I too chose this tour to have some company for the day, and I too ended up being on a solo tour. Kadek, however, was a fantastic tour escort. He was an absolute gentleman, very attentive and respectful the entire time, which allowed me to enjoy the tour 100%. We visited all the mentioned spots and made some impromptu photo stops on the way, too. The lunch restaurant and sunset spot Kadek recommended were both perfect. Even though I would have loved a bit more in-depth information about the history and culture etc, I did get loads of new information. This was by far the best day of my entire stay in Bali. Highly recommended.

Had a great trip! Our guide Desa was lovely and even made good pictures of us. Tanat Loh with the amazing sunset was the best! Rice fields and coffee plantage was also one of my favorites. And the waterfall! Can't describe. Just a perfect trip! Got catched up right on time in the morning (the guide was already waiting), got back late at night, full with impressions of the day. Book that trip, it's phenomenal!

Most amazing experience, with reliable and trusted tour guide provided detailed information about the areas and destinations visited as well as taking us to recommend restaurants with the best food weve had so far! 10/10 recommend
