Worth it if you want to see a little bit of everything Bali has to offer - Great tour to see a little bit of everything that Bali can offer to you. From seeing temples, to natural scenery with rice paddies, and monkeys, this tour was very satisfying overall My guide for the day was Darma. He did an excellent job showing me around the sites, as well as providing me with history on the sites. He also kept good company during the drives and we even got to compare the similarities of black rice pudding to pina colada! Overall would recommend this tour if it is your first time to Bali, are located at the southern part of the island, and want to get a good taste of what Bali has to offer!
