MADE, you are a legend! - Our guide, Made, was an absolutely dream come true. The man was incredibly kind, friendly and knowledgeable. He picked us up from our hotel despite living 2 hours away and was the happiest person o the planet. So easy to get along with and very chatty, the 1.5 hour drive to the monkey sanctuary felt like 10 mins! After this a shirt trip to the rice fields which were stunning! Made was very knowledgeable about the whole process because his uncle farms one himself! After this, we went to the coffee plantation, again this was Made's father in law's plantation and we met his brother and sister in law who were incredibly friendly and had the cutest baby! They showed us all of the plants where they harvest the various ingredients for their delightful range of teas and coffees. I don't like hot drinks but tried them all because they were so friendly and ended up buy 3 packs of tea! We them went to lunch in a delightful restaurant serving some delicious food and then ventured to the temple. I asked many many question, some incredibly stupid but Made answered them all and was more than knowledgeable and happy to do so! Finally we went to a lovely little waterfall and cave to cool down and then head back home. Made made this entire trip with his friendliness, insightfulness and friendly nature. After he dropped us off I felt sorry for him on the 2 hour drive back as it was late and the traffic was heavy but, he didn't complain, a lovely message the next morning thanking us! Just sums the guy up! Made made our honeymoon!de, was an absolutely dream come true. The man was incredibly kind, friendly and knowledgeable.

A wonderful experience. - This was a fantastic day out. Our guide and driver, Santanu, was amazing, a very thoughtful and lovely guy. He contacted us prior to pick up and made us feel very welcome. He taught us a lot, not only about the places we visited, but also about local culture and everyday life in Bali. We would highly recommend him. The car he had was modern and comfortable, with very good a/c. The places we visited were a really good mix of what is available to see in Ubud. The first stop, to a coffee plantation was my favourite. The tour was informative and the tea and coffee tasting was excellent. The rice terraces and waterfalls were stunning and the Sacred Monkey Forest allowed us to get up close with a lot monkeys (which were very calm and largely indifferent to our presence). At the temple, having seen the cleansing ritual on a documentary, it was fascinating to see it for real. This tour was hugely enjoyable and very good value for money.

Wonderful Ubud tour - The driver / guide Nata is a fantastic driver / guide. He knows exactly what to do optimize the tour itinerary and avoid the traffic jam, despite the fact Bali is an island of traffic congestion. Nata suggested that we leave my hotel earler than planned at 7:30am rather than the scheduled 8:30am. He covered all the destinations on the itinerary plus a bonus destination of a woodcarving workshop, which turned our to be wonderful I had bad luck of getting my money scammed at the money exchange and a communication problem at my earlier tour, but this tour experience with Nata more than made up for the previous experiences. I truly enjoyed this tour. I recommend this tour to anyone and take the guides suggestion so that your tour goes smoothly.

My best day in Bali! - I was in Bali for two weeks- it was my first visit and hopefully not my last! The day I spent with Nyoman was probably the best and most memorable day I had. He was more than a driver- he was a very thoughtful host who took me to the sites I wanted to see and walked around with me giving me information. My visit was much richer and enjoyable with his company. His English was excellent and I felt safe traveling with him.
