Amazing view and the kids were happy to be upclose with alpacas. we arent able to do donkey riding but its ok. the train ride and playground makes it up. The reception didnt inform us about our picnic so we had our lunch at The Barn (which was superb!). The other staff came to me during lunch just to inform that we can still have our picnic and all will be prepared for us after our lunch. tip top service!

It was a great trip, we didn’t had to worry about a thing! Gede, our driver and guide, was very patient and accommodating to our requests. Special mention that he was a very safe driver too! I think that the only downside was that the Tanah Lot was too far from the previous attractions and we ran into rush hour traffic and decided to drop this location. Perhaps the Handara Gate in place of the Tanah Lot would fit the itinerary better. Great day tour nonetheless. Definitely recommended!

incredible experience! clear organization. booked the day before, an hour later they contacted, clarified the meeting place and food preferences. the farm is modern, beautiful and well-kept. the food at brunch is sooooo delicious: sandwich, salad, potatoes, cake, juice and water. in the enclosure only you, the staff and the alpacas, no strangers nearby. the temple afterwards is one of the most beautiful in Bali. endless delight and gratitude!

Was an excellent day with our guide Made Suni. He is a very safe driver. When it started to rain he got us both umbrellas. He was lovely. Highly recommend him and the tour thank you

Ticket exchange was fast, but the queue was quite long because at that time there was only 1 counter and 1 staff on duty, it would be better if more counters were opened and more staff on duty to speed up the flow of entry
