A wonderful one of a kind exclusive experience - Koman has been an incredible guide. He has shown us the most amazing spots and has been the nicest, easy going and friendly guide. He has catered an wonderful day for us according to our requests and he knows so much about all the places we have been to. This was a once in a lifetime experience truly. One of us has a disability and Koman has been very thoughtful the whole time. We have had the best experience. I cannot recommend more.

Thank you Dewa for a wonderful day - We are so happy we chose the Ubud Daily Trips custom half-day tour. We wanted to make the most of a single day in the area so the ability to choose from a list of varied destinations was perfect. We asked for recommendations that would not be too crowded and the suggestions were all excellent. Best of all, our guide Dewa was excellent company and his friendly commentary was truly enlightening. We learnt so much about the Balinese way of life and had a wonderful day. Thank you so much!

Insightful and Seamless Ubud Tour with a Fantastic Guide - We had a fantastic day touring Ubud with Viator, and our guide, Koman, truly made the experience special. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of Bali, but also explained everything in a clear and engaging way. Koman was friendly, professional, and always happy to answer our questions. He made the whole day feel relaxed, smooth, and well-organized. We learned so much and felt truly immersed in the local culture. I would highly recommend this tour—and especially Koman—to anyone visiting Bali!

Fantastic guide, great tour - We took a full-day tour with Koman who made it one of the best days of our trip. He was great as a guide of the sights we visited, but he was also an excellent cultural ambassador for Bali and a warm and fun guy to spend the day with. We visited the Tegallalang Rice Terraces, the Tirta Empul Temple where we partook in the water purification ritual, two lovely waterfalls and a typical Balinese country home where we learned all kinds of interesting things about life in Bali. That was all great and Komen was an excellent guide through those experiences, but throughout the day we also thoroughly enjoyed talking with him about so many aspects of Bali including culture, language, food, family and even traditional clothing. I highly recommend him as someone to spend enjoyable time with and learn a lot from.

Unforgettable experience with agung - Unforgettable day with Agung Rai for me and my friend- Private tour for the 2 of us for an 8 hour packed trip. Started the day with a prompt arrival at meeting point suggested. Greeted with open arms and a warm smile and friendly chatter throughout the journey. Agung had brilliant English and friendly chatter throughout, any questions / queries were always answered throughout. Our first stop was the Grudgugang waterfall, which was a secluded and beautiful area. Followed by Goa Raja waterfall where Agung kindly took many photos throughout. Next, we stopped at the coffee plantation and had a fabulous tour and education regarding the process of making the coffee and tea (we even had free coffee and tea to try!). We then were kindly dropped off at a local restaurant for food, great service. Moreover, we then headed to the temple and were blessed with holy water and sarongs. We had many photos throughout and our belongings were safe with Agung at all times (very trusting). Lastly, we attended the rice terrace and went on the zip line, the scenery was amazing! We were told additional information from Agung regarding the process of rice farming (very informative). At no point was this trip rushed, was allowed to go at our pace. Finally to top of this amazing day Agung dropped us to our accommodation at the end! Though-out the trip, he took several great photos for us to remember this by. We are eternally grateful for this amazing and unforgettable trip we enjoyed so so much. Thank you Agung!

Highly Recommended Unforgettable Day on Private Tour with Koman!! - We had so much fun exploring the areas around Ubud with Koman. One of the best days on our trip. Koman is an amazing (licensed) guide, chock full of information and insight and so happy sharing his culture and traditions. His English is perfect and he made us so comfortable. Together we created a wonderful mix of cultural and natural highlights including Tirta Empul and experiencing the water purification ritual with his guidance and expert photography skills, two serene waterfalls, Goa Raja and Grundugang, the stunning Tegallang Rice Terrace, and a visit to a traditional Balinese home where we learned about family life and enjoyed a local coffee and tea tasting. Koman made every stop come to life and much more meaningful than seeing it on our own. He was a great driver and let us move at each stop at our own pace. Along with guidance, information and a warm smile, sarongs and water were provided to make us even more comfortable. If you are looking for something personalized, authentic and memorable with a guide you want to spend the day with, I highly recommend you book a tour day with Koman as your guide!! Suksma, Koman.

Great day! - Putu our guide was great! We opted for the half day tour and it was fully customisable which was the appeal for us. Bear in mind you will have to pay for the entrance fee to all the spots you visit. For example, zip line, Ubud swing, waterfall entrance. And this can all add up. So for the tour you are just paying for the vehicle and someone to drive you around. Despite this I would still definitely recommend booking this tour.

Koman Is Excellent - We had a customized tour with Koman and found him to be incredibly knowledgable and kind. We asked for a tour that included Pura Goa Gajah and Pura Kawan/ Pura Gunung Kawi. Koman was an ideal tour guide and answered all our questions whilst providing us with fascinating extra information. He drove safely and didn't pressurise us into visiting souvenir shops or stalls along the way (as some guides sometimes do). The result was a relaxed, interesting and informative tour that has ben the best tour we have ever done in Bali. We highly recommend his services.
