It was a memorable and fun experience with the jeep driver for Jeep Kaja 14, he is friendly and polite. He helped to take many quality and good-skilled photos, and when I requested somemore photos, he tried his hest to get the good shoot and they are really stunning! Although there was no sunset that day due to weather conditions, we had a happy journey with him. Not forgetting the hotel transfer driver Indra who sent us from hotel to mt batur to take jeep. He is helpful and friendly, we have a good and fun chat along the journey! Overall 5-star service and experience!

Very smooth ride from the meeting point at Mt. Batur to the return journey. Our driver, Agus, was professional and communicated clearly with all the passengers, even though we spoke different languages. He made sure everyone was well taken care of and properly briefed. Our guide, Hi, was also very encouraging and positive, keeping our spirits high all the way to the top. What a fun experience!

We had an incredible time on our Mount Batur tour – everything was perfectly organized from start to finish! Our day started early with a 4wd drive to Mount Batur, and it was absolutely worth it. Though it was cloudy, we still enjoy the ride and view. We explored the stunning black lava fields, right after. A huge shoutout to Ngurah, our driver for the sunrise and black lava portion of the tour. He was fantastic – very skilled behind the wheel, super friendly, and made the whole journey enjoyable with great music and his awesome photography skills. He took a lot of amazing photos for us, and we really appreciated his positive energy and clear communication throughout the trip. Later in the day, we headed to a beautiful cafe at Paperhills to unwind and enjoy the view. Our driver Suar took great care of us during this part of the tour, including hotel pickup and drop-off. He was warm, friendly, and professional, and made sure everything ran smoothly and on time. Highly recommend!!!

An extremely satisfying experience! We were fortunate to have Sakry as our female driver and guide. She was very friendly and attentive, like a friend on the journey. She took many beautiful photos for us and chatted with us throughout the rides, allowing us to learn a lot about Bali's unique culture. I will definitely look for her help again when I visit Bali next time, and I will recommend her to my friends. I would also like to thank Gede Rajeg, the jeep driver, for taking so many beautiful and dedicated photos of us on the volcano.

We booked through Klook as a couple and were impressed with the low price and smooth experience. Our cab driver, Mr. Yonki, was very professional, knowledgeable about all the spots, and assisted us throughout—from pickup, sunrise point, to the ATV ride. During the jeep trek to the mountain, we had excellent drivers. A special mention to Mr. Bidit, who not only guided us up the mountain but also captured amazing photos of us. Overall, the entire journey was wonderful and highly recommended!
