​5/5 Stars – An Unforgettable Day at the Gates of Heaven with Gung!

Our excursion to the Gates of Heaven was absolutely incredible, easily marking it as one of our best days in Bali! A massive part of what made this day so special was our wonderful driver, Gung Basir. From the very start, he set a fantastic tone for the day by arriving not just promptly, but early. Throughout the entire trip, he was incredibly pleasant, warm, and highly accommodating to all of our needs. ​We spent the day laughing, sharing great conversations, and he even helped us capture beautiful photos to remember the trip by. Gung genuinely went above and beyond to ensure we had a smooth and memorable experience. ​If you are planning a trip to the Gates of Heaven, I cannot recommend booking with Gung highly enough. Thank you, Gung, for an unforgettable day!

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🫶🏻
