Agree with others that you can arrange yourself without travel agent and save yourself money. I did Bali to Jogja, Bromo and back to Bali on my own a few years ago. Hubby and I went just before Xmas, started in Bali then flew AA to Jakarta, then train to Bandung stayed a few nights then to train Jogja, few days there then bus to Bromo, stayed overnight then caught bus to ferry then back by ferry to Bali. Very cheap and easy to travel around, trains were very good. Had no issues at all, felt very safe and found the Javanese very helpful and friendly and did not get ripped off once until we stepped off the ferry in Bali and the rip offs started within 5 minutes lol
