Bromo 2d1n tour was beyond our expectation. Our guide Baroni (Oni) was very kind, polite and prompt. He’s genuine and seemed to be enjoying his job. Weather in Bromo was beyond our control but Oni was very quick to find alternative for us to still enjoy the view. I must say the gloomy and misty weather gave some sort of magical feeling to the whole experience regardless. For Ijen, he engaged another local person to assist us with hiking and again Dika was very professional and kind. Ijen hike was quite challenging but the sight of blue flame and volcanic lake made it all worth it. I would highly recommend this tour and thanks to Seek Sophie for providing this option.

Our 3 day and 2 night tour was a smooth experience from beginning to end. The three sights we visited (Tumpak Sewu, Bromo and Ikeno) were each spectacular in their own way. We were also lucky to have really nice guides for all three tours, with the Tumpak Sewu guide standing out in particular. We felt well looked after, which is great! The reason we deduct a star is because the first hotel we stayed at was not good. The room was warm and damp, and the breakfast we were served was not sufficiently nutritious given that we had just climbed to the crater of mount Bromo. This meant we were super hungry on our way to Ijen. Luckily the hotel in Ijen was really good, both in terms of room and breakfast. Our driver for the whole tour was very friendly, even though his English was poor. At times his driving felt a bit dangerous, but other than that he did a great job.

We loved this adventure. Our drive Achmad (I think) was amazing throughout the trip, although he didn’t speak a lot of English he was attentive to all our needs and very helpful! He also always had a smile even though he must have been tired after all the driving. We first visited the waterfall but unfortunately for us it was pouring with rain and we could only see it for a couple of minutes, I’m sure on a nice day it would have been beautiful. The trip at Bromo was amazing, beautiful sunrise, looking into a live volcano was amazing and so noisy. My favourite part of the trip was Mount Ijen, our guide whose name sounded like Shirley was incredible. The walk up and into the crater was hard work but very doable (my son made it look easy). The blue flame was amazing! The sunrise and the blue lake in the crater was also very impressive. Our guide also made a little video for us of our trip, it nearly made me cry it was so cute.

Budi was very helpful and informative! even though our trip to ijen was cancelled as the road was blocked by a fallen tree, he made the best of it and went out of his way to drive us to a waterfall that wasn’t on the itinerary. he also drove us around surabaya and back to the airport. when we went it was very foggy and visibility was low as it was during the raining months so do plan to go at an appropriate time

We absolutely loved our tour with Ubay. He was very attentive throughout the entire trip, had great energy, and took the time to explain every question we had. He picked us up at the airport and made the entire trip worth it. He also knows many tips and tricks for both Bromo and Ijen. We would 100% recommend this tour.
