It was one of the best experience Ive had. My tour guide Esa was the best guide. He takes his job seriously, and he is also very friendly. I felt like I was on a trip with a friend. He also had a lot of knowledge about the places. His english is good so its easy to communicate with him. I would definetely recomend this trip to my friends. All the places was nice and I got some beautiful pictures as well:)

Our guide was Ketut, he was absolutely great, despite typically bad kuta traffic even early in the morning, provided very interesting explanations and took us around also to coffee/choco farm and a beautiful rice field facing lunch location. Recommend!

Dama our guide made it a smooth experience. He is happy to explain more about the locations while still being in the background when you are with your family. Well done and thanks

Our tour guide was amazing, swam with a sea turtle and the food was great too. Got to see so many fish which were awesome. So many bright colours and different sizes.

Santa is a very good driver, careful and very friendly. I had a great day with him. Thanks again.
