Our guided tour with Ketat was wonderful! 10/10 would recommend his service for visiting Penglipuran Village, Kehen Temple, Besikah Temple, and Tukad Cepung. It was an amazing tour Ketat provided, he was very knowledgeable and excited to share it with us. Ketat was great at communication, texting to confirm everything the night prior, and he was early to pick us up, but didn’t make us rush, Ketat was also always delighted to talk and show us hidden spots! He was also very handy with a camera and knew all the best spots to grab that perfect picture. Furthermore he was a dedicated safe driver and tour guide, often telling us where it was slippery and pointing our hazards so we wouldn’t fall. He also gave us cold water, and we stopped for a small snack in Penglipuran at the Bamboo cafe which was delightful, and later at an astounding buffet lunch at Lereng Agung Restaurant which had breathtaking views of Agung the volcano and rice fields below. Overall, my friend and I had the best time with Ketat and asked him a million questions which he answered with passion for his culture and people. Would highly recommend to all who are interested!

Superb day with our guide Yogakamareka I recommend it Very beautiful landscapes and magnificent experiences
We highly recommend this tour program And especially our guide Yogakamareka
We had a wonderful day with Ketut. He is so friendly and knowledgeable and works hard to ensure his guests have a safe and fun time. The tour includes a good variety of different sites so you get a good feel for the culture. We especially loved the traditional village visit. The car is clean and comfortable and the food at the lunch stop is very nice. Highly recommended activity.
From start to finish I would highly recommend this tour. Ketut was extremly knowledgeable and helped me with the photos. The lunch buffet was excellent with a panoramic view of the mountain and rice terraces. The village and temples brillant and the waterfall was very beautiful. Thank you Ketut for a great day.
We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring East Bali with our driver, Ketut. From the moment he picked us up, he was friendly, punctual, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire tour. He drove safely, shared interesting information about Balinese culture, and never rushed us at any of the stops. Our itinerary included Penglipuran Village, the beautiful Bamboo Forest, Kehen Temple, Besakih Temple, and Tukad Cepung Waterfall. On top of that, Ketut also took us to Goa Raja Waterfall, which ended up being one of the highlights of our entire Bali trip. It was absolutely stunning, peaceful, and far less crowded than we expected. Every stop was unique and gave us a great insight into Bali's culture, history, and natural beauty. Ketut was also happy to take photos for us and made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy each location. If you're looking for a full-day tour that combines incredible temples, beautiful scenery, and hidden waterfalls with an outstanding local driver, we couldn't recommend this tour and Ketut highly enough. Thank you for helping make our Bali holiday so memorable!
This was the most peaceful day of experiencing the TRUE balinese culture. Not the hyped up tourist version, but actual balinese way of living. Our driver Ketut was so knowledgeable of the areas we visited. He was attentive, guiding us through the temples and explaining what everything meant. It was a day of variety...temples, bamboo forest, waterfall swim, lunch overlooking rice paddy fields and Mt Agung. Highly highly recommend. We would absolutely book with Ketut again.
Ketut was my guide and he was absolutely amazing! So knowledgeable in the history of Bali and was so lovely to have as a guide. Made me feel safe and comfortable as a female solo traveler. Would definitely recommend! Tour was also amazing and we saw some beautiful places.
This was a great tour. The temples we visited were beautiful and Ketut provides lots of context for everything we were seeing. I learned so much for about Bali’s custom and culture than I ever could have without a guide. I highly recommend this tour.
A truly wonderful experience. Ketut was a wonderful guide. As a solo, budget-conscious traveler, I was hesitant to pay for a private guide, but I am very glad that I did. I learned so much from Ketut throughout the day both at the temples we visited and also while we drove through the country side. It was a much more enriching experience than merely renting a scooter and walking around temples on my own would have been. The lunch location has an amazing view and the waterfall we visited was lovely. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn more about Bali.
