Our guide, Kariasa, was truly AMAZING. The entire day was planned and executed perfectly, and he was such an excellent guide with a lot of knowledge of the many locations!! He was so nice, very accommodating, and a safe driver. He held all of our stuff as we walked and was considerate of our every need. We were also pleasantly surprised by how great he was at taking pictures of us. He took several pictures of each location to make sure he captured the perfect pictures. We honestly could not have asked for a better guide. Book a tour with Kariasa if you want a true Bali experience and an unforgettable day!

Was exactly the type of tour I was looking for…quick visit to a few of the popular places in Bali within a short span of time. I chose a private tour and was picked up on time by my friendly guide Cynthia. She was nice and knowledgeable about the information of the places we were visiting. She was also super patient despite the terrible traffic which made our tour last for almost 10 hours, despite it supposing to be only 8 hours.

This was a great experience. Our tour guide Ade was awesome, fun and knowledgeable. There was also some wiggle room to explore different things at our own pace. We are not big IG people and still loved this- It’s much more than just photo highlights, you really get to see a lot in this excursion. Fun, authentic, worth it!! (Also the lunch buffet was super tasty but if you want to just buy a small meal at the same place you can)

Sandi was awesome ! Very energetic and took tons of great photos. Also had ideas of which photos and videos to take to help us out! Lots of driving so be prepared for that

Awesome experience seeing the temples around Bali. Giri is an A+ driver and guide.
