Our tour guy was the best , friendly, good energy, and he did a great job .
Our day was wonderful and filled with soooo much! Sammy had great information to share and was completely accommodating. We saw all the best places with Sammy guiding us through.
Our driver, Yasmika, was AMAZING! We had such a great time, mostly because of his kind attitude, flexibility, and knowledge of the area. We loved talking to him about his life and experiences in Bali, and we learned so much from him! He truly deserves the world! He was incredibly helpful everywhere we went. If you are booking in the future, MAKE SURE YOU BOOK WITH YASMIKA if you want an unforgettable experience!
My wife and I had such a great time on this tour. Our guide Sammy was very knowledgeable and engaging. He tailored the tour according to our interests and made sure we were comfortable and cool in the car. We were able to see one of the family compounds and meet the elder locals that lived there which was an amazing experience. We also had a chance to have lunch at a restaurant where I had a delicious balinese entree. We visited the monkey forest and a beautiful waterfall and were able to take some cool photos. I recommend this tour and guide without any reservations if you are looking to go on a custom tailored tour.
Sammy was an amazing guide! He was understanding of our needs, extremely knowledgeable about the local history, and shared personal stories that brought Balinesian culture to life. Best part of our trip!
My husband and I had a great experience on our full day tour of Bali! Our driver, Krisna was excellent and very kind to take us everywhere we wanted to go. He made sure the day flowed well and provided a unique experience. He also made sure to take lots of pictures of us throughout the day, which I really appreciate. I think it’s well worth it to have the convenience of your own driver for the day. We got to see a lot!
Sudi was an exceptional host. He had a great knowledge of everything to do in ubud and all of his recommendations were great. He was very friendly, and great at taking photos. We highly recommend booking this tour. Ask for Sudi if he is available.
Aris was an exception guide. Great driver. Got us everywhere we wanted to go. We missed the waterfall only because it started to rain.
Wonderful guide and very knowledgeable. We told him what we had already saw and asked for his suggestions. We couldn’t be happier.
We had an amazing full-day private tour in Ubud, Bali with Krishna as our driver and guide. He was very professional, friendly, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. He took us to beautiful places, gave us great local recommendations, and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. The service was excellent, the car was clean, and everything was perfectly organized. Highly recommended if you want to explore Bali stress-free and have a memorable experience. Thank you, crisma
