“Our guide Nyoman did a great job on the tour. He knows all about Bali and explained the customs. He arrived at our villa on time. We had plenty of time at each stop to enjoy the scenery.

Nyoman did several hours of driving with ease.”

“I have rated mostly average because - our guide was late, which resulted in us getting late to the Temples, when we arrived at the Temples we had issues with the vouchers purchased, this took an addition 1/2hr of our time to sort, once in the Temples it felt rushed, we didn’t explore all of the areas. Leaving and heading to the Waterfalls our guide got lost, and we were 1 hour in the wrong direction, multiple stops on the way, finally arriving at the Waterfalls it was late afternoon however they were beautiful and worth seeing but out time was cut very very short at each. We didn’t get…”

“Le chauffeur était très gentil et la voiture très confortable. Nous avons commencé par le temple de Besakih j’ai été confié à un guide, le temple était beau mais le moment a été gâché par le guide du temple expéditif sur la visite et qui m’a mis la pression pour que je lui donne de l’argent, c’est le premier balinais désagréable que j’ai rencontré. Ensuite Lempuyang, je dirai inutile, trop de touriste et rien à voir a part les fameuses Heaven Gâtés. Le temple de Tirta ganga en revanche était incroyable beaucoup de touristes mais très beau, les touristes sont tous au même endroit pour LA photo Instagram et le…”
