This trip was a surprise birthday present for my partner and it did not disappoint! From the beginning Cheap Bromo created an itinerary that suited our needs and we're really flexible when our flight got cancelled and moved to another day. We got picked up from Surabaya Airport and was greeted by our guide Ikhsan and our driver. It was a bit of a drive to the waterfalls but Ikhsan made us feel so comfortable and welcomed on our drive. The experience of Mount Bromo and Ijen was incredible, the tour was well organised and the accommodation was better than expected. Even after we got dropped off at the port to go to Bali, they organised us a taxi and everything ran smoothly.
I would like to say a special mention though to our guide Ikhsan, we had such a laugh with him and by the end we were really sad that our time with him had come to end. We became really good friends, he had a great sense of humour and we had some great conversations. He even took us for some street food the night before Ijen and it was super yummy! Any questions weren't too silly and he would explain in depth about the culture, food, history, traditions etc all the time. Would defo recommend him!!
