Thanks for the memorable tour!

Really lucked out with Budi as my tour guide. With 30 years of experience hes super knowledgeable and great at taking photos. Meaning we avoided the crowds where possible and had the views and experiences all to myself. Strong recommend on the tour, even if it is further out. The monuments, temple and waterfalls with that amazing view for lunch are worth the long day!

Temple tour - awesome driver

Last minute( last night) booked the Besakih Great Temple (mother temple) tour for today with eco bali. Within minutes of email confirmation, I got Whatsapp message from Ariana to coordinated and confirmed pickup location and time. He arrived 15 minutes earlier than the meeting time the next day and patiently waiting for me to finished my order of coffee and bakery then we off to the tour. He is very approachable and easy to talk to which makes the 3 hrs drive went by quick. He is also very accommodating. He make an Extra stop (out of the itinerary ) to a local plantation after found out I was looking for some local Bali coffee. Before we fight hectic traffic with heavy rain back to hotel. Over all, Ariana makes the tour was very relax, no rushing. It was very enjoyable tour. I highly recommended and will contact him again when I am visiting Bali again.
