“We had a fantastic day with our driver and guide Adi! He went out of his way to make sure we had a great Ubud experience. He was very knowledgeable about all of the stops and the Balinese culture generally (no matter what random questions we may have asked). The car was very comfortable and we were provided bottles of water for the day. We highly recommend this experience (and Adi particularly) to anyone looking to explore Ubud.”

“Putra was an amazing tour guide who was very fluent in English. He was very knowledgeable about Balinese culture, religions, and the temples we visited. He was very patient and did not hurry us if we took long to view the places. Also Putra is a good photographer. Although, he took us to two pricey tourist restaurants where food was bland and way too salty.”
