Great day! - WOW! to see the volcano and dine outdoors was amazing. We lucked out and had only the 4 of us on our tour. We saw many things, local and scenic, cultural and historical. What a wonderful day with a very well informed guide. The dance was great.....most entertaining. This tour was enhanced because we were only 4...not part of a larger group. Good for seniours.

good but lunch wasn't great - got to see lots of different sites as there was just two of us so they took us to other places to visit such as the batik studio and the coffee plantation. Because there was only 2 of us it felt awkward not buying something from everywhere we stopped. The only downside was that we never got to choose a restaurant for lunch, it was our guides choice and for a fussy eater there was not much in the buffet i ate so it was not worth the price.

Better avoid this! - Only one spot is worth visiting. Otherwise, total waste of time and money. Tour guide was friendly though.
