What are people saying about Bali

Susan_F, Apr 2026

Private tour in Ubud.

My wife and I (Susan and David) had an amazing private tour with Esa. Esa is professional, knowledgeable, polite, patient and entertaining. We went to the monkey forest, rice terrace and the Tirta temple. We finished a little early so Esa was kind enough to take us to the silver and gold gallery (Yatra Gallery). We had a demonstration on how some silver jewelry is made. Afterwords we shopped at the gallery and found great prices, so my wife and I purchased a few items. An amazing day with Esa.

Tirta Empul Temple Tour with Spiritual Cleansing

Julian_G, Apr 2026

Excellent & effortless temple tour/water ritual

Koman is an excellent, friendly, and very knowledgeable tour operator! He managed my tour and water purification ritual at the temple, handled entry requirements, sarong hire for the temple and holy pools. It was a very frictionless experience, I’d highly highly recommend booking with him for this experience!

Half Day Bali Tour

Diana_M, Mar 2026

Very flexible

We really enjoyed the half day! Our guide was so flexible & willing to stop at other places along the way in addition to what was planned. We didn’t take him up on it as we needed to be back for our flight home. But it was nice to know we had the option.

Uluwatu temple, Kecak dance with dinner

Our driver Kodak arrived on time and told us what to expect on the way. We have been there before however not with a tour guide. Having Kadak with us definitely gave us a better insight on the history as well as the traditions and customs of the Balinese people. The highlight for us was the Kecak dance. Amazing! Kadak was a very friendly,polite and courteous guide. Would definitely recommend this tour.

A Night to Remember

A very memorable experience for us. We met our daughter’s high school classmates at the dance. How cool is that. We’re all from Melbourne and haven’t seen each other for about at least 15-20 years. It’s WOW. Gusde our guide look after us with care, very polite and really good at his job. Highly recommended. I will request him next time we’re back. All good with him.

Frank_B, Oct 2025

Brilliant Day in Ubud with our driver and guide, Dee. Highly recommended!

Had an amazing day visiting the Batik-making, Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces, Hindu Temple, Coffee Plantation and Waterfall. The half-day tour actually lasted nearly 9 hours and our driver/guide Dee was so friendly, knowledgeable and flexible (taking us to the Monkey Forest when we asked him to, even though it wasn’t part of the tour). He even stopped at the supermarket and ATM for us on the way home. Can’t recommend this tour and company highly enough. Amazing value for money.

We had the pleasure of...

We had the pleasure of having Dono as our photographer, and he was absolutely amazing. He guided us through the whole process with great posing suggestions, which made everything feel natural and fun. We visited Happy Swing and the Tegalalang Rice Terrace, and he captured so many beautiful moments along the way. Dono was very experienced and allowed us to truly enjoy our day without feeling rushed. He was also extremely friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We received a large selection of photos via Google Drive and can’t wait to see the edited versions. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to capture their Bali memories!

Ubud eBikes Tour to Tegallalang Rice Terrace

A Personalized Touch

What a special morning this was! Seeing a Balinese home, visiting a temple and learning of the Balinese Hindu religion and how it’s woven into the culture, and taking in the stunning rice terraces was simply amazing. Yet the best part were the tour guides who were not only knowledge and friendly they looked out for everyone’s safety. I cannot begin to thank them for dealing with me being the slowest one and being thoughtful when I needed to take a break. One stayed with me while the other continued on with the group so they wouldn’t be slowed down. This was a truly great way to see and learn about Bali.

Amazing experience if you're after authentic local cuisine!

Merta Putra was absolutely incredible! Walked around tasting some of the most delicious local cuisines whilst also learning a lot about the culture and Balinese people. Our Visit to a local fresh produce market is not for the faint hearted, but we really couldn't have asked for a more authentic experience. We visited places we could have never discovered on our own. Hidden gems. Thank you

Half Day Tanah Lot Temple Private Guided Tour

Katya_B, Aug 2025

Wonderful solo trip

I am staying in Bali with my husband and step son who don’t have an interest in temples. I was dubious about going alone, so I decided to book this trip. Neoman was a perfect gentleman, making me feel at ease from the start. He came with me to Taman Ayun Temple where he told me all about the history and culture. He then showed me around Tanah Lot and watched my belongings while I wandered off to the temple and into the sea. Neoman took great photographs of me by the temples too. Nothing was too much trouble, he was very kind, gentle and engaging. I would highly recommend this trip for solos and families.
