Helpful? Yes

The tour and the locations we visited were well selected, but unfortunately, we had an unpleasant experience with our guide. He barely explained anything, and the journey itself was awful. He drove in second gear the entire time, constantly accelerating and then abruptly releasing the gas every few seconds. It was unbearable; everyone in the car felt so nauseous that one person ended up throwing up.

Helpful? Yes

This wasn’t the type of excursion I was expecting. Half of the trip seemed focused on seeing the sights, while the other half was dedicated to taking Instagram photos.

Helpful? Yes

The waterfall was stunning! The gate is also beautiful, especially when the lighting is just right. I was a little let down by the temple, and honestly, the jungle swing is something you can easily skip. Overall, the morning turned out to be a success, mainly because of the waterfall. I'm glad we started from Sanur at 5:30 a.m. we had most places to ourselves.

Helpful? Yes

The driver and guide were excellent, but unfortunately, the tour didn’t offer good value for the money. Additionally, the lunch buffet at the restaurant was terrible.

Agung was an outstanding guide excellent driving, full of information, well mannered, and with a relaxed personality. Despite the morning rain, the trip was fantastic.

The tour was nothing but waiting in line to take photos. There was no cultural insight, no explanations, no history just nothing. I wasn't allowed to enter the temple, and not even the boat ride at the lake, which is the main image used to promote this tour, was included. Don’t waste your money on this.
