“12/10 book NOW!! - For someone who is not a guide person, this was the absolute best day of our entire trip!! Wayan, our guide, was so informative, personable, kind, and the best photographer!! He truly made this experience the best to where we booked another trip with him the next day. The waterfalls he brought us to were breathtaking and not that crowded. We learned more in one day about the Balinese culture than we did the entirety of the trip. 10/10 book this NOW!”
