I would like to thank our guide, Subi, for the wonderful tour and for adjusting the schedule to suit our preferences.

Mauricio Bruce - France

The description of our day trip wasn’t very clear; it originally mentioned both Tirta Empul and the Monkey Forest, but we were later told that only Tirta Empul was included. After asking for clarification, they acknowledged the mistake and did everything possible to ensure the trip went smoothly. ...

Our guided tour was flawless from beginning to end. The itinerary was followed exactly, the visits were stunning, and the temple experience, especially the purification ritual, was amazing a true dive into Balinese culture. Everything was top tier. Sandy, our guide, was outstanding! A big thank you to him.

We had an amazing time with Wayan, our guide. He gave us a deep understanding of Balinese culture. Following Wayan’s suggestion, we attended a purification ceremony in the morning to avoid the crowds. We also made a stop at a coffee plantation along the way, which was something we requested. Wayan was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this activity.

Surya is truly the best! The trip included so many exciting things to see and do, and Surya made it even better. He was an amazing guide, always smiling, with deep knowledge of Bali and Ubud. He really made the trip enjoyable and entertaining. He’s also great at taking photos and videos, so I highly recommend having Surya as your guide! Thanks again, Surya, for such an awesome day.

The guide's English was limited, and they mostly stayed behind during the tour.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable, but there wasn't enough time to visit all the locations (we had to skip the waterfalls).

The trip was excellent and full of valuable information. My driver, Darhma, took some great photos of me ones I can even use on my social media. He explained everything thoroughly and was always checking to see if there was anything else he could do. It couldn’t have been a better experience.
