A thoroughly memorable day in Bali

We had an absolutely brilliant guide in Yasmika, and thoroughly enjoyed our day from start to finish. He was completely flexible, and when there were parts of the programme we didn’t want to do, he let us swap these for other things we wanted with no problem, swapping the price of our entry tickets for the ones we requested. He found us a delightful place for lunch overlooking the rice paddies, and our meal was both excellent and good value. We had a brilliant 10 hours, and he was prepared to show us more if we had wanted.
