I would give this tour 10 stars if possible. Wayan Susana is a fantastic guide. He took us to the local market where we tasted regional fruits. Then we hiked to the Gitgit waterfall. The hike as longish, going through beautiful forest. The waterfall was worth every step! Then we want to a temple. Outside, on the sidewalk was a traditional offering. Wayan explained how it was made and what each part signifies. The temple has a large garden area. We loved this tour because it was mostly outdoors, and because Waylan really took time to make sure we enjoyed every bit of it. If you're headed to Bali, be sure to book a tour with Waylan!

We spent three days in Bali with Wayan as our guide. He's an exceptional tour guide and a wonderful person. His knowledge of the cultural of Bali truly enhanced our visit. He gets our highest recommendation.

The 4 of us had a fantastic day in Bali at the hands of I Wayan. He adapted easily to our specific requests of things to see and guided us to the best possible places to meet our requests. He is full of knowledge of Bali culture and openly shares personal knowledge and experiences. His car was very comfy and he came with cold water and neck towels. He is a safe driver and an excellent photographer! He made our day memorable. Would give more stars if I could!! Thanks again.

Another amazing tour from Wayan. We had him in January and this one was a bonus. The weather was shocking but Wayan braved the rain to go out walking on the rice terraces anyway with my son and several umbrellas. I would always book Wayan when I'm in Bali. Definitely the best tour guide!!
