Excellent experience communicating via WhatsApp. Prompt reply and confirmation. Driver Oka was on time and took great care of us. His English is good and friendly. Highly recommend both the tour and driver Oka!
Our driver Naya, was really helpful, kind and even flexible during the whole tour, highly recommended for everyone!!!
Took a private tour to Ubud. Driver was always on time, good and easy to work with. Car was comfortable. Company rep was also prompt in communication. Would recommend!
Well organised tour with pickup from airport. Iwan was super friendly and guided us along the tourist attractions . Have done a couple of day trips with Bali golden tour , will 100% recommend them
Don’t know if we could possibly have packed more in to a day! We saw so much more of Bali than we thought we could and thoroughly enjoyed it all. Our guide Arsa was so friendly and accommodating of our interests! He answered so many of our questions and seemed so proud to show us Bali. He pointed out so many interesting things along the way which we appreciated. We expressed an interest in local batik clothing and he added on a trip to a place where it’s made which we loved seeing. We were pooped when we got back to the hotel but happy pooped! Highly recommend this tour and our guide Arsa. You won’t be disappointed!
I took this trip as I did not have much time. The trip was very nice. I enjoyed the the different points where we stopped. The driver (Bagus) was very nice and helpful. I hope I would have more time to enjoy Bali.
