Great experience! - I had a really great experience with this booking. I was collected at the arranged time and place - communication was excellent.
My guide for the morning - Putu - was truly lovely, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. He took care of everything (entry ticket, locker, offering etc).
While I was in the purification water going through the ritual, Putu took photos (some really great ones!) which was amazing.
I would highly recommend this experience with this operator. It’s one of the best things I’ve done in Ubud :)

A transformative experience thanks to Koman! - We had an incredible experience with Koman. He as so knowledgeable and walked us through every step of the water purification ritual, its background, and its meaning. He answered all of our questions thoughtfully and also took incredible pictures for us throughout! After the ritual he gave us a wonderful tour of the temple grounds and gave us a lot of insight into Balinese culture. This experience was a highlight of our whole trip. Thank you Koman!!

Exceptional guide with a beautiful spirit - Myself and my fiancé Sankofa had the absolute honor of having Dewa as our guide to the water purification ceremony at Tirta Empul. Which made our experience there an absolute blessing and transformative experience.
Dewa was extremely kind, knowledgeable, friendly, shared with us exactly how to go through each fountain, took amazing pictures and video for us, allowed us to take our time at the temple and even took us to one of his favorite coffee plantation places on our way back to our drop off location. We will definitely call upon him again for other tours. I would absolutely without a doubt recommend him

Koman is very detailed in... - Koman is very detailed in his explanation for the entire process of the purification ceremony. And as I was traveling solo, he helped me to take excellent photos and videos for my memories.
An overall interesting experience. At the end, you kinda feel “zen” and relaxed

Highly recommend! - We had an incredible experience visiting Pura Tirta Empul with Koman as our guide and driver. He was absolutely amazing—extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Balinese culture.
Koman explained the purification ritual and its significance step by step, making sure my husband and I fully understood each part before participating. He ensured we followed the proper customs and did everything the correct way, including providing sarongs so we were appropriately covered.
He also took amazing photos and videos for us, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience.
On top of that, he was incredibly patient and helpful when my husband misplaced his locker key, handling the situation calmly and professionally.
Koman was also a great conversationalist, making the drive enjoyable and engaging. We felt truly well taken care of from start to finish and highly recommend Koman for anyone looking for an authentic and memorable experience in Bali.
