          Disappointing visit
          Disappointed for waiting 3 hours at Temple of Heaven for 2 minutes snap and need to cancel two location visits . Virgin beach and waterfall . It should warned us earlier of long queue. Not worth the money spend .

          Excursion and company are a must
          Fire dance and temple visit are a must see attraction the story and the performance were breath taking and being there for a beautiful sunset made it all the better. Our guide Andi was amazing. Kind considerate. Very accommodating. Looked after us so well ensured we were safe and gave advice for the monkeys at the temple! Also providing us with local knowledge. would highly recommend this company

          Excellent transport in a difficult traffic environment
          With a 18 people yoga group we had 8 days of transfer in Bali with GBT Gede Bali Transport. From the arrival to the airport until the departure we had a perfect experience with this company. Transportation is very difficult these days in Bali due to the very heavy traffic and the narrow roads. In spite of these obstacles we were transferred everywhere we intended to go with our 35 pax tour bus. The bus was very clean every day. I especially want to say a big thank to Kadek Eka, who was our tour guide. Everything was very smooth with him from the communication to the luggage management. All the group loved Kadek very much, if we will visit Bali again we once again will go with GBT Gede Bali Transport and once again will ask Kadek to be our tour guide.

          Crowded and mostly Chanting - not a dance
          The view was beautiful but unfortunately I did not really enjoy the show. The dance was not what we expected. There was an extreme crowd that is not well managed. You had to wait for an hour in the crowd pushing and shoving you around. The dance itself was ok with a lot of chanting and very little dancing. I didn’t really enjoy it.

          Bali is overhyped!
          The Indonesian government and travel agencies have created a hyped up, world renowned tourist spot image of Bali, which is absolutely incorrect. The island is NOT worth visiting, read why. Pros: Very few; it is cheaper compared to other first world countries, the art and craft is great. Cons: The beaches aren't very clean, the heat and humidity is unbearable, no matter the season. The locals milk money out of the tourists in every possible way, and even a few of the beaches have an entry, which is weird. There are a few good temples which have a good location, but one day is enough to visit these 2-3 specific ones. Rest of the temples are mediocre with restricted entry. Traffic, air and noise pollution is high. There are very few picturesque spots on the island, and most of the remaining areas make you miss your home country. Disappointing. Save your money, explore some place else.

          Nice tour Lampuyang temple
          With this trip we could visit places without driving by ourself. The distances are not that long but the time you need to go from one place to another is long because of the traffic. Our driver Bayu was very gentle. Responsible in the driving. Making also a good suggestion where to eat.

          Holidays for five plus
          I had vacay with my children and it was really nice one. Hotel is not far away from airport and city center. I will be happy to come back here again. Food is great thanks to main chef. Entertaining was also on a high level. Especially kids entertainment. Thank to miss Sofia in hotel mini club. My children were happy to spend time with them. We went with her to delphinarium. And our trip was really good. Honey we couldn't say to you good buy but we can do it now. Wish you health and good luck in your job and of course thanksgiving guests. Lots of kisses .

          A private day tour of Bali with Murta
          A great tour of Bali. Our driver/guide was friendly and informative. Our 10 hour tour was a pleasure and we certainly wouldn't have seen the sights we saw without his guidance. We vsited a Silver Smith Workshop and a Painting of Bali Art Gallery in Batuan. We watched wood carvings being created and lunched at Kintamani volcano. We wore beautiful sanongs as we explored the Batuan Temple. We finished our day with a visit to the rice terraces, followed by tea and coffee tasting at a beautiful coffee plantation. Thank you so much Murta🙏

          The True East Bali Experience
          A fabulous and memorable day through East Bali, visiting the best tourist sites, but also local hidden gems and good eats, all thanks to our driver and tour guide: Abdi! Abdi is professional, funny, helpful, informative, an excellent driver, and above all, a kind and genuine East Bali local. Abdi was on time for our 7:00am pick up from Ubud. Followed by expert navigation to Kanto Lampo Waterfalls, where he showed off his excellent photography skills. Afterwards, we had a delicious seafood breakfast at a local spot by the seaside near Goa Lawah Temple, before moving on to the beautiful Lempuyang Temple - The Gates of Heaven. Abdi helped secure fast transport to the peak of Lempuyang and again offered the best shots of the views at the temple. Afterwards, we had a scenic tour of nearby Tirta Gangga Water Palace, again with tasteful photo direction from Abdi. Although it was rainy day, and some views were cloudy, Abdi kept our spirits high all throughout the tour with good music, fun jokes, and yummy snacks with kopi. We finished the day with an early dinner at the picturesque Virgin Beach, looking out across the sea towards Lombok Island. Abdi was very informative about local history, culture and customs, giving great insight to daily life in Bali. Fierce statues became gentle guardians, befuddling traffic became a well choreographed dance. We went into today, dreading cold feet and rain-ruined Instagram stories, but the warmth and generosity of Abdi and East Bali made us forget all our woes. Instead, we found a deeper appreciation of Balinese life and we leave with lifelong friends, experiences and memories. Suksma, Abdi!! Terima Kasih, East Bali!

          Bali in 2 Days
          My friend and I took this tour in the first week of September with Barong. We looked up a couple of places we wanted to see and we already divided them up, but Barong looked through our itinterary and helped us arrange it, also suggesting moving up the meeting time to beat traffic and arriving before anyone else, indeed making us in most places the first ones to get there. He was an amazing guide, giving us suggestions on what to see, where to eat and how to avoid tourists traps. He also brought us to an exquisite Coffee Farm (Hidden Garden) where we saw the Luwak closeup! Thanks Barong for making this trip amazing!

          Must-See Tourist Spot
          Such a kind and courteous driver! He brought us to the temple and offered options for us to stop along the way, so we tried a nearby coffee plantation. Then he brought us to dinner at Jimbaran Beach - delicious!

        Gate of Heaven. (Cennettin Kapısı).
        Balinese Hindu temple from the 8th century.
        Waited 5 hours for the pictures. Maybe a bit too touristy by now, but don't regret this. Because this is a large and exceptionally beautiful temple complex.

        We stayed in Kuta at 8am, First stop was the Virgin beach very beautiful, gold and black sand, you can just walk across or pay to sit on sun lounge, bony cost much, then off to what was called waterfall, but was more a water garden, don’t let this stop you it was amazing and the largest koi I have ever seen. We then stopped off and feed the monkeys, not part of the trip but our driver was really good, you can buy some bananas for them that was cool. Then off the Heavens gate, really amazing, however be warned, the queues are massive to have your photo taken (however these other great photo opportunities without having stand waiting), so recommend if set on having your photo taken leave at 3am and miss all those photo worshippers. Overall amazing day driver great, but long drive.

        Wife and I arrived at Temple around noon and told by staff that there was 3 hour wait in high temperature and humidity. I had my own camera but on arrival at temple found two sets of terraced seating crowded with people.
        They were waiting for a staff member seated in a plastic chair in front of 'gate' to take their photos and had plastic bucket at his feet where people were placing payments for this.
        Took my own photos of gate and moved on. Sadly area was full in 'influencers' who were getting photo for their profile and not living in the moment.
        Temple was closed during our visit; we were told there was ceremony but Balinese government clamping down on tourists accessing temples as I found when visiting other sites.
        Disappointing experience.

        it was fun! I think this trip covers all the essentials in the eastern part of Bali. We wanted something relaxing and peaceful and this was what we were looking for. The driver Desu was very kind and attentive to us and we really enjoyed the beautiful white sand beach at the end of the trip.

        This was such an amazing trip which also included Mother Temple. Our guide Sang Putu from GetYourGuide was a delight and told us of the history and walked up all the temple stairs with us. He also took our photos and sent them to us later on. The trip in includes lunch at LA Lereng Gunung which besides being delicious, was also spectacular overlooking the rice fields. Highly recommended. Ask for Putu he is a delight. Get their as early as you can. The queue to take your photo between the gates is 3-4 hours long however you can still take photos relatively close by.
