Fantastic tour of central and eastern Bali. Our guide, Wah Ko, was great, giving us very detailed explanations at the various stops to visit the Telalagang rice paddies and the Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu and Besakih temples, where we finished the tour before returning to the hotel. And on the way between the temples stop to take in the views over Lake Batur. I would especially highlight the purification ritual in Pura Sebatu, although the whole day was great. Unforgettable experience.

Our tour guide Paul was prompt picking us up at our hotel, was very nice and knowledgeable. He was also patient as we had 12 family members in the van. We had a buffet lunch that was very good and the temples were beautiful. Thank you, Paul for everything you did today keeping us on track.
I don't generally like them...

In general I don’t like temples but this one in particular I really liked for its landscapes and for the traditional people who come to make the offerings.
Great day out with Gede

Our tour with Dewa was excellent. He is a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide; we really enjoyed the opportunity to visit some of Bali’s temples, rice terraces and a plantation. As his English is so good it was easy to ask questions. He brought cold water for the trip, knew where to take the best photos, always drove safely and made our day very memorable. I really recommend these tours.

My girlfriend and I took a car tour with Wayan (our driver for the day), the experience was amazing and we both enjoyed. Good driver, clean car and most importantly, a highly respectful person. Recommendable for anyone wanting to know the Island better!
