We hired Authentic Lombok for two day tours on March 2015. They are right about not being the typical tour agent. They maintain their reputation to let you enjoy and explore the unspoiled places in Lombok. We went snorkelling at Pink Beach (tour# 6) and enjoyed the company of Yova, Chris and Adi. We had good laugh with Adi when he let us drive his boat; Adi also kept us safe and showed the excellent spot for snorkelling. We had delicious grilled fish for lunch and Adi even prepared fresh coconut for drinks. The following day, we went to Sendang Gile waterfall and had another great time with Chris. Other than tours, they have offered us to use their bicycle during our stay and genuinely wanted us to maximise our exposure in Lombok. On our departure from Lombok we had travelling issue that we could not fix. Yova and Chris helped us quickly and for that WE CANNOT THANK THEM ENOUGH :)

Overall, the Authentic Lombok is not just a regular private tour. They made us feel like visiting old mates and will ensure you have the BEST TIME in Lombok.

I intialilly emailed Chris before leaving Australia, he responded promptly and full of information and tips regarding Lombok.

We arranged a airport transfer to our hotel and were greeted by the amazing Monica. She had arranged snacks for my daughter and we stopped for street food. Monica is an amazing and knowledgable woman.

We did two tours with Monica, the Pink beach tour (our favourite) what a great day, amazing snorkelling and our own private island for lunch - AMAZING. Be aware it is a bit of a trek in the car but it is worth it.

Our second tour was the Gilis (all three). Monica did everything imaganible to make our stay memorable from checking the weather to swimming and laughing with us. Thank you so much Monica, you have left us with amazing memories of Lombok. We are delighted that you were able experience these amazing places with us. Best tour guide ever!!!!

We travelled to Lombok n Gilli in the last week of March and had hired the services of Chris n Monica. We trekked to the waterfalls Sedong gile and tiu kelep with my kids and it was a great effort by the local guide and Monica. We were happy and satisfied with the services. Would certainly recommend them. :)

We spent two days in Lombok last February. We decided to hire Chris from Authentic Lombok. He prepared a program designed for us. The tour was very interesting and it was what we expected. Chris is an excellent guide; he knows his work and he has very good advices. Do not hesitate to follow them. He can organize everything even the boat crossing from Bali. Just contact him. If we go back to Lombok, we won’t hesitate to call him.
