I recommend 100%! Fani is an incredible guide, he makes you enjoy nature, takes photos, explains a lot of things to you, and takes you away from the tourist crowd which really allows you to be in connection with nature. We even got to see monkeys!! I didn't expect to enjoy the moment so much, I loved it! Little tips: you will be really soaked, bring a change of clothes, good sneakers (and shoes to change afterwards), and 5,000 rupees in cash to use the toilets to change.

This is the best trip we have ever been to. Everything is planed, David and his drivers are flexible, extremely kind and friendly. They showed us Bromo, Ijen and also Tumpak Sewu Waterfall. Every trip was different and it’s really hard to choose which one is the best. David told us a lot about Indonesian culture, religion, food and everything. Everything was on schedule, the drivers always asked us if we want to eat or things like that. Really, really amazing trip ❤️

We were picked up at 11:50 PM by our tour guide Rizky. We arrived at the viewpoint around half past four. We were the first there so that was very nice. Rizky took beautiful pictures of the stars. Then you can admire the sunrise. Then walked to the crater. Unfortunately the waterfall was closed because the access road was broken. We received decent compensation for this. Overall we had a very nice day! Thanks Rizky for the tour, information and photos.

We really enjoyed the sunrise tour on Mount Bromo. The entire tour is done by jeep. And we were also allowed to go to the crater of Bromo. Our guide was great and was always available to answer questions. Small snacks and water were also included. We would definitely recommend the tour.

It was a very short night but definitely worth it! Really enjoyed the tour!
