Great tour of Bali attractions

We really enjoyed our tour of Bali attractions with Adi who was our driver and guide. He was very professional and friendly and his time keeping was perfect. We were able to tailor the time spent at each venue to suit our needs and be back at the ship in good time despite the traffic jams. We highly recommend this tour and Adi to all seeking a great tour of Bali highlights including rice terraces, waterfalls, coffee tasting and shopping for traditional Bali wares.

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.

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.

Balanese Street food with Ina

Ina our guide was very knowledgeable about both the food and Bali in general and was fun to do the walking tour with. We did not have to walk very far to try a huge range of local food from local eateries. Would highly recommend this Tour to everyone wanting a authentic Balanese food experience.

David_M, Nov 2025

Great day out, great bikes, great guides

We had a wonderful day out, the guides were very friendly and professional plus the e-bikes were high quality. Don’t expect a full tour of Tegalalang Rice Fields but you’ll pass by and stop at another rice field on the way. Options at the end to go on zip wires, visit a coffee plantation or go on the swing as extras. The food was very tasty. Just a great morning out getting out of the centre of Ubud.

Carla_G, Sept 2025

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

Private Uluwatu Sunset, Kecak Dance, Dinner at Jimbaran Beach

Ahmet_S, Jul 2025

The entire experience was...

The entire experience was seamless from start to finish. Our driver, Bagus, played a big role in making everything run smoothly. He was calm, extremely polite, and spoke excellent English, which made the ride both comfortable and enjoyable. We truly appreciated his patience and professionalism throughout the evening. The Kecak dance itself was absolutely mesmerizing — a powerful and unique performance that we believe everyone visiting Bali should experience at least once.

Amazing Day Tour of Bali’s Temples with Gusti

We had a great day exploring some of Bali’s most iconic temples, all thanks to our incredible driver and guide, Gusti eka. Our tour started with a visit to a temple in Mengwi, followed by the Tanah Lot Temple with its dramatic seaside setting. We ended the day at Uluwatu Temple, where we enjoyed the spectacular Kecak Fire Dance at sunset. Gusti went above and beyond to make our day smooth and enjoyable. He not only drove us safely between sites but also arranged our tickets in advance, helped us avoid long queues, and even found a lovely spot for lunch. He also took us to a coffee tasting, which was a fun and unexpected bonus.
