No regrets choosing Bromo Vacation. We had Ubay, our guide, bring us to the best photo spot (place that we would not have known if we were alone). The crowd was intense, but as the name of this tour suggested, we got there early to get a good sunrise spot and beat the crowd. Ubay even brought along comfy mat and blankets for us. Furthermore, Ubay brought cup noodles and hot drinks for us so we could enjoy warm supper / breakfast under the stars. He helped take endless photos for us through the trip and also shared with us his wealth of knowledge for the area and its culture. Our 2 drivers, though with us for short duration, were also courteous and helpful throughout. It was a short but wonderful trip, so thank you all once again!

We had such an incredible time! The trek was a little challenging for us, but totally doable. We just aren’t used to the humidity of Bali (we are from a cold climate). Our guide made sure to stay at our pace, pausing and pointing out a good place to rest when we needed a break, and we still make it to the top with plenty of time to spare before the sunrise. The views were amazing, and our guide took amazing photos and videos of us while answering any questions we had. Bali Yok even went above and beyond, reaching out to us early to let us know another large group would be climbing the same time as us, offering alternative dates if we preferred a more private experience. Overall, we are so glad we decided to book this experience instead of the traditional Mt Batur trek. The breathtaking views and the less crowded caldera summit gave us the opportunity to take in the beauty without being surrounded by hundreds of others. We can’t wait to come back and book again with friends!

We had the best time in Java with our private Guide Eng! Throughout the whole Journey he made sure that we were comfortable and enjoying the experience to the fullest. He was willing to help us with anything we needed. We felt secured the whole trip, with the kindness of people receiving us and our guide. The itinerary is really well planed : you wake up early in the morning to always get the best views and the full experience with less tourists. We didn’t even need to ask : Eng was always ready to stop on the road so we could enjoy scenic views and take some pictures. We highly recommend boyo Travel and will always be grateful for this amazing trip.

We had such an incredible experience hiking up the mountain and the views at the top did not disappoint! We had a love driver, Jezu, and guide, Putu, who were not only incredibly helpful and patient but made it all about the experience vs quickly getting to the top. My husband and I were the only people on this trip and with only a handful of others at the top this felt like a private luxury tour 🤩 We enjoy a good run and decided to run sown the mountain at the end which resulted in a 20min down trek. This was a lot of fun! Would recommend for the trail runners out there. The only negative was as were were going up a gentleman joined the group, and he obviously knew the guide, and he kept pressuring is to buy water and bracelets. He was extremely pushy and as we were very much alone on this 1.5h trek with this man we did not want to cause any issues so we bought a water and bracelets wherever he left (this was already when we reached the top). This soured some of the excitement as it was such a nice trip but with almost no money on us and this guy being pushy, it did not feel very good. Overall would recommend the hike! As a note I did not see other hikers with more people than their guide with them so this seemed very coordinated and this guy tried to sell his stuff at the top to the other hikers. Maybe try another service for this hike if they are linked to these people cornering you on the mountain to buy from them.

Hike was pretty smooth. 11pm to 11am for an occasional hiker. Can be quite tough if no experience. Headlightbmake sure can last at least 6 hours. The driver Made Sugi was very nice. Picked up at the airport and drop-off at the habour as requested. He waited for me overnight sleeping in the car. The guide was there for the job but there was a lack of communication as he is not fluent in English. But overall,everything went well and Mt Agung was brilliant.
