“We were scheduled to be picked up at 9am, but werent picked up until about 9:15am. There was a mix up with our pick-up location, and we werent called by the tour company until I emailed them in the morning. I would suggest providing the phone number of the driver before the tour is scheduled to start. Overall, our Temples and Rice Terraces Tour was great! Our Guide Wayan Berata was so kind and welcoming. He guided us in a different order than the viator tour lists. We saw the following in order: Coffee Plantation, Monkey Forrest, Lunch with the Rice Terrace View, Holy Water Temple, and Gunung Kawi Temple.…”

My driver and guide Goez was a great guide, spoke great English and made my first time experience to Bali a comfortable and interesting one.
