Had a great time! - Really well organized trip to see the volcano. The drivers were very nice. Comfortable and air-condition car to the jeep pick up. The volcano was cool, I think the jeep ride its self was the best part. Super fun for adventures to be on the open road. Driving through the water was my highlight! Definitely worth the trip :)

Great fun - Really well organised trip by Diki who collected us and was a great driver/guide and happy to chat about the volcano history as well as contemporary life in Java. Our jeep experience was good fun and the clouds almost cleared away for a magnificent view.

Best jeep tour ! - We had such a great time! Our driver Diki was the absolute best! He was so sweet and wonderful to chat with. He even helped us book a ticket for our train. The jeep ride itself was so fun. The weather was unfortunately not on our side but we still had a fabulous time! Murray was our jeep driver and he was also so wonderful! He took great pictures of us and still made it a great experience, even though the weather wasn’t the best. He was very knowledgeable and great to chat with. I would highly recommend! The communication was excellent, everyone was so kind and friendly and we had so much fun!

Don't hesitate, this is a professionally run tour - We had a GREAT time, the tour driver Ferry and our jeep driver Tipit were both professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. They were eager to talk , answer our questions and showed us a good time. Ferry even dropped us to a location other than pickup and waited for us while we took a detour shopping. Don't hesitate booking with this company!

Fun alternative experience! - Very good experience! I’ve got to see first-hand and learn all about Merapi volcano and its eruptions and how it affected and still affects locals. Running on the river puddles on the 4WD Jeep was a fun experience.
