Our tour guide, Adik, is very friendly and accommodating. The tour overall is great, however, the main attraction, Mt. Merapi, is not visible during our tour because of the clouds. Its super cloudy during our tour which makes me sad. Nonetheless, the tour is great you just have to be prepared in case the weather is not good because its very unpredictable.

Had an excellent morning on the jeep safari. Brian was in contact the day before to arrange our pickup and was really helpful in suggesting a slightly earlier start. He met us in time and gave us a comfortable and informative trip to the mountain. Erif was our jeep driver who made sure we got some great photos and guided us around the museum and other points of interest. Definitely worth the cost, we had a great time.
