Bagus was excellent. We loved the bird park. Took some great videos. He was an excellent driver and picture taker.

Itinerary
Tanah Lot is one of the important directional temples in Bali. The temple is located on a rock just offshore. It is said to be the work of revered 15th century Hindu priest Nirartha and forms an important element of Balinese spiritualism and mythology.
The rock underneath the temple has a natural hole, hence the name (batu bolong literally means 'rock with hole').
Jatiluwih Rice Terraces is the bigest rice terraces in Bali, comprises over 700Ha of rice fields that follow the flowing hillside topography of the Batukaru mountain range.
the located west of Lake Bratan in Bedugul, Pura Ulun Danu Bratan is a 17th-century temple dedicated to the Hindu trinity of Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva.
Banyumala Waterfall is a beautiful waterfall and has 3 water drop formations. The biggest one is in the middle. The smaller ones are on the left and right. A natural pool is below it.
Wanagiri Twin Lake view is the best view point to watch both Buyan and Tamblingan lake. It's also a good place to watch sunset

We only had a short time in Bali, and this was a wonderful introduction to its unique culture and to a few of the most significant features of this island. Murdock was an excellent driver and he used our drive time between sights to inform us about Balinese customs that we would have been unaware of otherwise. By starting at 6am, we missed a lot of traffic on the road and at the two temples. Murdock took us to a charming coffee making business for our morning break, and we had a delicious lunch overlooking the rice terraces. At each stop, Murdock made sure to take plenty of photos for us. The entire day was very enjoyable and memorable.
Murdock was fun and engaging. He readily shared, cultural and personal family experiences and information, which made it a very memorable trip. Although the drive to get to these experiences where as long, the conversation made the time fly!
Long day but worth the ride Our tour guide did a great job getting us to each site and explaining in detail the points of interest
Our day started with a 6:00 a.m. pick-up from our hotel in Uluwatu. We were a group of two couples. Murdoch was there to greet us with a huge smile on his face and we knew the energy was going to be good for the rest of the day. His car was large and comfortable for all 4 of us. Our hotel packed us a breakfast and we started off making our way to the Tanah Lot Temple. Stunning! When we arrived at 7:30, we were the only car in the parking lot. We made our way down to the water's edge with the stunning view of the temple. We had our packed breakfast in the beautiful garden over-looking the water and temple and then walked down to the water. Luckily the tide was out and we could walk right up to the temple to have the "Holy Water" experience. From there, we continued to make our way north, stopping for a unique coffee experience. A must try when in Bali, drinking the Luwak coffee. Won't write about it here but look it up! Next stop a visit to the iconic Ulun Danu Beratan Temple (floating temple). Beautiful gardens and stunning scenery. After, off to the Banyumala waterfall for a swim. It is a hike in and out; however, you can catch a ride on the scooter for ~$2 cdn back up the hill. Finally, the highlight of the trip, Jatiluwih Rice terrace for lunch and then a walk around the terraces. It is BREATHTAKING! A perfect way to end the day before our long drive back to Uluwatu. It was a 13 hour day for us but we were all on cloud nine after the trip. We can't say enough great things about Murdoch. He was the perfect guide, giving us time on our own but also providing so much information about Bali as well as the places we were visiting. A day to remember.
I had an amazing day on this tour! My tour guide Bagus was excellent and so professional from pick up at my hotel to drop off taking care of all the admissions to sites and lunch, completely stress free for me. Every site we went to was breathtaking.
My family of four (two children in their 20s) did this tour on our second day in Bali to familiarize ourselves with the island. It was an action packed, informative and beautiful way to do so. Murdock our guide was absolutely charming from the moment we met him in our hotel lobby. He shared so much about his culture, his lovely family, his community and the places we visited. We truly feel that we have such a deep appreciation for the land. The trip is a long trip, almost 13 hours by the time we got back to the hotel. The traffic in Bali is a real thing but honestly we would not have changed a thing. The traffic gave us so much to talk about and Murdock used the time to answer every question we had. The trip itself took us from Nusa Dua the resort area to the north part of Bali. Along the way we stopped at gorgeous temples, coffee farm, UNESCO rice farms, lake look outs, and swam in an amazing waterfall. The amount of information you will learn cannot be beat. We all feel that there is no better way to get a sense of where you are visiting. Murdock is a fantastic guide and we would recommend him for your family to acclimate - not to mention he is a great photographer!
We had a great experience and enjoyed North Bali exploring twin waterfall and lakes. We also enjoyed herbal tea and coffee in coffee plantation. Thanks Dewa to guide us through the whole trip. Very recommended this tour.
Dewa drives well, he is very patient, and he took us where we wanted to go. Well mannered and respectful, I would 100% Recommend him
We had a stunning day learning about the rich history of north Bali. Bagus was an excellent guide and driver, very willing to answer questions and help us sharpen our Balinese 😁 Was also lovely to finish the trip with a swim under a waterfall. Cheers!
Putu Carmawan, tour organiser, showed us cultural sights in Balii and he was excellent, both in his range of knowledge about less visited areas as well as when and how to go in order to minimise traffic. Putu organised cooking classes for us, which were great value and a lot of fun, plus tours north and to Ubud. The car was great, Putu and his team, Adi and Komen speak excellent English and they will devote as much time as their customers need, without extra charges.
Great tour , lots of places discovered , stunning scenery. Our guide Bagus was fantastic, knowledgeable and helpful
Very nice day with a kindly and helpful guide and driver Safe driving, pleasent music, tasty lunch. Beutiful places. We will always rermember this day in Bali.
I had a fantastic time exploring Tanah Lot Temple with Gede Rio as my driver and guide. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about Bali’s culture and history. The car was clean, air-conditioned, and very comfortable, which made the journey even more enjoyable. Gede Rio was also very flexible — he let me take my time at every stop and even suggested a few hidden gems along the way. Watching the sunset at Tanah Lot was magical, and I’m so glad I had someone as reliable and kind as Rio to make the experience smooth and memorable. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a private driver in Bali! Terima kasih, Gede Rio! 🙏✨
“Such a cheerful soul! Always smiling, took stunning photos of us throughout the trip, and drove us around safely and comfortably. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Rio ! You are truly exceptional
We had another amazing experience with Rio as our guide and driver in Bali! Not only is he friendly, reliable, and super knowledgeable, but he also happens to be a fantastic photographer. He knew exactly where to go for the best views, hidden gems, and picture-perfect moments—and he helped us capture memories we’ll never forget. Rio has a real eye for angles and lighting, and he was always happy to snap photos for us, making sure we looked great and got the most out of every location. His local insight helped us avoid crowds and discover places we never would’ve found on our own. From temples to waterfalls and scenic routes, he knew it all. He’s fluent in English, always upbeat, and truly goes the extra mile to make your day special. If you’re looking for someone who can guide, drive, and help you take stunning vacation photos, Rio is your guy. Highly recommend!
We had an unforgettable experience in Bali, thanks to Kadek. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and took us to hidden gems we’d never have found on our own. The tour was perfectly planned, full of culture, breathtaking views, and delicious local food. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Bali!
A wonderful day from start to finish. Driver/guide Giok was so informative - offering commentary not only on the places we visited but also Bali life in general. Was a joy and a trip well worth doing - learned and experienced so much - recommend doing his version of this trip.
Best experience ever! I have booked on viator many times, but this is the first time I have been so satisfied with the service, attention, and care, I have received in this tour. Our driver, Anta, was amazing! He took care of us the whole day and made sure that we had a wonderful experience. Should I ever come back to Bali, I would definitely book through his agency and personally request him again. Good quality tours and drivers are hard to come by. He really elevated our experience to another level. Thank you Anta!!!
He picked us up at our hotel right on time, greeting us warmly with drinks and snacks. Throughout the trip, he kept us entertained and provided lots of interesting insights. We had the freedom to decide how much time we wanted to spend at each location, and Rio was always friendly, even taking amazing photos and videos for us. We ended the day with a delicious meal before being driven back to our hotel. We highly recommend this tour, especially with Rio as your guide! 😊👍🏼”
If you're first time in Bali I recommend this trip with Giok. He is not just a driver, but an amazing tour guide, always smiling/telling jokes and ready to take pictures (He made really awesome pictures and vids for my girlfriend) Next time i will most definitely book him for new trips
I was treated exceptionally well. My tour guide and driver, Anta, provided me with a safe and efficient journey through the sea of scooters that make up the streets in Bali. He was boundlessly enthusiastic and friendly, yet knew when to give me space and not be too intrusive. He not only took me to places, but attended to my comfort and explained all about the places, so I could enjoy them fully. Bali is good, by my tour guide provided a great experience.
We could not have asked for more from this experience. Geok, our driver is one of the nicest and kindest people we have come across on the island. He proposed some changes that vastly improved the itinerary we had planned and told us very interesting things in depth about the places we were going to and all about Bali culture. He accompanied us to all the places and took some very good photos that we could not have done without him. Without a doubt, we 100% recommend the experience.
We had brilliant time with Giok! He was super friendly and shared every traditional cultures and information with us :) 10/10
Rio was a great tour guide. It was clear that he was knowledgeable about the places on the tour and cared a lot about ensuring we had a great time (which we did).
amazing all inclusive tour! if you’re thinking about booking it, this is your sign to just do it. we booked it with Rio, he’s seriously the best tour guide in Bali. He takes AMAZING photos and has so much knowledge of the land. Best part was getting to hold a snake.
Great trip with an awesome guide! We really enjoyed our trip. Dewa was an excellent guide! He offered some valuable advice to make our trip really memorable. We learnt a lot regarding the local culture from him. Great personality. The trip was worth every penny as it didnt feel rushed at all. Highly recommended!
We spent a very nice day with Bagus, our guide. We got the explanations we wanted thanks to him. Thank you for a wonderful day and for the time taken to answer our questions.
O guia Rio foi extremamente atencioso, nos explicou tudo, muito educado, auxiliava nas fotos de maneira excelente, muito paciente para que tivéssemos tempo adequado em cada local; carro confortável com mimos de comidas. Super recomendamos ele. Peçam pelo guia Rio que vocês irão adorar! Obrigada Rio! Adoramos tudo!
Having a driver/guide to visit Bali is really the best solution, especially with family. Giok, our "driver", accompanied us for a few days to visit different regions of Bali. With great kindness and dedication, Giok advised us and enlightened us on numerous visits. His knowledge and explanations on the different sites (temples, waterfalls, villages, palaces, etc.) were particularly valuable. Cross roads, viewpoint stops, local market, choice of restaurants, massages, processions, discussions... each journey between 2 sites was an opportunity to learn a little more about Bali, its Balinese and their traditions and ways of life. We would have gotten through a lot without Giok. Note that Giok also helped us a lot to book our boat crossings and our connections between hotels.
