Gates of Lempuyang regular experience

The places were very nice but the organization was very bad, first I had it booked and I was warned the night before that Lempuyang would be closed, then on the day of the tour the driver at 04:15 calls me that he had punctured a wheel, departed an hour later than scheduled (5am) I found the latter strange as I had to warn before the pickup time that it was 4am, rather I think he fell asleep

Stunning views with surprise foodie shopping on the way home :P

We had a brilliant day trip with our driver Johnny. He made the experience fun and interesting, showing us all the great spots as well to buy nice fruit, where locals go. He shared with us many useful tips to get our way around Bali. We really appreciated his good knowledge of his country, culture and food. He was incredibly attentive, friendly spirit and super easy to talk to and joke with. We hope to see him again when we return to Bali :) !! Many thanks to Johny🫶🏻

Beautiful sites to see!

We had such an amazing day with our guide Wira! He took us to the Gates of Heaven, Tirta Gangga Water Palace, and a Luwak coffee plantation. Every stop was beautiful and Wira made the whole experience so easy and fun. He was super knowledgeable about the culture and history, really friendly, and took great photos for us too. We never felt rushed and he made sure we were comfortable the whole time. Highly recommend Wira if you’re planning a tour in Bali. He made our day unforgettable!

The Heavens Gate Tour

My experience was very good and Mt tour guide Bawa was very excellent. He was very attentive and a positive person. He made sure I was well taken cared of and he helped with all my photos. He was sure to watch Mt belongings when I would walk off to go see and enjoy all the wonderful sights. I would do this tour again and most certainly pick Bawa. He was awesome and such a gentle soul.
