• 4Amazing Day with Dekyo

  Our trip was scheduled to depart at 8 a.m., but no one arrived. When we contacted the organizer, we learned that our booking had been missed. They dispatched a driver right away, and we started our day at 9 a.m. Along the way, we made a few additional stops that weren’t on the original itinerary, including the original Bali Swing and a coffee plantation. Both were wonderful extras. However, we were never offered lunch, which I had understood was included in the booking. Overall, the day was very enjoyable. Our driver, Dekyo, was helpful, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, made the experience fun!

• 5Ari made our Bali Trip Memorable 📸❤️

  We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Ari, during our Bali trip! He was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout the day. We visited the Monkey Forest, Tibumana Waterfall, rice terraces, Tirta Empul Temple, and a coffee plantation, and Ari made sure we had a smooth and enjoyable experience at every stop. Ari was also very knowledgeable about the places we visited and shared interesting information about Bali and its culture. He was patient and always made sure we were comfortable. On top of that, he is a great photographer and videographer! He knew the best spots and angles for photos and videos, which gave us so many beautiful memories to take home. 📸🎥 Thank you, Ari, for making our Bali tour so memorable! We truly appreciate your kindness, effort, and professionalism. We highly recommend Ari to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable, and talented tour guide in Bali! 😊🇮🇩

• 5Agung is amazing!

  We had Agung for our driver and amazing tour guide today! This guy is an absolute gem! This experience was amazing and one of a kind thanks to Agung! He was kind, took photos of us at every stop without asking, carried our bags up and down flights of stairs, and even offered us his shoes when we forgot water shoes. Could not recommend him enough! 100/5!!!!

• 5Monkey Rice Water Temple

  The Monkey Forest was amazing - some very close encounters with some amazing animals, and the whole place was very relaxed. The rice fields - which was more an adventure resort operation - was not really my thing, but the walk around the rice fields themselves was pleasant enough and we didn't need to stay there long; the waterfall/cave was a great experience too, though be careful of the 90 steps down as you will have to go up them again to get back to the car; and the temple experience was lovely, the guide incredibly informative, and I didn't have to try an eat, pray love moment and I didn't want to! Diva was very professional and courteous, a very cool customer and was able to adapt to my requests - much kudos to him, and in particular, to his driving skills and abilities!

• 5Knowledgeable friendly guide for Ubud!

  Really great tour with Ari. He picked us up early morning for the Ubud half day tour, allowing us to avoid the crowds. We visited the rice terraces, coffee plantation, temple and waterfall. He was extremely knowledgeable about Balinese life, religion & culture, as he was a local to the area. We learnt a lot and he had a great sense of humour too! Cheers Ari you legend.

Saraswati Temple's lotus ponds sit just off the main road, and the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary shelters long-tailed macaques among moss-covered shrines and giant banyan trees.
