“Great day! - We enjoyed this service so much we booked it again. This time O made a mistake and booked the wrong date. The company sent a text confirming for the next day. When we contacted them letting them know we made a mistake they were able to quickly and efficiently make our day happen. It was a magical day of temples and stories with tips and advice when requested. We were at Uluwatu at the end of the day and our amazing tour guide Gung helped us to not get robbed by the monkeys. We watched other tourists have their phone and glasses stolen and destroyed: Gung knew all of the areas of Bali and had so much to share with us! He took Instagram-worthy photos and was always offering us things such as water or anything else we may need. We were so lucky to tour with Gung. We would without a doubt recommend him.” - Reviewed on 2025-01-09
