Unforgettable experience🙌 - Incredible experience, beautiful places. My Yoga guide was extremely punctual as agreed, he explained to me a lot about Bali, its history and its culture during the trip. He was extremely friendly, fun, helpful, always willing to take nice photos and videos of me. A tour with him is highly recommended.

Very good in general. - Beautiful tour but it’s not a guided tour, it’s just a driver. My driver Gede was very nice but his English was not very good. He was still very helpful and patient. I don’t recommend waiting the 4h to take the mirrored picture at doors of heavens. Not worth the wait.

Nice toue - Nice private tour to all the mentioned temples. Our driver Ary was correct, arrived early, drove well and made several stops along the way so we could enjoy the beautiful scenery. :) The waiting time for 'the picture' at Lempuyang temple is 2-3 hours, so if you skip taking it like we did you'll be early at all the other temples and avoid the masses!

Never use Bali Trekking Exploration for your tours! - The driver from the Bali Trekking Exploration company did not take me to the Besakih Temple as required. When I realized we were going back to my hotel, I quered why he did not take me there. He cited that he alrteady made two additional stops. He referred to a lunchtime stop in a bambook garden. A fair way toward the city, it was too late to go back to Besakih. I would never recommend anyone to use Bali Trekking Exploration company or their drivers.

Beautiful and large temple complex. But for non-Hindus a rather unpleasant experience - The temple complex is worth seeing, but there are much more beautiful temples in Bali. Some areas are reserved for believers only, which is understandable and right. However, if you are not a believer, you will be surrounded and pressured to buy offerings, headgear and a belly band. You then have to pray in the highest temple, be blessed by the priest and make a "donation". The guide will not tolerate any objections or discussions and the "donation" is still negotiated. This rip-off has nothing to do with faith.

Not recommended to anyone ever - Never book with this provider. The driver didn’t show up. We were waiting at the lobby at 6am, calling & sending messages - no response then, no response now (19 hrs later). We had to hire another company in the last moment and pay twice. Gate of Heaven temple was closed due to celebrations - if they told us (we booked a few weeks in advance) we could have reaaranged our itinerary for another day. Now we don’t have the time to travel 3hrs in one direction to see it. So we are leaving Bali without seeing one of it’s main attractions due to this totally incompetent fraudulent “provider”. I cannot describe how dissappointed I am after planning this vacation for 2 months. Noone ever should book with them!!!!

TOURIST TRAP! AVOID! - HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. TOURIST TRAP. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! There is an entrance fee of 90K. When you get inside the prayer area, they will ask you to donate with specific amount! After that, the tour guide will ask a huge tip amount. Horrible experience. Hope they all get bad karma.
