On our first day, our very friendly tour guide Mr Nathan &Yogi picked us up from Lombok International Airport and brought us to visit Sasak cultural village. Our guides were versed in English and Bahasa. We were greeted very friendly by the locals and shown the sasak culture of weaving cloths. It was an interesting experience. Our guides helped to explained a variety of terms and sasak culture with interesting details and shared plentiful of information throughout our trip. After having such nice introduction with the tour guides we decided to follow their private itinerary planned for us to Gili Nanngu for a full day of activities such as snorkelling, lunch and sunset. They were very accommodating to our travels and offered to help take nice photos for us. We had a very nice snorkelling experience at Gili Nanngu followed by lunch and sunset in the surrounding Gilis. Would recommend them to other travellers who wish for the best travelling experience with experienced and friendly guides. Mr Nathan : +62 817-364-060 Mr Yogi: +62 8175703254
