Host was super responsive leading up to the trip. Alternative itinerary was also proposed and adjusted due to Ijen closure because of volcanic activity. Basic communication with driver was ok. Guides at each spot were also pretty ok. Overall whole journey was smooth and enjoyable. Recommended!

Anggi was a great guide for us, always prepping the car with water and ensuring the car is clean. He also does not engage in conversation unecessarily which is what we appreciate. Please be note that car rides per day go as long as 6hours from point to point. Hike down waterfall is not for the faint hearted as it can be slippery without hiking shoes. Slippers or wet shoes won't do the trick as hike down is not well paved. If you're physically unfit, suggest to skip the waterfall altogether or do yourself a favour and prep hiking shoes that you can get wet in. We would have enjoyed the waterfall more if we were not trying to keep ourselves from falling over. We were lucky with the weather in Mount bromo. Be prepared for almost 6 degree weather while waiting for sunrise. All in all great trip and will be even better if we are more prepared with the right footwear and clothes :)

From the pick-up at surabaya airport to waterfall tours, to exploring Mt Bromo to the home-stays, everything was planned out really well. The guides and the drivers were really friendly and attentive, and we were well taken care of during this trip! The guides are also knowledgeable about the hidden gems in these areas and we were able to experience each place without the tourists’ crowds. It was truly an enjoyable experience! During the period we went, Mt Ijen was closed due to Level 2 warning and the tour agency was very accommodating in suggesting alternate places to visit and seeked our opinions as well! We will definitely go for Seeksophie’s travels for our future trips!
