We had a wonderful experience with Seek Sophie but especially with Melati. She is one of the most wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She is warm, helpful and so open. She took us to the best viewpoint for Mount Bromo. But above all she made us feel at home with her love and warmth. I had such lovely conversations with her. I was so sad when we had to say goodbye. The tour is simply a must. I have rarely seen anything more beautiful. Everything was absolutely perfectly organized! We can recommend it all 100%.

Booked: Bromo Sunrise & Stargazing | Beat the Crowds

We did a 2-day tour to Mount Bromo, Tumpak Sewu, and Madakaripura Waterfalls with Seek Sophie & Boyo Tour and Travel. The trip was truly fantastic! The tour was very well organized and customized according to our wishes. Even beforehand, we received excellent support from Olivia (customer service) during the planning and whenever we had questions – she was always available to help us. The drivers, guides, and accommodation over the two days were also great. We felt very well taken care of and would highly recommend this organization to everyone!

Trip was extremely well organised. We were collected from the airport with the driver waiting with a sign to collect us, from there everything was arranged for us.

Very pleased with this experience from start to end! Mt Bromo sunrise was absolutely stunning, easily the best sunrise I’ve ever seen in my life. Our guide Oni was fantastic, he took care of us well and was very accommodating to our requests :) He found such a good spot to wait for the sunrise and helped us to take many good photos throughout the trip! Special thanks to our driver Faisal for driving us safely and comfortably, we slept through most of the car rides! Heads up to other travelers that Mt Ijen is closed every first Friday of the month, and because of that we had to reverse the order of our trip, but it all worked out well in the end - perhaps even better since we did the harder hike first and could relax after :)

I honestly cannot imagine a better guide than Akbar. The Bromo and Ijen tour can be intense, but with him everything went smoothly. From the magical Bromo sunrise to the turquoise crater lake of Ijen, every stop was breathtaking and thanks to Akbar we always had the best spots, often ahead of the crowds. He made the whole trip enjoyable, was always attentive, and even captured incredible photos we’ll treasure forever. If you book this tour, ask for Akbar. He turns a beautiful trip into an unforgettable experience.

I traveled solo, and while I was a little nervous at first, the guides instantly put me at ease. Their kindness and attentiveness made me feel safe every step of the way, which turned what could have been a daunting trip into such a comforting and joyful experience. Hiking through waterfalls and volcanoes felt magical — challenging at times, but deeply rewarding. A huge thank you to Boyo Tour & Travel, my driver Alpan, and guides: Pak Min, Pak Selamat, and Imash.. I’m so grateful for the way they looked out for me. Tips: - Start early to soak in the peace and avoid the crowds. - Having snacks handy made the long hikes so much easier and gave me the energy to keep going. - Travel between sites can take 3–4 hours, so car naps are a great way to rest and recharge along the way. - If you have extra time, do a little research and plan ahead — you might uncover other hidden gems like Goa Tetes or Kapas Biru Waterfall.
