This is a long day trip out of Jakarta but well worth it. Our guide Thomas was very knowledgeable and kept us informed throughout the entire trip. Our driver Dona also did an excellent job of navigating both the highways and mountain roads. We had a perfect day at the volcano and an overall great trip. My wife and I booked this as a private tour and had no worries about COVID, as both our driver and guide maintained all of the protocols required while showing us the sites. I highly recommend them.

While its worth a day out and there is a lot to see and do (especially for kids) somehow it also feels like there is more potential that hasn't been reached. The actual floating market doesn't need a boat to get to, you can just walk it, and it's more like a large pond than anything else. There's plenty of crafts to buy and places to eat, plus train rides and rabbits and that sort of thing which kids would enjoy. Would recommend for about half a day.

It was fun to learn and understand how to cook Indonesian food. Maybe nothing that will make you a professional chef, but good enough to understand the principles of cooking practices in the Indonesian cuisine.
