Per one customer who booked the Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour, "Sammy ... curated a brilliant 8-hour day for us. We loved the balance of culture at Batuan Temple and the art villages with the natural beauty of the Tegalalang Rice Terraces and Tegenungan Waterfall and selfies with monkeys at the Sacred Monkey Forest. Sammy is more than just [a] driver—he's a great storyteller and host."
