In safe hands with Putu! - We asked Putu to tailor us a tour which did not involve sitting in traffic for too long. (We had read a lot about that in reviews of tours) Staying in Nusa Dua that limited him to less options however, he came up with the perfect tour for us and took us to some areas where the locals go and visit too. We ended at Melasti beach for a Kecak dance show which was fantastic to see and watched the sunset there. Much less crowded than Uluwatu which we did enjoy. Do watch out for the monkeys there at the temple. It was moments like this that made us glad we were with Putu. We saw two pairs of glasses stolen and destroyed and a lady had the scrunchie from her pony tail ripped out of her hair ! They would have got a phone too if Putu did not warn another tourist. Asides from all the wonderful things we saw Putu went to great lengths to explain the Balinese way of life, religion and culture. His English is perfect. Car clean and safe and he provided us with lots of cold water to drink too. Thank you !

Visit of Ubud with Budi - We had an unforgettable day in Ubud with Budi as our guide. My wife and I were picked up from our hotel. Budi shared so much interesting information about the places we visited. We wanted to escape the usual tourist traps, and Budi knew exactly where to take us. We strolled through a peaceful monkey forest, visited the temple in his village, and indulged in some seriously tasty local dishes. We also got to explore a traditional Balinese home. Budi kept us entertained and informed all day, answering every quirky question we had about local life. It was an awesome day full of laughs and learning. If you’re heading to Bali, do yourself a favor and book a day with Budi. We will surely see him if we come to Bali again !

A great day out in Bali! - June Sophia picked us up from our hotel, she and our driver were on time and very polite and pleasant. we travelled first to the stunning views of the rice fields, a beautiful area with a host of activities available to enhance the experience. we did the swing but decided against the tandem cycle across the gorge.
great fun.
a tasting of a very unusual coffee and teas followed before a temple visit to a beautiful temple. we finished the trip with visits to the silver and art museums which were interesting but we chose not to purchase any and were not pressurised by the sales staff.
all in all an excellent day out in Bali.
the traffic is a combination of chaotic and terrifying but our driver drove sensibly throughout the tour. would certainly use June Sophia again on other tours in the region.

A very pleasant and informative tour - We had a great day on tour with Putu. He took us to some amazing places away from the main tourist stream which we very much appreciated. He's very knowledgeable and informative, professional and his English skills are really good. Would definitely recommend this tour to other visitors. Thanks for a lovely day.

Great day with Agung - Six of us took the Full Coverage Bali City Tour with Agung on 30 Nov 2023. He was on-time for pickup and was a treasure trove of information about local culture and history. Based on the booking, we only expected about a 5 hour tour. As it turns out, Agung took care of us for a little over 9 hours. We had a splendid day with Agung, and would encourage anyone to choose him as their guide.

Excellent Customer Service - We arrived on the Viking Mars and had less than a day in Bali and we wanted to see at least a little of the island. I'm so glad that we had Ketut to show us around! Our debarkation from the ship took a little longer than expected and Ketut waited for us. He basically customized our tour based on what the four of us wanted to see/experience. His communication was always prompt. Thanks for showing us around Bali, Ketut! We had a marvelous time!

A Scenic Journey Through Bali: Engaging Sights with Room for Connection - Tour Duration: 5 hours
Details:
1. Guide: Our guide was initially rather reticent, making it challenging to connect. However, as the tour progressed, he became more talkative and expertly guided us to all planned destinations. Despite the initial reservation, we felt well taken care of and were transported stress-free to all locations. ★★★☆☆
2. Sights: The tour encompassed several beautiful destinations, including rice terraces, a distant view of the volcano, Gunung Kawi Temple, a coffee plantation with coffee tasting, and woodworking. Each site had its charm, and we enjoyed the diversity of experiences. ★★★★☆
3. Transportation: The car was clean and well-maintained, contributing to the pleasant experience of the tour. ★★★★☆
4. Value for Money: The tour offered acceptable value for money, as we visited many unique places, even though meals and beverages were not included. ★★★☆☆
5. Safety: We felt safe throughout the entire tour, and it seemed that all necessary precautions were taken. ★★★★☆
6. Overall Impression: Overall, the tour was interesting and well-organized. The main area for improvement would be a more lively and engaged guide who could enliven the tour from the beginning. Nevertheless, the tour provided good value and introduced us to some of Bali’s most beautiful spots. ★★★★☆
Conclusion: For travelers looking for a compact and varied tour of Bali and who don’t have high expectations for the guide’s enthusiasm, this tour might be a good option. We enjoyed the experiences, even though we wished for a bit more excitement from the guide.
