I spent the day with Adi exploring the Water Temples and UNESCO-listed Jatiluwih rice terraces. Adi picked me up from my villa in Seminyak early in his clean, air-conditioned car. Starting early was great to avoid traffic and crowds, giving me almost private access to these sites. The itinerary included: Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Jatiluwih rice terraces with an extensive buffet lunch at a nearby warung, Batukaru Temple, Tanah Lot Temple. Adi shared detailed insights about the history, culture, and symbolism at each location. As a solo traveller, I appreciated his willingness to take excellent photos and suggest the best spots and poses. He was engaging without being overbearing, always checking my comfort level. Despite heavy traffic on the way back, Adi remained patient and ensured I returned safely. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable tour with a kind and generous guide.
