Reliable, professional and friendly staff. High recommend their services to everyone.
An unforgettable tour in East Java with friendly and helpful drivers Mr. Agung in Yogyakarta and Mr. Mull on our Mt Bromo and Kawah Ijen leg of the journey. As two female travelers we felt safe and completely at ease with them. Mr. Agung was knowledgeable and took the time and patience to satisfy our curiosity by answering our questions. Mr. Mull put us at ease as we were nervous about climbing Mt Bromo and Ijen. Very happy with the professionalism of Smartine and would definitely use their services again.
Response from the operator: Dear valued traveler, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with Smartine! We're thrilled to hear that Mr. Agung and Mr. Mull provided exceptional service, making you feel safe. We're grateful for your trust in Smartine, and we're looking forward to welcoming you again on another adventure! Best regards, Smartine Team

Once in a lifetime experience!
The tour was very well organised with clear communication with Lita from Smartine and the drivers throughout the entire trip. Both our drivers (Agung in Yogyakarta and Mull for the rest of our trip) were very kind and spoke good English. They were open to share any knowledge/experience they have to gain a better understanding of the culture and way of life in Java. During the hike at Kawah Ijen, we had Lily as our guide who knows a lot about the mining environment and conditions, which made it very insightful. In conclusion, we loved the tour every step of the way!
Response from the operator: Dear our Valued Traveller, Thank you very much for your detailed and thoughtful 5-star review. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed every aspect of your tour, from the clear and seamless communication with Lita and our team to the kindness and professionalism of Agung and Mull. It’s wonderful to know that their knowledge and willingness to share insights helped you better understand the culture and way of life in Java. We’re also delighted that Lily’s guidance at Kawah Ijen provided a deep and informative perspective on the mining environment and conditions, making that part of the tour both fascinating and meaningful. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Indonesia. Warm regards, Smartine Team

Great experience!
Many thanks to our driver Didik! He told us a lot about Java. Very friendly! We had a great tour! Unfortunately Ijen was closed because it was active but we get an alternative programm. The tour operator was very helpfull! Many thanks. You all made our honeymoon perfect!
Response from the operator: Dear Anne, Thank you for choosing Smartine as your travel partner during your visit to East Java. 😊 We are very happy that you enjoyed this tour and very understanding of the natural situation of Ijen which is closed by following an alternative program. We look forward to seeing you again on your next adventure! Best regards, Smartine Team

Best experience and tour guides!
We had an amazing time during our tour! The agency was super helpful, they added sunrise at Borobudur temple and drop off at the end of the tour in Ketapang harbor (ferry to Bali included) on our request. We spent one day with Agung in Yogyakarta while visiting the temples and the rest of the time in Malang and on mount Bromo with Didik. They're both super nice, friendly and qualified. They also speak a really good English so we had great conversations about local history and culture during our trip. Unfortunately Ijen was closed due to volcanic activities but the agency gave us immediately different new options to choose. We decided to visit Baluran National Park and we didn't regret it! We totally recommend this tour and agency!
Response from the operator: Hello, thank you for sharing your travel experience with us. We are glad you enjoyed the trip even though we had to change your plans because Ijen was closed when you visited :) We look forward to your next reservation to go to Ijen. Can't miss it! Best regards, Smartine Team

Great trip!
Amazing experience to get to explore the most beautiful places of Java. Truly something you don't want to miss. Great to have your own driver/tour guide during the entire trip. We had Dodo as our driver, who was super kind and made us feel very safe during the trip. Would highly recommend!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Borobudur & Prambanan in Yogyakarta, train to Malang, hike Bromo & Ijen // 4D3N: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yogyakarta.
How much does Borobudur & Prambanan in Yogyakarta, train to Malang, hike Bromo & Ijen // 4D3N cost?
+
Prices start at $464 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yogyakarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Borobudur & Prambanan in Yogyakarta, train to Malang, hike Bromo & Ijen // 4D3N take?
+
Plan for about 96 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Yogyakarta is not rushed.
Is Borobudur & Prambanan in Yogyakarta, train to Malang, hike Bromo & Ijen // 4D3N worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Yogyakarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Borobudur & Prambanan in Yogyakarta, train to Malang, hike Bromo & Ijen // 4D3N?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Borobudur & Prambanan in Yogyakarta, train to Malang, hike Bromo & Ijen // 4D3N suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Borobudur & Prambanan in Yogyakarta, train to Malang, hike Bromo & Ijen // 4D3N?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Yogyakarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Yogyakarta and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Borobudur & Prambanan in Yogyakarta, train to Malang, hike Bromo & Ijen // 4D3N start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Yogyakarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Yogyakarta?
+
On Outty we rank every Yogyakarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Yogyakarta Private Car Hire with Driver, From Surabaya / Malang : Mt Bromo Sunrise - Ijen Blue Fire 2D1N, Borobudur Full Climb Up And Prambanan ALL INCLUSIVE PRIVATE Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Yogyakarta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Yogyakarta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
