one of the best tours we’ve ever had! our guide, friesko, was super friendly and knowledgeable. he made our experience a pleasant one. easy to talk and make jokes with. would definitely find him again if we ever visit bromo again! the sunrise view point was beautiful and cold, and the hike up to the crater was fun.

Thank you so much Mr Bagus for driving us around and planning our itinerary! Mr Bagus is great with English and is chatty and funny. He also has vast knowledge to provide great insights into the culture and provides great recommendations and places to visit in Indonesia. We were sadden by the news that forest fire closed Mt Ijen. The tour agency checked with us before changing our itinerary to the Sewu waterfalls. We enjoyed ourselves and had a great time on this trip! Hope to come back again soon to visit Ijen! Definitely booking with them again! You know you are in good hands when you meet Mr Bagus. Appreciate the tour agency for the well-planned itinerary. Just a heads up the wet shoe rental at sewu is 30k and restrooms are available for 5k. Upgrade to single room will be at 375k.

There's a website with more info of the actual itinerary and what to prepare after booking which was useful. Car is clean and guide is friendly. Booked 4D3N so not too rush. We were able to see the sunrise at Bromo & Ijen. Ijen was not too easy to climb, certain areas are steep. Also if you want to see both blue flames and sunrise you got hike fast. We didn't had time for blue flames but managed to get a good timelapse of sunrise. Local guide at Tumpak Sewu Waterfall directs you to all the photo spots and good at taking photos. He even managed to stitch up a short video with and background music for us in such a short time.

it was excellent massage in my whole trip. the klook booking was smooth and convenient to redeem voucher. Clean and cozy environment and served with skilled staff with excellent service. After massage it was served with ginger milk which made a perfect finish for the entire experience.

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!

Our trip to Mount Bromo and Tumpak Sewu was incredible. We were blessed with a clear, full view of Bromo at sunrise. Just a heads-up: the hikes are much steeper than expected! The trek down to Tumpak Sewu involves very narrow, high stairs, but the waterfall is worth every bit of effort. Our guide and driver, Sunny, was amazing—patient, friendly, and kept us comfortable the entire time. Regarding accommodation, we were moved from Artha Cottage to Harmoni Guest House. It was a nice substitution, especially with the stunning view of the Semeru volcano. Highly recommended for anyone up for a bit of a climb!

We booked a package with JVTO via Klook for our 3D2N adventure trip. Shoutout to Fredy and Fauzi for always accommodating to us; from entertaining our nonsense/requests and also for always making us break into laughter with their fresh set of jokes. We are really grateful and thankful to have them as our guide and driver. They make this trip a really stress- free, enjoyable and a memorable one. We would like to also express our biggest appreciation for always being patient with us especially during the hike. May God bless yall!🤍

if you have one whole extra day in Surabaya, this is the best package. we went with 4 team member (including me) and the tour guide, Andrea pickup and drop us from our hotel. Andrea also very knowledgeable on history and local issue so its not just a visit but we also learn about Mount Bromo. I highly recommend this package... no wonder its a Klook choice

What to know before visiting Surabaya

Quick snapshot of Surabaya and what to expect

Surabaya draws most bookings for tours, massages and water activities, with cultural experiences also represented among popular choices. Demand on Klook rises and falls through the year, peaking around December and dipping in March, so the city’s visitor rhythm shifts between busier and quieter months.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Klook booking data shows the busiest month is December and the quietest month is March. Prices on Klook drift up and down across the year: they are typically lowest around November and climb to a peak in April. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for November or the quieter spring months; if you prefer a lively, peak-season atmosphere, December is the time to go. Note that demand and prices don’t move in perfect lockstep—December is the busiest month while the absolute priciest month in past bookings was April, so you can encounter busy periods without the very highest prices.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers from the Philippines book activities about a week ahead on average, with many last-minute options available a couple of days before travel, so a short, flexible planning window works well. For travel in December — the busiest month — it’s wise to plan earlier within that typical booking window to secure popular tours and massages. Use Klook to lock in favourites a few days to a few weeks ahead depending on how busy the month is.
