It was a very comprehensive tour and we had so much fun and learned a lot about Balinese culture and history.Unfortunately, the Monkey Sanctuary was closed due to yesterday’s tragic tree fall during rainy season - sincerely hoping everyone that was injured is okay xx However, we were able to do the rest of our tour! We started out at the UC Gold and Silver store and saw all the beautiful handiwork - quite expensive but rightfully so. We then visited a batik painting/weaving workshop where the process was explained to us. There was a gorgeous gallery and shop of handmade batik wonders! This was followed by a similar experience at a local wood carving shop.Bagus then took us to a restaurant in Ubud - Semar Kuning Resto - which was a wonderful recommendation with great local dishes for a relatively affordable price (approx AU$10 each for our main dishes which were huge portions). Earlier in the day, he had told us about luwak coffee, and after lunch he took us to Satria Luwak Coffee where we learned about the creation process and got to enjoy a complimentary tea and coffee tasting :)He then took us to the elephant cave temple and taught us about Balinese prayers and ceremonies. (Btw he made it very clear though we did already know: the elephant cave does not have elephants). He took us inside the cave for a bit and showed us where people used to meditate as well.Lastly, we visited the Tegalalang Rice Terraces, which was high up on our list, and it did not disappoint! We got really lucky with the timing of the rain just as we got out of the nest and took pictures! Bagus also took a really cute instagram video for us that we didn’t even think of!I’ll preface by saying we got the all inclusive package but without the lunch and rice terrace swing, because we weren’t too fussed about the swing and ended up paying for a random lunch which we loved!Overall, Bagus was an amazing driver and we would definitely tour with him again! Highly recommend! He was a bit nervous about his English, but he had no reason to be - he knew plenty and communication was easy and fun. Very nice and knowledgeable tour driver who made the whole experience so comfortable and engaging.In short: Bagus was the best!

Komang was an awesome tour guide and driver. He took us to all the notable highlights in Ubud no matter the location or time and how tired we were. Our experience was indeed all inclusive. From visiting the rice fields, to the waterfall, learning about the temple, and participating on the swing and in the monkey forest plus others too numerous to remember—such an unforgettable experience and adventure. Let’s not forget Komang’s knowledge about his culture and his English was good. We couldn’t ask for a better tour guide. Thanks for your high level of service Komang!

Berata provides an excellent service. He is extremely knowledgeable and his recommendations of food, activities and attractions is fantastic. Our family loved the tour. Highly recommend.
