Amazing time at Ijen - The whole experience from beginning to end was fantastic. The team arrived early and was ready to go! We were one of the first groups to start up the “hill”. Our guide, Wawan, was right behind us the whole way. Our driver was smooth and comfortable both ways! Wawan had been doing this hike for years and knew the route well and was encouraging and full of knowledge. We really enjoyed his guidance and company. All in all an amazing experience. Ijen is an amazing hike and if you get the right guide and it makes it all the much better. This company have a great guide in Wawan!

Excellent tour company and exceptional nature phenomenon - We had an excellent Ijen trekking tour yesterday. Aldo is very experienced and proactive operator. He customized our tour to give us the best possible experience. Thanks to him, we lost no time receiving medical authorisation and we positioned well for the trekking right when the gate was opened at 2:00am. Please be aware that there is a huge number of people trekking to the same small place in the crater where the blue light is observable. The last leg of the trail from the crater edge down to the blue light spot is treacherous. So, a trekking guide is recommended. Aldo introduced us to the guide Rouf who did excellent job leading us during the 6 miles round trip hike. For those who do not want to walk, there were many locals providing "taxi" services up and down. If you are lucky with the weather, you can see all three main attractions of the hike: the blue light, the sunrise, and the crater lake from the rim. I strongly recommend the activity and Aldo as a Ijen trekking tour operator.

Adventurous and fun tour!! - Do it! It’s a very cool and adventurous tour!! We had a great and unique experience! Big thanks to our two guides for this adventurous tour! Our driver, and the guide who joined us on our trip down the crater, were both extremely friendly and helpful! Both guides speak English very well and are funny and extremely friendly. The tour is well organized, and our driver even drove us to our next destination after completing the tour! Absolutely worth it!

Language skills and service to customer quite bad but beautiful experience - Great scenery and challenging descent to the crater. Guides and drivers are not all that nice with tourists. So different from Bali where you feel welcomed everywhere.
