The driver was very punctual with a clean and comfortable car. The driver was very polite, and knowledgeable, sharing information during the 5 hour ride. Good driving skills made us feel safe in the challenging traffic. Also the guide at Borobudur Temple was very good and shared a very informative sight seeing. Altogether an excellent experience!

Amazing experience. Our driver Raka was great company and shared a lot of Balinese culture and traditions with us along the way. We were glad to have him as our driver. The snorkeling was fun but the best part was the River Rafting!

Excellent trip, worth every penny that you pay for. Dharma was an amazing tour guide, we had an absolute blast and the next time we’re in Bali again we’ll surely be booking another tour through you!

Etang was super nice and friendly! We got to visit all the sites I wanted and he was just a great guide! Definitely recommend

Did not get to see the sunrise, as mountain was clouded with mist. But climb and descent were very enjoyable.
