5.00We were lucky enough to have a good guide for that day. He gave us many explanations and spontaneously offered to take regular pictures. The Ubuud Monkey Forest was our favorite compared to those made in previous years. The temples were soothing and beautiful. I recommend this day!!! ✅👍🏻

5.00We had an amazing day with Agos. We went to two temples, the rice paddies, an Artist Village and had an authentic Indonesian lunch. We even stopped at a coconut stand where Agos taught us how to enjoy coconuts the Balinese way. He shared his love for Balinese culture and life as well as history. He was always so warm, funny and engaging. My teenage kids adored Agos and his stories. He was so good with kids. If you are lucky enough to visit Bali, I highly recommend you find a Day to spend with Agos
Very worthwhile

5.00Suryi was a great guide: excellent English, very knowledgeable, kind and responsive. The car was clean and comfortable and Suryi was a very safe driver on the crazy Balinese roads. The most impressive sight was the monuments of Gunung Kawi - worth all the steps. The monkey forest was a nice finale - beautiful forest/jungle and well-behaved monkeys! The coffee plantation was a worthwhile option with much information and fun tasting. Overall, the tour was varied very enjoyable, good value and we can thoroughly recommend it.
Perfect Day

5.00Highly recommend and ask for Ma-de! Winding down after a few weeks in SE Asia we decided to spend a few days in UBUD and added in this tour to break free of the busy downtown UBUD streets. Although our hotel, Westin Element, offered a free shuttle to the monkey sanctuary, having this as part of the package - made for a perfect start of the day. This wasn’t’ initially on the top of my list but turned out to be a wonderful experience - the monkeys are well taken care of and roam free, yet I never felt as if they were a threat to our young child. From there, Ma-de bought us to a less visited temple, then a wonderful stop for lunch, followed by a stop over at a interactive coffee plantation - another highlight. After a full sampling and a nice dose of caffeine, we visited the Pura Tirta Empul (lots of tourists wanting to be cleansed - well, at least for their Instagrams -but worth the stop), and then onward to a beautiful rice field viewing. For me, the key to these tours is having an interactive driver to help explain the history of the sites along with adding in local knowledge while in transit. Ma-de helped to create the perfect day! Thanks!
