"My wife and I spent our first day in Bali with Putu, touring outside the resort area and seeing more everyday Balinese life. He is a great talker and expert in all things Indonesian. He has a nice, comfortable car which is important in slow-moving Bali traffic. He is very flexible in meeting your needs and interests on the tour - for us it was a quick stop at a wine store. Very professional and fun. "

Excellent & enjoyable tour
"Budi is an excellent host and tour guide. He is polite and patient, informative and friendly. Our morning tour of Ubud was taken at the perfect pace. Budi generously shares his knowledge and experience of local culture and history throughout the tour. Highly recommended "
"June Sophia and her driver Timothy provided an outstanding tour of hidden gems in Denpasar. She is very knowledgable of local customs and sites. We were picked up and returned to our hotel; Timothy is an excellent and very safe driver. I highly recommend June Sophia; she is well worth the price. We will use her services again. "

An incredible guide!
"We had an absolutely fantastic experience with our guide! He is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also such a warm, kind, and genuinely lovely person. He showed us the city and its culture in a way that made everything come alive, sharing fascinating stories and insights that we would never have discovered on our own.
He truly gave his all during the entire day we spent together, making sure we felt comfortable, enjoyed every moment, and got the most out of our experience. His passion for the city, his kindness, and his enthusiasm made our day truly unforgettable.
He is an exceptional guide and an absolute must if you want to experience the city properly. We highly recommend him and would not hesitate to book him again. Don’t think twice—hire him!"
"We had a wonderful half-day on the Highlights and Hidden Gems of Denpasar tour with our guide, Reza. It was an excellent introduction to the history, culture and everyday life of Denpasar.
Reza was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. He shared fascinating insights throughout the tour, bringing each location to life. We visited the beautiful Jaganatha Temple (Pura Agung), the palace and museum, and the historic Inna Bali Hotel, where we learned about its colonial past and the visit by Charlie Chaplin.
One of the highlights for us was visiting the main indoor Pasar (market). Reza happily adapted the itinerary to include this, which we really appreciated. The market was full of colour and atmosphere, and the local people were so welcoming. We enjoyed buying spices and other Indonesian specialities so we can recreate some traditional dishes when we return home.
Throughout the afternoon we had many interesting conversations about Balinese culture, history, traditions and daily life, making the experience feel very personal as well as informative.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Reza and would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to discover both the famous sights and the hidden gems of Denpasar with a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide. Thank you, Reza, for making our visit such a memorable experience!"
"Budi was friendly, knowledgeable and able to show us some sights of Denpasar that we wouldn't have found easily on our own. He also tailored the tour to make sure we stopped for a great coffee at a local cafe, and also visited the market to buy fresh fruit and other ingredients that we could us later to make a meal back in our villa. We tried street food with his guidance around what it was (helpful when my partner has allergies) and took us via the local palace to the pet market (maybe skip this if you are concerned about what they might be selling).
Overall a great experience that I would recommend to someone wanting a local perspective while walking around the streets of Denpasar. "
"We loved our time with Budi. He explained both the nature and culture of Bali and we explored parts of Ubud we would not have found by ourselves. This was one of the highlights of our trip and recommend to anyone thinking of spending time with a local guide and a genuinely wonderful person."
"I Putu Merta is a really thoughtful, knowledgeable guide and our 3 hour walk around Denpasar was one of the absolute highlights of our Bali holiday. We can highly recommend this tour to visitors. We visited the Temple, Palace, markets and walked along small side streets and stopped for a very tasty snack."

Local Experience!
"Agung was great, flexible, and engaging! Met all of my expectations."
"Pity was a great tour guide. He took his time and spoke very good English. He insured that no corners were cut and we got the best out of our time. I will definitely be going back to Bali and will ensure that I hire him to do our next experience. My boyfriend and I enjoyed all the knowledge he had about not only the city, but the country and the history on . We highly recommend him."
