We’ll, what to say… Unfortunately we can not agree to all the 5 star reviews here because an intentional thing why we have decided to book exactly this tour was missing - a Guide who make this tour to an experience filled with information to the sights we have visited. We already had a tour in Ubud that has been sold to us as a guided tour but was a overpaid driver that just drove us from sight to sight. In the reviews here we read that this tour was especially operated by a guide. That‘s why we have decided to pay more money to get this extra service. What we got was a driver barely speaking and barely speaking English. Don’t get me wrong, he was very polite and very kind and he stayed calm when we became a bit frustrated about the situation and he offered extra ideas what to visit instead because what also happened was that this tour was offered as a 10 hours full day trip. After not even 4 hours we have been through the program because we decided not to wait 3 hours at heaven gate for one picture in the gate and we decided not to lay on the beach with cloudy weather and slightly drizzling rain. At the end it was a nice day because Putu took us to a local market because I wanted to shop fabrics and afterwards he showed us the Ujung Water Palace, what we would very recommend to see, absolutely nice place and not overcrowded by tourist. For over 2 Mio. Rupiah I expect some more pow pow and wow and not someone who spontaneously jumped in as driver. It would have been ok for us if the organizer would have asked us for another date to conduct this tour by himself. So it was a semi cool experience for us and for Putu.
