What people are saying about Ubud

Definitely my most memorable visit to Bali because of our guide - Raca! I need to specifically highlight that he is truly passionate about what he is doing, showing us the best way to take the pictures with the beautiful scene, sharing culture and interesting facts about Bali. Both my husband and I did not expect such level of standard on both food and environment from the jungle swim… Well equipped and swimming in natural spring water! You will definitely have a unforgettable trip with Raca’s patient and his photo taking skill is beyond just good!

It was simply incredible : because this trip is organized well, we have done everything from the early morning to the early afternoon (not queue at all for the gate!!!). Booking this tour was the best idea, the guide explain me everything and I feel so happy to discover Bali with so much passion. Great trip, incredible guide, best memories : I highly recommend!!!!

we had a great day visiting temples, waterfalls, and rice terraces, and criss-crossing Bali. What a wonderful day seeing not the most famous places. Few other travelers everywhere we went, except the marvelous waterfall. We made some adjustments to the itinerary with the help of Topan, our guide, who was very informative, helpful, and felxible.

The property is beautiful, the spa is serene, with great views from the treatment room over the rice fields, and the treatment experience was sublime. I can’t recommend this highly enough, especially for the very reasonable price.

What a fabulous and unique learning experience to get a glimpse into handmade craft from a master using only the tools he does was, for me, amazing. I helped make a turtle, and I will treasure the experience.
