The yoga was very eye opening and thought provoking. I was able to practice more flexibility. The whole entire day was awesome. From visiting the temple to the aura cleansing I was amazed. The monkey forest was the cherry on top of it all because it was a great ending to the day. My tour guide was amazing and filled with knowledge for sure. I am grateful to have had this as my first tour for my vacation. Definitely set the bar pretty high for what’s to come.

The studio is in a remote location so you will most likely need a taxi as the studio does not do collection. The experience itself was so fun, though I realise I have little talent in silverworking myself. The teachers help you a lot and take your creation to a whole other level!

This was so professionally organized!!Loved it from the beginning to the very end,farm is amazing place to see and "taste" and you can learn so much not only about cooking but about indonesian culture in general.Highly recommended tour!

We really enjoyed this activity, the teachers were nice and we were very pleased with the final result. We did the 10am course and were the only ones there.

Fun cooking class in great settling. Great flavors and well organized. The guides are friendly and very informative
