Usually I don't like joining tours but as I was only in Bali for one full day this was the ideal way to see the things that interested me the most. It was very well organised and a very pleasant experience. Thank you

Our guide who also was our driver was excellent! He told us a lot of interesting things and took us to less crowded places but equally good as the most popular touristic places.

Our guide Sushi was absolutely wonderful! We got to do all the activities we wanted to do and she gave us exceptional insight into Balianse culture. I would highly recommend
