So fun - Such a fun adventurous tour, our driver/ guide Setiawan was lovely and showed us all the best spots for photos. Make sure to bring grippy wet shoes as you’ll be scrambling up waterfalls! And leave your bag in the car, it’ll only get soaked!

Amazing - This trip was absolutely amazing, definitely one of our highlights from travelling Indonesia for over 3 weeks. Our guide Fani was fantastic and really went above and beyond to make our experience what it was. We were picked up in Malang and felt comfortable straight away, the waterfall itself was beautiful and Fani gave us lots of interesting information about the area. He also took us exploring the caves which was so fun and we stopped by and got some local foods and a coconut on our way back which was a great way to finish the trip. He also made a lovely video for us, took amazing pictures and even gave us a list of local restaurants to try out near our hotel! We booked last minute and are so glad we did, would recommend this trip to anyone!

Wow - We had wonderful trip with our driver Ikmal. The local guide from Tumpak Sewu knew all the good photo spots and interesting places in the valley (which is far bigger than just the starting round place that everybody nows). The place is stunning from every angle you look. The climb up was tough, but we were rewarded with a coconut (kijkuit malloot). Afterwards Ikmal drove us safely to Surabaya, telling a lot of interesting details of the places we passed along the way.

Awesome adventure - must do!! - This trip is an absolute must for anyone who loves getting amongst nature and visiting waterfalls - this describes us and we seek out waterfalls in all our travels and this experience is at the top of our list! Feni is a fabulous guide -with excellent English, very knowledgeable about the area, sharing history and information throughout the drive and hike. The hike down to the waterfall is fun (a little adventurous but Feni is great at helping you when needed. We also visited the cave area which is for those with more adventure in mind - the seemingly endless waterfalls and stunning scenery is even better in person than in the photos. Feni is a great driver allowing you to just relax and enjoy the scenery. If you are considering this trip- 100% book it with Feni, I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!

Great day at Tumpak Sewu - The photos don't do justice to how beautiful the waterfall really is. We did not only visit the main waterfall, but also climbed a smaller one and explored some caves, which was actually the highlight of the trip. Most of the tourists were only interested in the main waterfall, so we were almost alone. Fani is such a nice guy, we felt more like we were with a friend rather than with a guide. We felt comfortable the whole time and could take as much time as we wanted. Cannot recommend enough!

Beautiful waterfall - We had a really great day at Tumpak Sewu with Fani. The pictures don't do justice to how beautiful the waterfall really is. On top of that, we did not only look at the main waterfall but also climbed up a smaller one, which turned out to be the highlight of the trip. Most of the other tourists seemed to be only interested in the main waterfall, so we were almost alone. We even explored some caves which was a lot of fun. Fani is an amazing guy. We really felt more like we were there with our friend rather than with a guide. We felt safe & comfortable the whole time and could take as much time taking in the scenery as we wanted.

One of the most stunning things we ever saw! - We were picked up on time at 6:30am at our hotel in Malang. Our very nice driver had provided us with water and was always available to answer questions about Malang and the tour during the trip. It was possible to take a toilet break if necessary. The return trip also went smoothly. Our local guide was awesome! He not only showed us every single step, but also took incredibly good photos and even edited a one-minute video for us at the end of the tour which gave us goosebumps. At the end of the tour, we enjoyed a delicious coconut together. You should have a certain basic fitness level for the tour, but we expected it to be more strenuous. The times given were very precise overall.

Fun and beautiful experience - This tour was even better than I expected! Fani picked me up bright and early from Malang, then we drove to the waterfalls. He organized the tour time so we arrived around 630am, which meant there was a lot less people to compete for space. He sensed my caution, and helped me descend, ascend, and navigate the slippery rocks. He took so many pictures of me too! He pushed me just enough to where I felt proud of what I accomplished, but not too much where I felt uncomfortable. He is a passionate trekker, and knew a lot about the nature and area. I highly recommend taking this tour with Fani. If I am in the area again, I will contact him to trek some more. Thanks Fani!
