the sites we visited - some positively and some less so. There were hardly any tourists, so we felt like we had most places to our selves. This was a particular treat at the volcano where we felt like we were in the wilderness, rather than the bustle of normal times. The luwak coffee farm was nice, though quiet. Ratih did a good job of translating how they make the coffee. The best part was holding a civet cat. Normally food would be offered there, but during the pandemic it was not on offer. No matter. Ratih took us to a fun restaurant instead and we stopped at a few local fruit stands to sample local produce. The hot springs resort was most impacted by the pandemic. The resort has channeled hot spring water to create a series of pools where one can soak their feet. An extra fee will allow you to swim in a warm pool with water falls and get a back massage. Normally there are amusement rides for children but those are closed due to COVID and so are most food stalls. I imagine it would be a lot of fun, especially for kids, if we had visited before the pandemic and if it hadn’t started to rain. :) Overall, a wonderful trip. Ratih made everything so easy. We recommend it.
