Our guide Ketut Mawa was fantastic. He was on time, he was polite and he was very informative. He gave us the option to change our itinerary slightly to see things that were not on our doorstep. He took the time to explain all about the Rice terrace, the Monkey forest and waterfalls. He also provided us with information on the temples, shrines and how things work living here in Bali. It was one of the best tours we have had since arriving and we cannot recommend him enough. He even gave us tips on the best time to visit Ubud and how to dress appropriately to be involved and respectful during their célébrations. Thank you for an unforgetable day.

The tour/climb to mount Batur was an amazing experience. Our driver Andi, who picked us up and brought us back was the best. He is an awesome guy that we had a lot of fun talks with. Thanks Andi! Our guide during the climb was Cam. He was also a very fun guy but also very considerate and checked constantly to see if we were doing okay. Thanks Cam! The view at the top was beautiful! It is very cold so bring long pants and a jacket.

This tour was so much fun! Our tour guide Redi was so nice and very educated. He explained so much of the culture to us and made sure that we had the best experience. He did everything with a smile and was a great photographer for us. I would highly recommend this excursion if visiting the Bali area and would 100% recommend Redi. The views were beautiful and the temple was such a neat experience.

our guides mawe, mada, and jro were the best. they were hilarious and they take amazing photos. really made this trip memorable and worth it. would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys the mountains, sunrises/sunsets and taking in the beauty of nature.

I can highli recomend Soma! He‘s so friendly and the perfect guide for this beautiful tour :-) Greetings from Switzerland, Lukas
