4.00This tour provided us with information about Gamelan music and the opportunity to dabble at playing the instruments ourselves. We visited a forge and huge work space where the instruments are produced as well as a family owned property where cooking and Gamelan traditions are promoted. We were the only tourists present there that morning. We expected a more structured "class" with several students since we were advised by TripAdvisor that this tour was likely to sell out. The photo on the TripAdvisor site is misleading. Whatever. It was still fun to touch and play with the instruments. Gusde, our guide, provided a great deal of information about the culture of Bali, including village life. I would recommend the tour to musicians and music enthusiasts, but it may not be for everyone.
