Raj was my driver. He was the absolutely best driver in the world. He took me to the jet ski and to a fabulous Spa. He gave me information about the island of Bali and the culture of the people and we were able to share wonderful conversations throughout our hour and a half journey Both two and from Ubud. I could not have asked for a better day. And I have to credit Raj because he made my day better than perfect! Thank you.
We were picked up by Putu Bandung and had a very nice ride to raft. Putu and the rest of the team are very friendly and accommodating. We even had 2 guides who did the rafting with us and so could enjoy the pristine jungle in its entirety without paddling. The river has some rapids and 2 exits with about 3m so fun was guaranteed. All for 30€ per person including food, shower and towels makes this offer unbeatable.
We had a great day out with our tour guide Ketut Putra on the Best of Uluwatu sunset tour, Kecak dance and Dinner in Jimbaran experience. He was very knowledgeable about the island. He gave us instructions and helped us every step of the way. Very professional.
We had an amazing day on the best of Uluwatu Sunset Tour, Kecak Dance and Dinner in Jimbaran. Our driver Ketut Putra was fantastic, was friendly and knowledgeable from the start, guided us throughout the tour, took photos for us , made sure we had seats and water for the dance. Thank you so much for a wonderful day Ketut,
The trip with ketut aldo was so great
The lifting made it very safe to drive, and the experience in Uluwatu was very good. It was a cruise to this tour. The meal was served in Zimbabwe and was very satisfied.
Thank you again to Aldo for helping us drive safely and guiding us.
We had a wonderful day being driven to Blue Lagoon for snorkeling with the sea turtles, array of colourful fish and sting rays!! Totally recommend this adventure. All the guys are super friendly and kind. We felt very safe and well looked after. Thank you🙏
Had an amazing time rafting! The experience was well organized and so much fun from start to finish. Special mention to our driver, Gusti Eka, he was fantastic — on time, friendly, and super helpful throughout the day. Highly recommend this experience and driver!
We had some issues in the ticket counter but our driver managed to help us get through it. It was a wonderful of him to take up the hassle in helping us solve the problem.
It was a really fun canyoning experience. It took about two hours, but the time flew by and I wished it was longer.
The staff’s smiles and hospitality were fantastic. They’ll share the photos and movies they took with their GoPro on Google Drive for a fee, so leave the photography to them.
Fantastic family day out – great driver Gusti eka – the guides were very professional. Safe and fun for the whole family. Would recommend and would do again.
