We had a wonderful full day tour with exceptional driver Agung. He drove us safely around the sites and helped take great photos. He is very courteous and knowledgeable. He very patiently explained the Balienese cultural aspects of each site. Overall a wonderful tour with Agung.

Amazing experience to start exploring Bali

Serena_S, Oct 2025

Wonderful experience, with the right combination of sightseeing and adventure! Special and big thanks to our guide and driver Ketut Mudita! We took this tour in our first day in Bali and he made us fall in love with this beautiful land and culture. Highly recommended

Beautiful tour with Ketut

Siobhan_M, Aug 2025

Today's tour with Ketut was great! I loved the village we visited, seeing the houses, family temples, and people in their community. The cave waterfall was breathtaking, and a fun walk through the river and rocks to get to this spectacular site! The besakih temple was definitely worth the visit. It's set on the hillside of Mt Agung, in a picturesque spot! Ketut was a great guide, providing good information and answering my questions. He's very professional, respectful, and kind!

Excellent service

Lynda_W, Jul 2025

What a wonderful day!! I had the kindest and most delightful driver, Agung. He readily shared insights on the area and culture. I was very very lucky to have this guide. The tour was much more than just seeing the wonders of Bali. I learned so much! We saw important sights in Bali . The car was comfortable. I was introduced to local customs and fruits. A perfect day

Fantastic tour!

Amazing tour of temples and waterfalls, Agung was the perfect tour guide and so knowledgeable! Would recommend :)

Best tour to do in Bali

Lorraine_E, Nov 2024

Our tour operator Agung was exceptional and made the experience so much more with his knowledge, his calmness and really understanding what we were wanting from this experience. The tour is a must do and our guide Agung was top notch..

Don’t miss this tour

I recently visited the Besakih Temple, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience, thanks to my guide, Agung. The temple is incredible, perched on the slopes of a mountain, and you can really feel the history—over a thousand years worth! Agung made everything come alive, and I learned so much about Balinese culture and the temple's significance. Highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to connect with Bali’s cultural heritage!

Great day we spent with Ketut

drjameschenscan, Jul 2024

Everything was so interesting to see. Our guide/driver is informative and helpful. We highly recommend this tour in the company of Ketut.

Outstanding tour 👍👍👍

Jessica_S, Jul 2024

We had the BEST day with Agung. He was an excellent driver and navigated the way to the temples, restaurant and waterfall masterfully. We were so lucky to visit on a ceremony day! Agung was super knowledgeable. His English is great. He was super cool to hang out with. And he took some AMAZING photos for us!

Great day great guide!!

Lisa_Y, May 2024

We had a great day and our driver was very accommodating. He was on time and full of great information. The entire day went perfectly.

Mixing things up

eemead, Jan 2024

This tour was an awe inspiring experience! I chose this tour to mix things up a bit so we were not just seeing temples and waterfalls but we also got to see this amazing village, which was so picturesque and a beautiful, followed by an absolutely beautiful bamboo forest walk, where our amazing tour guide Ketut shouted us a mouth watering morning tea of sweet potato coconut balls that had a warm palm sugar center and the most delicious coffee to go with them, we also where taken to one of the biggest temples in Bali. Ketut was extremely knowledgeable and took us right to the top to see a view that I feel grateful to have seen, while he took photos of us. Then we got to see the most beautiful waterfall and walk along a river bed that ran through a cave, I really did feel like I was back in time. I could not recommend this tour enough! Thank you Ketut!

Amazing, magical & memorable trip!

Miyuki_H, Apr 2023

Ketut, the driver/guide/my personal photographer(!), was great! He was on time, polite, professional and knowledgeable. He had contacted me the night before to see if I’m still keen to go to Besakih temple even though the traffic would be hectic with the ceremony happening at that time, otherwise he would take me to the second biggest temple instead. As my heart was set to go to Besakih, he was happy to go with my wish. He is a safe, considerate and efficient driver. The whole trip was well planned. I LOVED every single stop that we made. It was just magical!! Such a memorable trip!! Thank you Ketut😊

Bali has not only tourist attractions but also history

Baekyoung_J, Mar 2026

It was a good opportunity to know about Bali besides the maritime activities. Traditional Village was beautiful, clean and well preserved, and Besakih Temple was different from Hindu temples in other areas. The Ketut Mudita guide was kind to tell you about history and Hinduism. It was a very satisfying trip.
