Ketut was one of the best guides we have had anywhere. He explained the culture, the family structure, showed us what was interesting - what made “Bali” “Bali” - and was always ready to answer our questions - no matter the nature of our questions. He was also very patient with me, as I have walking limitations, and was most helpful with my husband who loves to shop. An added benefit was that his Son was our driver. His English was excellent, very easy to understand. You will have a wonderful Bali experience with Ketut!

Our guide Ketut did an excellent job tailoring the itinerary to our preferences. He knows this area well and speaks English perfectly. We had the most memorable experience and can recommend him without reservations. His tour left us wanting to return to Bali for a more on depth experience. We saw temples. The rice terraces. Had a delicious meal in a heavenly setting and were able to Prichard beautiful handicrafts of batik and wood

Ketut was an exceptional guide! We were so blessed to have him spend the day with us. He was courteous, prompt, so very accommodating of our wishes and oh so very knowledgeable of the history and culture of this magical land! I recommend him without reservation.

We were happy to share our experience on the Ubud tour on nov.30, 2018. We had a late flight out of Bali, and booked with Ketut A. Ketut accommodated our logistic, and loaded four of us and luggage (24" each) to pick up from the cruise port, touring Ubud, then dropped us to the airport, on time within the six hour time frame. Ketut is friendly, easygoing, pleasant, and fluent in English. He is knowledgeable in the Bali religion and cultures, and explained to the point. Suggest WhatsApp for contact.

Ketut is a good guide. We did the half day Heritage tour which included two temples and rice terraces. The temples were interesting but we did not find the rice terraces worth the drive. Next time we'll have Ketut show us some of the beautiful beach resorts.
