Beautiful day in paradise - Hi such an excellent trip from start to finish. Our driver Nyoman was was the best. He communicated with us telling us what to bring with us towels flip flops etc. The waterfall was fantastic and refreshing. The steps down are quite steep, easy going down a little harder getting back up but there are refreshment stops every so often if you need a rest. Nyoman took pictures for us and helped carry my bags. He also made some stops to a woodcarving factory, a silversmith, a gallery and a coffee plantation where you learn about the coffee process. They also have tha Bali swing there if you are bold enough. The buffet lunch (extra) was ok but the best part was the views over the rice fields....it was stunning. The Temple is massive. We had another guide who took us around and explained everything. He also took plenty of photos for us for a little extra money . The water gardens were so beautiful and felt very peaceful. We got fish food to feed the fish.....these are well fed fish as some of them are absolutely huge. It's a long day but well worth it. If you get the same driver we had it will be perfect.

Go with the flow! - Ketut was a great guide and my partner and I had a great time! We visited the Tukad Cepung waterfall and Besakih and Tirta Gangga temples with a coffee farm tour in-between. Ketut was friendly and was able to give advice, adjust our schedule, and take us home early as we requested. Lunch felt a bit touristy but the food was ok and I was able to try fresh snake fruit so I can't complain. Overall a wonderful way to see the sights we wanted to see! If you want to skip or add something I'm sure they can accommodate you.

Informative and Insightful East Bali Tour with Nyoman - Nyoman was an excellent guide on our East Bali Tour. He was very knowledgeable about the historical significance of each place we visited. He also provided helpful tips for dealing with vendors seeking out tourists. During our walk to Tukad Cepung waterfall, Nyoman pointed out the various fruits growing along our path, adding an extra layer of interest to our journey. Highly recommend Nyoman for anyone looking for an insightful and enjoyable tour of East Bali!

A very nice trip with a very nice guide - We had a great day accompanied by Nyoman who was adorable and gave us lots of interesting informations, he introduced us to mangosteen, a delicious fruit... in short, he was great. Seminyak Tour Driver also top : there was a little misunderstanding between us, them and the booking platform, STD sorted it all out in a very commercial way... thank you again. As for the circuit, the Tukad Cepang waterfalls and the Besaki temple are absolutely incredible sites. The Lempuyang temple is remarkable but somewhat spoiled by the obsession with taking THE Instagram photo. It is not even possible to approach the doors to appreciate the view, but still worth seeing.

Beautiful Tour + Terrific Guide! - My wife and I took our tour with Nyoman in early April 2024. It stormed all night but the weather turned right in time for our 8:00am hotel pick-up. We started off at Tukad Cepung. This was easily the highlight of any tour we went on during our time in Indonesia. By doing Tukad Cepung first [arrived around 9:15-9:30am], we were the *only* people at the waterfall and fully got to explore + take photos + peacefully hang out in a beautiful area. It's rare to have that type of privacy on a Bali tour, it was very special. The coffee plantation and especially Besakih Temple were a treat as well. We opted to turn around at this time [a bit daunted by the alleged long lines at Lempuyang] and the trip was still seven hours [8:00am pick-up and 3:00pm drop-off] from Sanur. Terrific time, Nyoman was informative + friendly + a very calming presence the whole day!

Amazing! - So glad I picked this specific tour out of all the options. Norman gave us a heads up that the drive to Tirta and Lampuyen would be far and the wait would be long for just a picture(personally not my thing so I asked him if we could fill it in with other things instead, he was more than willing and even added some bonus stops. he knew what order to go in to avoid the crowds.) Loved our day trip it kept getting better with every stop! Basakeh Temple cannot be missed! Beyond Grateful for Norman and this special day!

Amazing day trip to see temples and waterfall! - Nyoman was our amazing driver and guide for the day! He picked us up on time, shared cultural information about Bali during the whole drive, stopped at amazing spots for us to take photos and even took us to a coffee tasting plantation site (which was not in the itinerary)! Everything about this trip is amazing to see - definitely worth your day! But kudos to our driver who made it more fun for us and loved East of Bali even more!

Willingness to serve got my respect. - Driver and guide are super polite, except we cannot understand thier english.
But they very willing to wait extra hours for photo taking at Heaven Garden with you. And this kind of willingness got my respect. 😁

Saves you $ but that’s about it. - Not sure if the frequent guides were off on holiday but we had Mr. Gusti as our tour guide/tour operator. It was really akward for the whole duration of the trip as he didn’t speak much English even though the tour is advertised with an English speaking guide. We tried to keep small talk and used our translator app for multiple attempts but it was difficult.
Previous guides on Viator is Bali provided so much information about the local culture and history of origins of temples but we did not receive any information and relied on the internet.
In the itinerary it was indicated we would visit Tirta Gangga and he was alarmed when I brought that up and had to phone his boss to confirm that was on the itinerary which was very strange. The description also indicated that drinks would be provided and he made an attempt at the very end of the tour to scramble some water for us.
I had my end point mixed up with a previous booking to which I had to pay an additional 400k in the end which it seems like that boss Putu Martika was all the they cared about within the messages.
This tour would save you $ instead of relying on your own transport and playing entrance fees.
