This trip was beautiful! Our driver Brian proposed to do the tour earlier to have better chances to see Mount Merapi! Brian was punctual, very accomodating and made sure we were able to see Mount Merapi. When we started the Jeep tour it was cloudy and only towards the end did it clear, and Brian arranged us some extra time and more stops so that we could see Mount Merapi with perfect lighting. The advice to go earlier for this tour wad good, as Mount Merapi was cloudy again after we left. Overall we recommend this and especially with Brian!

Highly recommend. Driver Brian was so helpful. Fetched us directly from our accomodations. It's a long journey to and fro but Brian kept us entertained with historical knowledge. The Jeep tour was fantastic!! Our tour guide was Mr Iwan. He even helped us with taking fantastic and memorable shots. Expert navigation and jeep driving skills on top of being a tour guide. Truly remarkable. Thank you Mr Iwan for making our trip to learn about Mount Merapi a memorable one!
