We had an absolute great time. Our guide Arif knew the best times to travel and has organised us 4 days that were perfect. We started with a stunning sunrise overlooking Mount Bromo and having an adventurous Jeep Ride with a nice walk on top of the Bromo. We then stopped by the Tumpak Sewu Waterfall early in the morning with not many other people around. We got so many great pictures thanks to the local guide. After that we started driving to Ijen with another early start on the next day. Also the guide was really nice and we got a fantastic video from the whole trip. Thanks again, we had the best start in Indonesia and Java with this tour.

Great day spent with We and Noah climbing to the top of the mountain to watch sunrise. Very knowledgeable and kind and patient. We really had the best day! Our driver Yosi communicated the day before and wason time and we felt safe and he did an amazing job driving and sharing. His local knowledge of the places we drove through. Wonderful experience.

We had an incredible Mt Bromo sunrise tour thanks to our amazing guide, Hirman, and driver, Mr Tops. Hirman gave us just the right amount of local insight, made sure we were fully prepared at every stage, and took us to the best photo spots. His timing and attention to detail really made the experience unforgettable. On top of that, his personality and sense of humour matched ours perfectly; it honestly felt like we were exploring with an old friend rather than a tour guide. Mr Tops was an excellent driver, safe, smooth, and reliable throughout the early morning journey. Highly recommend this team for a seamless and memorable Bromo adventure!

Really loved this “alternative” tour to Mount Batur - it’s a relatively easy trek (we completed it in an hour) and it was only about 9 people on the mountain. On the way, we were able to see Mount Batur and the number of lights going up definitely showed that it’d be a squeeze. The sunrise was beautiful and you can also see Mount Rinjani and Mount Agung from the spot. The guide Wi was so chill and friendly, and is from the area. breakfast is provided up top also! The trip organiser Justin was super responsible and responsive and made everything so easy! We wanted to head over to Padang Bai after, and the driver Yosi took us to a beautiful cafe on the way over and really made the chaotic experience at Padang Bai easy. Really appreciated Yosi!! Just all around great trip and would highly recommend :)

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.
