Surabaya Multi-day tours

As my first solo trip,I was scared and doubtfull. The schedule somehow similar to the package,with some changes. Day 1: Tumpak Sewu Driver Andika was punctual and nice.Guide Widodo was helpful and good photographer!He stayed when I struggled climbing up. We stayed at Jamilah H’stay,far from town.The room wasn’t soundproof and the shared toilet was small. But the receptionist was very helpful. Day 2: Seruni Viewpoint Driver Frankie was friendly.We took a jeep near Seruni VP and had no guide, but everything went smoothly.Breakfast was prepared before continue to Kawah Ijen. Day 3: Kawah Ijen Our driver was skillful despite the long journey from Bromo.Hadi Homestay was spacious with better facilities.At 12:30 AM, we started the hike.Our guide Iqbal,was very helpful.Toughest hike,but he brought us to see the blue fire and lake without pressuring.We followed our own pace and made it! Going down,I took the “Lamborghini” for 500k—worth every penny! Tips: Stretch and warm up before hiking!

Really enjoyed! Every destination was worth visiting. Definitely an unforgettable experience. The itinerary was quite packed and tiring at times, but the beautiful views and amazing experiences made it all worthwhile. A special shoutout to our driver, Romi, for being so friendly, helpful and accommodating throughout the trip! He made the long drives enjoyable, and we really appreciated his local food recommendations. Highly recommend this tour to anyone planning to explore East Java!

Very good experience overall. The tour guide was very friendly and informative. Always try to bring us to new places. We stayed for a night at Indah Damai cottage in Lumajang, BEST HOSPITALITY EVER!! We love Adit and Firman. The places that we went was so pretty. Will definitely come again and recommend to others

Our three-day, two-night East Java volcano tour truly exceeded our family's expectations! We learned after booking that the Ijen crater was closed. The travel agency not only promptly informed us but also actively helped us adjust our itinerary, even adding the Madakaripura Waterfall, which turned out to be the most surprising and memorable part of our trip. The three-day, two-night private tour was absolutely worth it! We had a dedicated guide and driver with us the entire time. Our guide, Jiaxin, is a native Indonesian but speaks fluent Chinese, so communication was seamless. Along the way, he shared many stories about the volcanoes, culture, and local life, and he also took excellent care of our family of four. During the trip, my husband, who suffers from severe sleep apnea, had a very strong reaction to the high altitude. Jiaxin meticulously looked after him, especially during the climb up Mount Ijen, where he accompanied and supported him almost the entire way. This allowed me to focus on caring for our two children without having to juggle responsibilities between family members. His attentiveness and sense of responsibility truly touched us. (And we even saw the beautiful artificial blue fire at the volcano!) Throughout the journey, Jiaxin also adjusted the pace according to our family's condition, arranging timely breaks, helping us take photos, and recommending local delicacies, making the entire trip very relaxed and comfortable. At Mount Bromo, when we were delayed and missed breakfast, he quietly arranged for the hotel to save meal boxes for us, so we had food waiting as soon as we returned to the hotel – truly thoughtful. I must also commend our driver, Agus Botak. Every day involved long drives of over four hours, often on winding mountain roads in East Java, and sometimes even starting in the early morning. Yet, he was always energetic and drove smoothly, allowing us to rest comfortably in the car. For families traveling with children, a safe and reliable driver is incredibly important. What touched us most was that they didn't treat this job as a routine task; they genuinely cared for every traveler. These three days brought us not only beautiful scenery but also heartwarming human connection. This was the best travel experience I've had in Southeast Asia to date, which is why I'm writing this review so earnestly, hoping it can serve as a reference for others. From the travel agency's arrangements and the guide's professionalism to the driver's attentiveness, they left me with a wonderful impression of Indonesia. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family. I also want to add that the cost of this private tour includes one meal, local guides for Madakaripura Waterfall and Ijen Volcano, all entrance fees, and necessary equipment, so there's no need to worry about additional expenses – it's truly worth it! ❤️

Okay, here's a draft: "I recently visited Bromo and Tumpak Sewu, and the overall experience was fantastic! The sunrise at Bromo was absolutely beautiful, and the scenery was breathtaking. It was very cold in the morning, but totally worth it. The Tumpak Sewu waterfall was also spectacular, making for great photos, and the air was wonderfully refreshing. Our guide was excellent; they constantly reminded us to be safe, patiently helped us take photos, and managed our time perfectly. The entire trip went smoothly, and I had a wonderful time 😊"

We had an absolutely wonderful time on this trip. Our guide, Mr. Li, was fantastic; we really hit it off and had great conversations and laughs throughout, like traveling with a friend. He was very professional and entertaining. I'm extremely satisfied with this itinerary; all the guides and drivers we met were very kind and treated us exceptionally well! The itinerary was well-planned, and although we chose economy hotels, the quality of our accommodations was still very high. The transportation was comfortable throughout the entire trip, with no issues. Both Bromo and Ijen were incredibly stunning and beautiful attractions.

The driver was fantastic, a very experienced and smooth driver. The local guides at the attractions were quite conventional and routine; they would help take pictures, but weren't particularly proactive. As for the hotels, the one near Mount Ijen was quite modern and in good condition. Actually, it is possible to climb the volcano first, come back to shower and have breakfast, and then check out, but since there was no special reminder in the itinerary, we thought we had to check out when we left at midnight. The accommodation for Mount Bromo was in the volcanic village, more like a guesthouse or hostel with relatively basic conditions, but the food was quite good, and you can also return after climbing the volcano to shower and have breakfast before leaving.

Sangat di rekomendasi, with a good driver, nice cheap and reasonable hotel, time consuming and tour very flexible, very good experience and beaty memorable memory

transport options: Our driver Dosi was very friendly and made our transfer to each location very smooth. itinerary: Prepare for irregular sleeping hours as we needed to wake up at 12am to drive to the location for sunrise. But it was worth it. tour guide: Each attraction had its guide. Shout out to our waterfall guide, Edi. He went above and beyond by constantly helping us take instagrammable photos and videos even though we didn't ask. At the end of the attraction, he even helped us to compile it into a ready to post video and sent us all 100+ photos and videos. attractions: Not for the faint of heart. There were steep hikes involved and was more adventurous than we had expected. Definitely watch some YouTube vlogs to get a sense of the fitness level required. accomodation options: Fluctuating quality. One of them was amazing as it was a business hotel. The other 2 had a good outside view of nature but also had bugs (which probably can't be helped since it's near nature)
