Overview of your Bali tour

This tour is designed just for you to learn about the history, the traditional dance, culture, agriculture, art, and the architecture of Bali. We will visit Batubulan village to watch the magical Barong dance, it is said that when many people got sick and died in the village, we had to perform this dance in the middle of the night to get rid of the black magic. I will tell you stories and lead you through the past as we visit major historical temples like the Goa Gajah, built in the year 1094, with a T shape cave where we can go in, a temple that used to be a place for two Hindu sects: Hindu Siwa Pasupata and Hindu Siwa Siddhanta, and for Buddhists to pray side by side, and also visit Penglipuran, which is one of the most placid, clean villages on the whole island, also one of the three cleanest in the whole world. Being untouched by modernization (you can't even park your vehicles inside) You'll leave with fascinating, comprehensive knowledge of Bali history and heritage!

Mully was a FANTASTIC guide. He knows his island extremely well. He is passionate about sharing it's beauty, culture, history and experiences. He was able to answer every question we had. We felt like we got the best tour possible in one day of so many beautiful sites....waterfalls, monkey preserve, temples, and rice terraces. We highly recommend Mully if you are booking a private tour in Bali.

We had a wonderful tour of Bali with our really excellent tour guide Mully. His English is perfect and his driving is even better - especially in light of the crazy traffic in Bali. He was extremely accommodating, stopping the car whenever we wanted to take pictures. We covered all our itinerary and we also went a bit off the beaten path to get an up close and personal look at the rice fields. He also took us to a restaurant for lunch with wonderful views (too bad it was raining) and a nice buffet.

Mully was able to deliver exactly what we wanted for an outing to the Gunung Batur volcano and area. He was very knowledgeable with various subjects, and extremely accommodating to the needs of our 7-month baby who doesn't do well on long car rides, and myself who was recovering from food poisoning!

We had a 3 day customised tour with Mully, he was fully flexible with the timetable and changed the itinerary for 1 day to suit our needs better. He took the weather into account making sure we got the most out of our trip. Mully is very proficient at taking photos, we wouldn't hesitate recommending him to take those precious family photo memories, even getting you to different locations to do that. The restaurants we ate at were very reputable. We would definitely book Mully again on our next trip.

Mully is a STAR! A very nice human being with loads of knowledge about Indonesia primarily! I am short of words to describe him as a tour guide and as a person. We enjoyed every moment travelling with him. My 2 year old kid still asks about his Mully Uncle even after the tour is over. To all the readers reading this, one must book with Mully for indonesia tour and you won't regret at all. A big thanks to Mully for the Bali Memories :)
