Ubud with Esa

5.00I did a half day with Esa from Seminyak yo Ubud. I had an awesome day with visits to the Monkey Forest, Coffee Plantation and Temple at Sebatu. Esa was amazing; a polite gentleman who drove very well from Ubud to Seminyak to collect me. So grateful for his patience with driving and a fabulous photographer also for me. 🙏🏼
Deserves ten stars!

5.00Excellent experience. Deserves ten stars! Esa, our guide and driver, is a very nice, polite and knowledgeable young man and we felt perfectly at ease in his company. We packed a lot into the six hours we were together but never felt rushed or under pressure yet he ensured that we were back at the ship by the time we’d stipulated even using his knowledge of the area to take back roads to avoid traffic congestion. He took photos of us at various points of interest and answered all our questions fully and with patience. Can’t recommend Esa and this experience highly enough.

5.00We had the most amazing time with the lovely Esa, a charming and knowledgeable young man who drove us around in absolute comfort in an air conditioned vehicle. He communicated well with us at every stage so we were confident that he would be there to meet us at the appointed time, which he was. He managed to hit just the right note between imparting interesting information and having periods of quiet without the silence feeling uncomfortable. We fitted a lot into the six hours we were with him but didn’t feel rushed at any point. Yet he was meticulous about getting us back to the ship by the time we’d stipulated, using his local knowledge to avoid traffic congestion which just added to the enjoyment as there was so much of interest to see along the way. We were very impressed and cannot recommend Esa enough. We’d give him ten stars if we could!
Awesome driver and guide

5.00Maha is the absolute best! We loved our tour with him and he truly made our Bali experience. We are so happy we got him as our guide. He was very patient, kind, knowledgeable and very accommodating. A pleasure to spend the half day with. He also made the most excellent rec to do the water purification ceremony at a less crowded temple. We wish we had listened to him from the get go as the popular Tirta empul had crazy lines and was way too crowded. We decided not to do the water ceremony there after seeing the lines and were still able to stop at a quieter temple per his suggestion. He was very accommodating. His rec was much more beautiful and peaceful, and we had the most magical experience there. We would definitely hire him again in a heartbeat and would recommend this tour to anyone. The car was also very roomy and comfortable. Maha provided water bottles and umbrellas for the rain. He also held all our belongings and took photos. He very much went above and beyond. What a gracious and accommodating guide he is!
best place and best driver

5.00From Ubud we did not want a full day tour. Esa, our guide. took us to a rice terrace, temple, coffee plantation and monkey forest. It took us 4 hours in all which was ideal. We chose to start at 8 to avoid the afternoon sun but we could have started later.
Recommend the half day tour
