Seeing a temple and learning a bit about it's significance, seeing rice and watermellon fields and learn briefly about crop rotation and seeing a real Balinese market was wonderful. We got to release hatchling turtles into the ocean to enhance turtle conservation which was moving. The lady that guided us was caring and knowledgeable. Very impressed.”

“It's a very sincere tour, given from the heart of a local. It has it all: food, culture, history, jokes. Worth every penny, highly recommended. You are provided a good variety of food: meat, noodles, soup, tofu, dessert with many flavors: sweet, sour, spicy, tangy, nutty. My favourite was having the soto babat soup from a very local family business, operating since 1980. At least 2 family generations worked there and the food shiws those decades of experience. The tour guide Rus is polite, thoughtful, helpful and knowledgeable. He packed the tour with small, vivid experiences that I will cherish. It made my day. all in all highly recommended and…”
