Beautiful mixed tour - This tour was an amazing!! Not only did we get to see two breath taking temples with beautiful views, but one of the cleanest and oldest villages in the world followed by a walk through a bamboo forest and the most magnificent waterfall in a cave. Our guide Ketut was full of knowledge and so helpful, and also bought us a delicious traditional Balinese morning tea in the bamboo forest. Could not recommend this tour more!

Mixing things up - This tour was an awe inspiring experience! I chose this tour to mix things up a bit so we were not just seeing temples and waterfalls but we also got to see this amazing village, which was so picturesque and a beautiful, followed by an absolutely beautiful bamboo forest walk, where our amazing tour guide Ketut shouted us a mouth watering morning tea of sweet potato coconut balls that had a warm palm sugar center and the most delicious coffee to go with them, we also where taken to one of the biggest temples in Bali. Ketut was extremely knowledgeable and took us right to the top to see a view that I feel grateful to have seen, while he took photos of us. Then we got to see the most beautiful waterfall and walk along a river bed that ran through a cave, I really did feel like I was back in time. I could not recommend this tour enough! Thank you Ketut!

Fantastic tour, highly recommended! - The Tour with Ketut was amazing! We left early in the morning to avoid too much traffic and went first to Penglipuran village, the bamboo forest, then had lunch in an amazing place with a beautiful view to mount Agun and last but not least we've visited Besakih Temple which was really impressive. Ketut is a very attentive driver and guide. He made us feel at ease and we've had a great time! I am highly recommending booking a tour with him!

Outstanding! - Ketut is an exceptional tour guide who deserves all the praise he gets! This is the second day trip we've done with him, and he really does know how to help people have a memorable day. He's extremely knowledgeable when it comes to many aspects of Bali and his English is really, really good! I'm also impressed with the professional and respectful way he conducts his tours, he's so much fun and he takes the best pictures!

Knowledgeable, Fun and Professional Guide - Ketut Suwenda is an excellent guide who is fun, knowledgeable and professional at all times. We also had him for an Ubud Tour that we booked and were extremely pleased to see that he would be our guide again for this tour. He was extremely helpful with replacing Tirta Empul with lunch at a really nice restaurant with a view of Mt. Agung volcano because we had already seen the temple with him on our other tour. You will not be disappointed with this tour or Ketut and I highly recommend you book if you are looking to make the most out of your visit.
