This customizable tour was amazing, 10/10 recommend! Our guide, Safii, was great! He was nice, welcoming and taught us about Indonesian and Balinese culture while we drove from one place to the next. We were able to go to a place where they paint textiles, the monkey forest, rice terraces, and finished off with the kopi luwak process. Incredible!

We had an amazing experience that was mostly because of our tour guide Dewa. He made our trip the most fun and took us to the best photo locations while giving us good insights into the balinese culture. The views were breathtaking and definitely worth the money. We would definitely recommend booking this trip!
