2 day tour with adventure guaranteed! - It was a unique experience! We only had two days, so we decided to do the tour with Tumpak Sewu and Bromo. In the morning, our driver Eko picked us up and drove us to Tumpak Sewu. The journey takes several hours. Since the bridge there is currently closed, we were driven on scooters to the entrance of the waterfall, where we set off with a guide. The descent and ascent is definitely only for people who are not restricted in mobility. You have to walk down a steep ravine and back up again! But it's worth it, the view is amazing and there is also a smaller waterfall where you can stop for a swim. After the tour, the journey continued to a hotel near Bromo (Joglo Kecombrang Bromo), which was really very cute. We were able to rest there for a few hours before setting off for the volcano at 2 a.m. We were driven to a parking lot, from where we took a jeep. It took us to the top. Eko walked with us to the viewing point and we waited for the sunrise, which was really breathtaking! After sunrise and a few insider tips from Eko for taking photos, we went back to the jeep and drove down to the sand field, where we took photos with the jeep. Then the two drivers took us to the parking lot of the volcano, from where the two of us set off and climbed the crater rim. The two drivers were waiting for us at the jeep. After we returned, the jeep driver took us back to the car and Eko drove us back to the hotel, where we had breakfast. Then we went back to Surabaya. The tour is really a worry-free package and highly recommended!

Great tour with our Driver Didik - We had a great time exploring the waterfall and Mt Bromo within 2 days. It is a lot of driving, but our driver Didik led us safely through the streets of Java. The waterfall is quite a tour. Your feet *will* get wet - so I highly suggest Sandals that may get wet and are somewhat good to walk with (it is also quite steep and slippery in times). However the struggles pay off, it's a really impressive place down there. There are about 3 nice hotels in Cemorolawang that are *very* expensive, the rest is very basic - remember you won't stay long anyways, so it doesn't really matter too much. The view from the top spot to the mountains is really impressive and although it can get quite crowded up there, there is enough time for everyone to take a picture. Of course it can be cloudy etc. we were lucky though. I suggest to bring warm clothing as it is quite chilly and for some reason everyone arrives quite early so that you have to sit around for about 1h until the sun rises. The tour provider was quite flexible with our drop-off point which was very convenient as we were able to make our further way by train then - just ask them if you have special wishes.

Wonderful Trip - I had the most wonderful time on this trip!! My Driver Mr. Budi was fantastic, helpful and so so kind. He constantly checked to make sure that I was comfortable and answered all of the questions that I had about Indonesia. He made sure that the guides for the Tampa Sewu Waterfall and the Bromo volcano were knowledgable experienced and spoke some English. I am so glad that I went on this trip and truly feel that the experiences were life changing! I would absolutely go again! Thank you!
