Amazing guide and tour . Can not miss visiting all these amazing places if you are in Bali. - This tour was simply amazing ! Our driver Wayan was so nice and lovely, he took us to all the different spots that were part of the tour and waited for us patiently while we were visiting the locations. He took us to a beautiful place for lunch and before going to the first spot of our tour he took us to a bee and coffee farm where we got to taste so many different types of teas and coffees. Such a wonderful experience . In the Tenganan ancient village we got a guide who showed us around the village and shared with us their history and traditions , he even invited us to his house to met his family . We then travelled to Tirta Gangga and lempuyang temple . On the way Wayan stopped Inma few beautiful spots to let us take amazing panoramic photos . We finished the trip at the beautiful virgin beach , which you simply can not miss to visit . I highly recommend Wayan as the best guide for this tour , he is a really good driver and we he just made us feel so relaxed and comfortable during the whole trip .

Motorbike tour - Wayan is the most wonderful, considerate tour guide and driver. He has good English and is very knowledgeable about the area as well as Balinese culture and customs. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

Solo female Travler-East Bali - Very well organised from first contact. This was my first solo trip and felt so comfortable with Wayan that I organised another day with him around East Bali. First day trip was to the Rice fields Ubud, Second day was around East Bali, absolutely loved the waterhole we went to (only locals really go there) and it was beautiful Ive added some pics of this place for you to ask Wayan if interested. Will definitaly book with him again such a lovely with loads of knowledge but most of all I felt so safe 😊

Real Bali Tour - Anom and Wayan are very safe drivers. We had three very interesting tours. Two with Anom in the East of Bali and one tour with Wayan. It was a pleasure to drive with both. They are very kind. Thank you very much Anom and Wayan. I can recommend them in any way.

Excellent reliable service to wonderful places - Wayan runs a professional service for tourists, Krisna Bali Transport & is a top bloke. He looks after his clients making sure they are safe on the road and when walking through the bush & ricefields. We have travelled extensively with him on numerous ocassions & thoroughly recommend him. He will take you to the great sights of East Bali & tours elsewhere on the island.

Had a great time! - Driver Wayan was personable, knowledgeable and very flexible. He took the time to cater to our needs. Would definitely recommend the company. We spent 12 hours together and he made it fun and the time just flew. He was also able to provide insight on other highlights/ info for our trip. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because I felt unprepared re: how much cash to bring for entrance fees and at one point I did not have the correct shoes for an activity. Wayan was able to front us the money however and we paid him back at the end of the tour. But would definitely recommend providing all the little details at time of booking.

For what we got way overpriced - We’ll, what to say… Unfortunately we can not agree to all the 5 star reviews here because an intentional thing why we have decided to book exactly this tour was missing - a Guide who make this tour to an experience filled with information to the sights we have visited. We already had a tour in Ubud that has been sold to us as a guided tour but was a overpaid driver that just drove us from sight to sight. In the reviews here we read that this tour was especially operated by a guide. That‘s why we have decided to pay more money to get this extra service. What we got was a driver barely speaking and barely speaking English. Don’t get me wrong, he was very polite and very kind and he stayed calm when we became a bit frustrated about the situation and he offered extra ideas what to visit instead because what also happened was that this tour was offered as a 10 hours full day trip. After not even 4 hours we have been through the program because we decided not to wait 3 hours at heaven gate for one picture in the gate and we decided not to lay on the beach with cloudy weather and slightly drizzling rain. At the end it was a nice day because Putu took us to a local market because I wanted to shop fabrics and afterwards he showed us the Ujung Water Palace, what we would very recommend to see, absolutely nice place and not overcrowded by tourist. For over 2 Mio. Rupiah I expect some more pow pow and wow and not someone who spontaneously jumped in as driver. It would have been ok for us if the organizer would have asked us for another date to conduct this tour by himself. So it was a semi cool experience for us and for Putu.
