Worth visiting, but be careful! - Fani responded to my Whatsapp message very quickly and gave me a fair fee to pick up my two friends and I from Malang airport. When we arrived, he was already there waiting for us with snacks and water in the car. The drive was about two hours and along the way, Fani spoke to us in English, telling us facts about Indonesia and their culture along the way. When we arrived, he allowed us to change in the car, and waited patiently on us to go down to the falls. On our way down, there was a small store selling Salak Pondoh (snake fruit), which neither of us had eaten before, and he bought it for us and showed us how to peel it, so we could taste! The falls were beautiful and Fani was a fantastic guide, knowing the route by heart, and taking fantastic photos! One of my friends did fall pretty hard at the end, so I would watch where you step!!! It is very slippery and there are a lot of rocks. your shoes and socks will get wet. When she fell, our guide helped to get band-aids, and we slowed our ascent back to the van. At the end, he dropped us back to our accommodation in Malang.

My highlight in Indonesia - Summary: Communication great Good care by Guide Fani Relaxed hike with great impressions Tips where to take photos Very much fun and I would also book again when I come to the Malang area. Long version: Had recorded the communication via WhatsApp to my guide and booked a tour for the next day. Fani answered my questions patiently and also sent me a payment link as I didn't have enough cash left. I was in Indonesia in the off-season, I can't judge whether it's so spontaneous and easy in the high season. At just before 5 am I was picked up by car at the hotel in Malang, could sleep in the car for a bit until we arrived at the parking lot after about 1 hour 45 minutes (2 hours had been scheduled) with little traffic. Fani gave me a waterproof bag for my camera equipment and one for the mobile phone, in which you could continue to use the phone. It kept my equipment safe. There was also water and other chilled drinks, as well as mosquito repellent. From the parking lot we went to the viewing platform for the first unforgettable view, here was also the only time I noticed mosquitoes. Afterwards we went into the valley, Fani went ahead and warned of slippery spots and sharp edges. After several steps, I was led to various waterfalls and caves. I was able to take pictures at my pace and look around and also in the 'pool' just a quarter of an hour to 20 minutes, it was never pushed to continue. There was always information worth knowing and my questions were answered patiently. I am glad to have booked a private tour here and not to have adapted to a group. At the end of my phone battery we had reached the steps to the exit after just under 5 hours in the valley. At the end of the steps there were still some delicious snacks (tempeh, tofu and coconut as well as cassava chips). The journey back to Malang was a lot longer than the morning outbound journey due to traffic. The tour was my best experience on Java and also thanks to Fani with whom I could laugh a lot and had fun.

Unforgettable Tumpak Sewu Trek with Fani – A Must-Do Adventure! - I had an amazing trek with Fani to Tumpak Sewu, and it was definitely one of the highlights of my trip. Fani picked me up from Surabaya right on time, and the ride was really comfortable. He was great at communicating, answering all my questions before the trip. Fani is a knowledgeable guide and stayed with me the whole time. Plus, he's a fantastic photographer and knows all the best spots for photos. The trek itself is quite challenging and requires a decent level of fitness to climb down and back up. But the waterfall and caves are absolutely stunning and worth every step. I highly recommend doing this trek – it’s an unforgettable experience!

Unforgettable experience - We had an amazing time with Fani who is very experienced and adventurous. He took us to paths other guides would skip which was very nice. We also learned a lot and he made sure we were okay all the time. Would definitely recommend! (Be prepared to get wet)

Hidden Gems and Expert Guidance - We had an absolutely amazing time on the waterfall tour! Fani was incredibly knowledgeable, and everything he shared made the experience even more interesting. We chose the small climbing portion of the tour, which was truly unforgettable - it's a path not all tourists take, and it felt like a hidden gem. Thank you so much for this fantastic experience! We highly recommend Fani as a guide to anyone looking for something unique and adventurous.

Totally recommended private tour to Tumpak Sewu - Amazing - there are no other words for the Tumpak Sewu tour guided by fani! He took us to places, you would never go to, if you visit the waterfall by yourself. It was absolutely worth it and he is courteous. Thank you for this unforgettable morning (with the funny ways 😉).

Super recommended experience - Wonderful experience, wonderful view. Fani was a perfect guide, told us about the place and helped in the climb! The climb is sometimes steep but absolutely feasible even if you are not in great shape.

Adventure in nature - If you want to experience the nature of the waterfalls apart from the typical tourist points, this tour is the right place for you. You climb along waterfalls and explore some smaller caves. Fani adapts the tour according to the skill and courage of the participants. We learned a lot about the flora and fauna as well as the volcanic Things to do in the area that day. After the hike Fani introduced us to the regional delicacies and gave us more tips for good restaurants and regional dishes in Malang. We can recommend the tour to anyone who wants to experience a real adventure in the falls.

Dont miss it, this is the best trip for tumpak sewu! Unforgattable! - Fani is a great guide, he is propably the best, who I've ever met. He took me to secret places, shoved me a lot of fun things. With him Tumpak Sewu was like an adventure park, and that was what i needed. Plus, he shared a lot of things about indonesian history (which i am interested in), gave me food tips.. so, i fully recommend this adventure, it is not a usual trip, and that is what you are coming for in Jawa. Dont miss it, he is the best ❤️
