All Surabaya Tours & Excursions in 2026

Trowulan tour review: This tour is fantastic. If you are not specifically interested in history, this is a wonderful chance to be introduced to some architectural highlights of premodern Indonesia. If you are at all interested in history, then this tour is a magnificent way to explore the architectural heritage of Majapahit, the last of the great Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms of Indonesia, and one of the most powerful kingdoms in its history. Our guide, Mr. Suryono, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Indonesian culture, history, and religion, and was a superb escort into the rich world of Majapahit. He was also very considerate of our needs and preferences, such as skipping the lunch and heading back a bit earlier to our hotel, as well as sending us names and terms of figured and concepts that we had encountered during the tour. Highly recommend!!

Tremendous seven hour excursion through Surabaya with Diki our guide and Agas our driver. Both were exceptionally knowledgeable of the city and it's history, making stops at the Monumen Tugu Pahlawan dan Museum Sepuluh Nopember Surabaya and Monumen Kapal Selam Surabaya all the more interesting and educational. The tour wasn't just history, though, as we were also taken to the old Arabian market as well as - and trust me, I'm NOT a shopper - a really quite fine and rather enormous gift store featuring everything from the standard knick knacks, to a mind boggling selection of excellent Batik clothing and fabrics, culminating with heirloom-quality antique furnishings on the un-air conditioned third floor. Not usually a fan but, wow. One of the day's highlights, though, was lunch at the restaurant chosen by Diki, the Ria Galleria. Beautiful interior, excellent service, and scrumptious food, this establishment hit all the right spots at just the right time. 10/10, highly recommend.

We had a fantastic time on the Mount Bromo sunrise tour! We enjoyed coffee, tea, and snacks of fried bananas and tempeh at the coffeeshop at the top of the mountain while waiting for the sunrise and learned about the history of the area. Our guide, Arya, identified a perfect spot to wait for the sunrise and set out a mat to sit comfortably on. The views themselves were absolutely breathtaking, and Arya kindly took photos of us. We stopped back to the coffee house for one more tea and toilet stop before heading back to the jeep. The hike was do-able, with it being mostly flat, and stairs for the steeper portion up the side of Mt. Bromo. Arya took great photos of us at the volcano and also on the jeep with the mountains in the background. We then headed to a restaurant for lunch and enjoyed a delicious meal before heading back to our accommodations in Surabaya. The staff were incredible- Arya was attentive, informative, and kind. He kept us apprised of what would be coming next on the tour, reminded us when it was time to apply sunscreen, and when we would need our jackets and hiking shoes. I’m nervous with some heights so he checked in multiple times to make sure I was comfortable. I am also vegan, and he helped to identify options and communicate my dietary restrictions to restaurant staff members. Our drivers were fantastic as well, navigating the city streets, uneven terrain at the sea of sands, and steep hills to the viewpoint with confidence. Thank you for a wonderful tour! For those considering this tour, book it. It was really worthwhile!
