Enjoying a true Balinese experience - It was a very memorable day. We felt so honoured to join Wayan and his family today. It was extra special to have been allowed to be part of his wife Balinese birthday ceremony. We also enjoyed the music, dance and the wonderful food. We really got to experience the true Balinese lifestyle and felt welcomed by everyone involved in making this a memorable experience for us. We will definitely be recommending this to family and friends and will be sharing everything we have learnt about the culture. Thank you Wayan and family!!

Truly local traditional experience - We really loved this experience. We felt very welcomed into the family, the traditional food, the musical instruments, the dance, and a casual walk around the area, what incredible views, the temple and great timing for an upcoming festival meant there was so much we saw! Couldn't recommend Wayan enough, and this was our second amazing experience with forever vacations! This will be a highlight for us, very different to traditional tours, very quiet, and very intimate experience.
