Truly enjoyed the tour! Strongly recommend if you’re looking for a hassle free trip. It was well planned and organised so we don’t have to worry a thing. The itinerary was also shifted promptly due to closure of Ijen on the day we were supposed to go. Accommodations were good enough for the budget we are paying for. Glad that our driver also brought us to more local food places that were authentic as opposed to touristy restaurants :) The rainbow village was a hidden gem and wholesome end to the trip. Our driver, Nawee, was very patient and helpful with all our needs :) Though we had to converse in Malay/Bahasa Indonesia, it was wonderful to hear his stories about the places and way of life in Surabaya. We were on the road most of the time, so props to Nawee for driving us around expertly and safely too. The local guides at Ijen and Sewu were super friendly and knew all the good photo spots👍

Great experience to see Ijen, Bromo and Tumpak Sewa waterfall with all accommodation, tours and transfers included. Our driver Wahyu was brilliant - always very friendly and very safe, even when driving in the middle of the night. The accommodation at Ijen was the best, the other 2 places were quite basic but did the job, especially when you will have very early starts (leaving 7am for the waterfall, 2am for Bromo, and even 11pm for Ijen though we postponed to midnight). In my opinion Mount Bromo was the best. Absolutely incredible views. The views of Ijen were incredible but I definitely wouldn't recommend hiking down to the blue fire. Absolutely packed full of tourists and quite dangerous at the bottom as crowds of tourists are shoving each other to get close to the blue fire. We left the hotel at midnight in order to see the blue fire at night. I would much rather have left later, arrived in time for sunrise and then hiked down to the crater when it's light already. That way you can still enjoy the views but will enjoy the hike more since the crowds will have already left.

Booked: Private 1 Day Bromo Trip | From Surabaya or Malang + English Speaking Driver

The trip was amazing. I would have given 5 stars but the itinerary was not in the order we were told. It didn’t make a difference but it would have been nice to know. Also it said we would have English speaking guides and driver but they understood very little. It worked out fine and wasn’t a big deal but we just didn’t know what was going on sometimes.
