Great day, highly recommend! - Suli was great! Picked us up on time and couldn’t have been more helpful throughout the day. We had a fantastic day, covered everything on the itinerary and more. Took plenty of photos throught the day, and always knew the best photo spots. Suli was very knowledgeable about the island and culture, and answered all our questions. It was a pleasure to spend our day with Suli and he even arranged a small present for us when he found out it was our honeymoon!

An Unforgettable Bali Experience with Pak Suli - Pak Suli is the best tour guide ever! He is friendly, funny, informative, and has good photo-taking skills. Pak Suli took us to a few places that were not on the itinerary. He captured so many beautiful pictures during the trip. I can’t express how much I appreciate his hospitality throughout the day trip. This was the best day of my whole Bali trip. Having an amazing tour guide will make your trip more enjoyable on another level. If we ever come back to Bali again, we will definitely book a private tour with Pak Suli.
