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.

I went on this private sunrise tour with Rizky as my guide. It was awesome having him with me, passionate about getting beautiful pictures of the stars and sunrise. He gave me time and freedom to enjoy each view and moment as long as I wanted to! No rush at anytime and good entertainment on the roads. Thank you for an unforgettable day!

The best part of my trip to Bali in April 2025 was jungle trekking and canoeing, plus Banyu Wana Amertha waterfalls. Perfect organisation, caring guides, breathtaking views, all in spirit of adventure. Komang Dodik was my guide. I would certainly recommend for those who seek something exciting to do in Bali off beaten path.

We had a very nice experience! In a small group and without anybody else on the path, contrasting a lot with the hundreds of lights we could see going up on Batur from this quiet spot. Obviously the clouds decide what sort of sunrise you'll get but if you're lucky like us the view really is amazing. Highly recommend!

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.
