The local guide Arif was very helpful and humble. He was very patient and guided us well; a 5 star for him. However the planning by the tour operator was lousy, the itinerary was totally different from planned...though the itinerary mentioned several attractions with start 7:30AM to 5:30PM, it started 7:30AM and ended 10:30AM telling us, its done after tumpak sevu and goa tetes. I had to spend extra again for the remaining other attractions.

Pick up time was arranged the day before. The driver Sholeh did not speak English but with Google traduction we could communicate still 🙂 when I arrived an english speaking guide joined me to show the waterfall Tumpak Sewu and the Goa Tetes Cave. I had a wonderful time despite the crowd and he kindly took some very nice pictures of as well 📷
Thank you for your kind review! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Tumpak Sewu Waterfall and Goa Tetes Cave. We're also glad that Mr. Sholeh and our guide were able to assist you throughout the trip, and that communication went well despite the language difference. It's great to know that you had a wonderful experience and came home with some nice photos to remember the day. Thank you for your understanding regarding the crowds and for choosing to travel with us. We hope to welcome you again on your next trip to Indonesia!
It really was an ultimate adventure! while climbing down you can only see walls of green until you turn the last corner and WOW the horsehoe waterfall is so impressive! Our guide was considerate and encouraging and let us play in the waterfall. The caves were as amazing as the waterfall. It was a real bonus when our guide presented us with a video of our entire trek. (We looked like we were having fun- and we were!) The only drawback was our communication prior to the trip was a bit frustrating regarding our pick up time and an added cost for our location announced at the last minute. Bonus for us, our driver was very skillful in navigating road construction and traffic and we were all able to doze a bit on the way home.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re very happy to hear that the adventure left such a strong impression on you! The moment of seeing the horseshoe waterfall for the first time really is unforgettable It’s great to know that you enjoyed the waterfalls, caves, and the fun moments during the trek. We’re also glad you liked the video recap from the guide such a nice way to remember the adventure At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the frustration regarding the communication before the trip, especially about the pickup time and additional cost information. Your feedback is truly valuable for us, and we will use it to improve our coordination and communication in the future We’re happy to hear that despite that, your driver helped make the journey comfortable and smooth throughout the trip. Thank you again for choosing Smartway Tours, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure someday!
Our guide was Sandi who was accompanied by our driver Mr Sholeh who were a fantastic team for our trip to the waterfalls of Tumpak Sewu. The waterfalls were wonderful and you could get some amazing shots - and Sandi was a great photographer as well as knowledgeable guide. The main waterfall does have a lot of tourists - some of whom seem intent on taking a million photos in the same spot - which is where Sandi came in handy to then navigate us safely to the others lesser known and therefore quieter waterfalls - and then onto the caves. Which were stunning in their natural design. Once we had seen all the falls and caves - we stopped for lunch before heading back to Malang. This is where Mr Sholeh came to the fore in providing safe passage in his air conditioned car and got us back to our hotel safely. All told a great way to spend a day out in Malang.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re really happy to hear you had such a fun and memorable trip to Tumpak Sewu. Sandi and Mr. Sholeh will be glad to hear your kind words especially about the guiding and photography skills We’re also happy Sandi could help you explore the quieter spots and make the experience more enjoyable. Hope all the waterfalls and caves become unforgettable memories for you! Looking forward to seeing you again on your next trip
Happy with the services received from Smarway. Prompt and timely communications. No hesitation of recommending Smartway to anyone who wants to experience the beauty and power of Tumpak Sewu! Hamdan was our guide and he was in the thick and wet water with us every step of the way: helping us to navigate the steep terrains and led us to other falls/caves after Tumpak Sewu. Glad to have him guiding us through complex. He speaks great English, no issue of communication. I was deadbeat by the time we got back to the car and I was sure he was too...thank you for the help! Thanks Smartway for the wonderful experience!
Thank you so much for your kind review We’re really happy to hear that you were satisfied with our service and communication.

To be really honest and genuine, coming from Singaporeans, it was such an amazing experience for me and my friends. Moreover, everything went very smoothly with the help of our patient and kind driver Sholeh as well as our activity guide, Sulis, who did not only ensured our safety at all times but also ensured that we had a blast throughout the various places and activities. We did not expect the photos and videos taken by Sulis to be very good as well. Kudos to Sholeh and Sulis. Well done Smartway, we are really contented and glad that we chose your company to be a part of our journey. We will 100% come again in the near future.

Thank you once again for trusting Smartway to be part of your journey. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure
The waterfall and caves on site were super interesting and it was a lot of fun to look at them and take pictures under the waterfall , but unfortunately neither the driver nor the guide on site had spoken English, which made communication very difficult to hardly possible. Both were super nice and the guide knew great about the waterfall and caves , but due to the lack of English it was also not possible to get more background information about the sights.
Vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihr wertvolles Feedback 🙏 Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Ihnen der Wasserfall und die Höhlen gefallen haben und Sie die Zeit dort genießen konnten. Gleichzeitig möchten wir uns aufrichtig für die Kommunikationsschwierigkeiten während der Tour entschuldigen. Ihr Feedback ist uns sehr wichtig, und wir werden daran arbeiten, die Englischkenntnisse unseres Teams zu verbessern, damit wir unseren Gästen künftig ein noch angenehmeres und informativeres Erlebnis bieten können. Nochmals vielen Dank, dass Sie Ihre Erfahrung mit uns geteilt haben. Wir hoffen, Sie eines Tages wieder begrüßen zu dürfen mit einem noch besseren Service.
A wonderful day, amazing scenery, lovely driver to get us there and back, and a very informed and courteous guide to assist us over the steep and often slippery terrain. :)
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the amazing scenery and felt well taken care of by our driver and guide. We hope this experience left you with great memories, and we look forward to welcoming you on another adventure in the future!
It was an amazing experience! Everything was well organised: the driver, the local guide, photos. The guide made a great video of the tour. The waterfall was breathtaking. I highly recommend. Angelina
