Awesome experience with a great guide - Absolutely lived this tour!!! We got to see how the Batik, silver and wood carving is made. I really wanted some wooden carvings, and you could see these being made staff were friendly and accompdating. They had a large range. The items are more expensive that the markets but are better quality. Sugara was awesome as always.

Would Recommend - It was educational to see how the different wood carvings and jewelry and fabrics were crafted. Our guide Gusde made the whole experience more enjoyable with his knowledge, sense of humor and flexibility. We would recommend this to any folks traveling in to Bali.

Bali life experience - Our tour guide Sugara was a friendly and knowledgeable guy who spoke good english. He welcomed questions and was able to provide a wealth of information about the attractions as well as Bali town, history and politics. He would always arrive timely, then give us information on our itinerary. During this tour we learnt a lot about some local bali crafts. There was no hard selling but they will tell u that it's morning price. We added a gallery tour into the itinerary, which was really interesting. The Ubud market is soon to be moved to its indoor renovated location, which I feel is a shame, to lose a touch of its market feel. I guess prices will always increase afterwards.
