What people are saying about Bali

It was my first time hiking, but I managed to make the climb thanks to my guide (I unfortunately forgot his name…). He was very helpful, and made sure to support people in our group when certain parts of the climb were too steep, etc. I will warn you though, the climb down is quite tough. It is very easy to slip, and people do get hurt if they are not careful. Anyways, I’d recommend this to anyone who would like to challenge themselves (you’ll feel very accomplished once the climb is over!). Special shout out to our driver Bagonk for getting us safely to and from the climb at ungodly hours!

The trip was amazing. The tour guide, Gusti was his name, made us feel secured and cared for the entire trip. He managed to get the best spots for a photo and made us feel cared for during the boat ride as well as the trip on Nusa penida as well. Also our driver, shutri, helped out as a photographer. Even on the scariest of roads he drive safely and swiftly. An amazing experience well worth the price!

Wonderful private tour in the north of Bali, I arrived early at the waterfall so there were basically no tourists, I could even bathe in the waterfall ! Thanks again to my guide Made Sudiartha, always giving me explanations on Balinese culture and recommending me good places.

Beautiful Tour: despite non optimal weather conditions, we were able to see everything! Perfect Guide: Dana was very nice and helpfull. He explained us many interesting things about traditions in Bali. Very recommended! Francesco and Desiree
