Reviews
It was a good experience, but Klook stated the meeting time was 11:30 AM, while the driver suggested we leave at 9:30 AM. Later, we found out there were many attractions to visit, so starting at 11:30 AM meant we missed some, which was a pity, like the market and art village. Therefore, Klook should coordinate with the local company because there's a discrepancy in the listed destinations. We started with three shopping stops, which I think included the art village. After lunch, we went to Monkey Forest in the afternoon, only to find out it was closing in ten minutes. Thankfully, the park didn't rush us out. The driver's control over the itinerary needs improvement. My child loved Monkey Forest that day, but a half-hour stop was too short. The Kecak dance was really good, and the local market at night was very affordable. I don't blame the driver, but I hope all the destinations listed on Klook can be fully visited with ample time.
Our guide / driver Adi was so friendly and nice to us (even with all the jam in the city). We even got to visit an additional kopi luwak stop that wasn't even on the itinerary. Highly recommend for a shopping day trip in the hustle and bustle of Ubud.
We didn't get to visit others due to rain. So sad but its okay, there will be a next time.
We have an enjoyable day. Monkey forest was the highlight of the day (most of the monkeys are well behaved) Stopped at a nice restaurant with great rice paddy field view. Shout out to our tour guide Nano, very friendly and knowledgeable, strongly recommended.
The tour operator was very informative and helpful during the tour. He answered any questions we had to the best of his ability and was very polite. Truly the tour operator made the tour better. The Bali Monkey Forest was the highlight of the trip. The shopping places are for individuals truly looking for an opportunity to take locally produced craft work home. The Kecak Fire Dance was very interesting and a great way to enjoy the culture in Bali. My wife and I would recommend taking this trip.
This was a phenomenal start to our adventures in Bali. Mangkok was out private guide, and he really amplified the experience of Bali. Not only did he take the time to explain the culture and works of each of the areas, he also showed us a more personal side of Bali. We got to meet many of the locals and see their day-to-day lives. We will be booking with him in the future.
We had an amazing time! As we were ahead of schedule at the beginning due to finishing the monkey forest quite fast, our driver also took us to the Lawak coffee place were we got to try all the different coffees and teas! The Lawak coffee was divine! Highlights were bartering with the locals at the art market and the amazing fire dance at the end of the night! Well worth it. So much fun. only one downside was our driver, although very very lovely and accommodating, could not speak much English. it was hard to communicate with him.
The guide contacted us on the morning itself and picked us up on time at the hotel. However, we didn't manage to go for all the sites as our kids being infected with Bali Belly along the way. The driver was kind enough to drop us at the clinic and called it a day.
Bagus is a great tour guide. he speaks great English and is very knowledgeable. the only problem is the traffic in Bali
Personally the highlight if this tour is going to the monkey forest and art village. My driver Adi tried to explain well each place we go to. He even suggested to go to coffee tasting and wood carving place. He also offers to take photos. Highly recommend!!!
