Although I had only booked a trip to Ijen Volcano, the company picked me up from Surabaya airport and later transported me to Amed. Very, very sweet. jonny, the tour guide, was very conscientious and funny. That's why I fell in love with Indonesia when I first arrived.虽然我只预订了去Ijen火山的行程,但是公司从泗水机场接的我,之后又把我送到了Amed。非常非常贴心。导游jonny非常尽职尽责,并且人也很有趣。这是为什么我刚到印尼就爱上了这个国家。

We just completed a 3 day 2 night tour from Bali to Tumpak Sewu and Mt Bromo

It was a great trip! Our guide Dadang was so attentive, and knowledgeable he made sure we were comfortable throughout our journey.

The tour agency was also very attentive throughout the trip, it was all extremely well coordinated. Hotels chosen were clean and comfortable. We'd happily recommend them.

Thanks for a great Java experience!

Took 3 days tour service from the company and totally dissapointed with the tour service provided for Yogyakarta

Second day they started the tour very late (11am) and only provide 20mins visit for prambanan temple. After much argument they brought us back to prambanan temple the next day.
However due to this all the other tours was cut short such as the merapi tour which does not cover rumah mbah marijam or water manuver. They really spoilt our day by not purchasing the borobodur ticket earlier and we could not climb up the temple altough we are checking with the guide on daily basis on the ticket.
Their customer service is very bad. After borobodur temple visit they agreed due to their mistake they will compensate with prambanan temple ticket; however on the last day just before we leave to airport they send a revised invoice and blackmailed saying will bring in police if we dont pay the new additional amount. We have no choice other than paying as we are late to the flight. They don’t have proper communication between guide and agency and they are truly unprofessional.

Overall they are overpriCed for the service they provide. Would not recommend this

Dear Miss Tena,

May we clarify few things that seems to sound like A FALSE INFORMATION TO PUBLIC where the truth is not as you mentioned in the review.

1. As you requested in the message that you would like to watch the Ramayana Ballet which it starts performed at night (07:00 PM)

LET US SHOW YOU PREVIOUS MESSAGE:

[24/Sept, 07:34] T*******A R**********N :
As our flight we will reach Yogyakarta on 13 morning and leave on 16 morning. So we have almost 3 full days

[24/Sept, 07:34] T*******A R**********N :
PLACE
• Merapi
• Heha sky
• Borobudur
• Tamansari
• Gumuk pasir
• Prambhanan temple (14/10 7.30pm)

[24/Sept, 07:35] T*******A R**********N :
These are place that we would like to go. As per the prambhanan temple we would like to join the ramayana ballet on 14th night

Our tour guide has communicated to you about the pick up time on the second day. the guide has estimated the explore duration in each destinations before you visit Prambanan and continue to watch Ramayana Ballet Show at night and turns out you takes a little much time at Heha Sky View than the tour guide has estimated. The time has professionally estimated by our tour guide so you won’t have an idle time before the Ramayana Ballet Show Started.

After the negotiation as we are dealing the problem professionally and would like to you have a good time during your tour, we are taking the responsibility for your inconvenience on the 2nd day that you feel not enough time to explore Prambanan Temple, the entrance ticket for the 1st (2nd Day Tour) visit will be on us and you will not be collected in amount 750.000 IDR. We both agreed to drive you to the Prambanan Temple again on the next day as you requested (on the 3rd Day) and you did agree that you would buy the ticket by yourself for the second visit. We pay your ticket in advance and in the end you did not want to pay the ticket for the second visit to Prambanan Temple and gaslighting us that it should be our responsibility, which is we have cleared the things yesterday with the free entrance ticket on the first visit. That’s why we send you the revised invoice with the additional entrance ticket to Prambanan temple (second visit) that you have agreed before to bought it by yourself, and did not want to pay back to us in amount 750.000 IDR (for 2 people). We clarify that we a professional Tour Consultant and we would not do such a shame things as blackmailed you. Please clear your assumption!

2. About Merapi Jeep Lava Tour, we arrange the regular Merapi LavaTour without the visit to Rumah Mbah Marijan or Water Manouver for the regular tour package. Although you actually could ask to our tour guide with you in the location that you would like change the Jeep Package, we are definitely could help you with that. But until the tour finished, you did not convey anything then you suddenly brings this things up on the last day of your tour as a reason you would not to pay all the rest payment.

3. Then, about Borobudur Temple Ticket. In the morning when your tour started, our guide has offered a help to book the Temple Exploration Ticket to Borobudur Temple, and you said to our tour guide that you already have the entrance ticket and ask our guide to bought you the Prambanan ticket first (for the second visit). Everything is goes well until you all of sudden ask to our guide about the Temple Exploration Entrance Ticket to Borobudur Temple when it’s almost your visit to Borobudur (around a lunch time).

Of course, due to the temple exploration ticket is limited tickets, we could not make it since your all suddend request.

4. The Police things, since the things is getting complicated with your sudden complaint on the last day, also we both could not find the clear path of this debate, and since you were presistant not wanting to pay all the rest payment, we offer to ask the tourism police staff to mediate us. It is definitely not a blackmail.

And the last thing as your response for our offer to clear this things with the help of the tourism police, you threatening us that you will crushing our business down by writing a bad review on our page which the truth is not as you write here in the review. We think this is an inappropriate things to brings when we are trying to resolve the problem about the rest payment that you did not want to pay.

In the end, we have to say that you are playing as a victim where the truth is you are trying to take advantage of this opportunity for not paying all the rest payment of the trip which is 7,887,000 IDR (495 USD).

Thanks and regards,

Bali Java holidays organized us 4 different tours. They reserved us very nice, comfortable and clean hotels, internal flights, as well as English speaking drivers with very comfortable and clean cars who were also mainly our guides. We started the tour in Java, where we visited Java temples (all were
fantastic) and Java mountains (Bromo Mountain and Ljen Volcano were so beautiful at the sunrise). The second tour by boat in Komodo Islands, gave us the opportunity to enjoy the so beautiful Pink Beah, the coral barriers with enourmous turtles, mantas and the amazing shoals of fish as well as sunset with flying foxes. In the third tour in Flores we enjoyed mountains and lakes as well as the astonishing blue and green stone beach. The last tour we had was in Bali (more touristic): Here we visited other different and niche temples. In a nutshell we really lived an immersive Indonesian experience living different islands, different culture and different religions. We want to give a special thank to Jasmine and a special good deserved thank to driver Benny we met in Giava, driver Putu, we met in Bali and driver Angelo we met in Flores: all so professional . We had a great and unforgettable time!
