Traveler reviews
Good Tour

Great experiencr
Our guide, Eka was amazing showing us around Ubud and sharing about the local culture. Highly recommend
Great tour guide Yande
Nice tour. Especially the tourguide Yande I liked very much. When it started to rain during the tour he did his best to make sure everyone was comfortable and still having a good time.
Nice day out
Had a great day, our driver was lovely. He was polite, punctual and friendly. Bonus, we were the only 2 who booked this tour on the day, so ended up with a private tour! We really enjoyed the walking tour through the monkey forest, snapped lots of great photos, our driver took a few for us. We got to the spot to watch the herons in the scheduled timeframe, but looks like we unfortunately missed their nightly nesting/migration. Found a nice viewing spot to see the tops of the trees they nest in. Can't predict nature I guess!
