“We had a custom made tour where Wayan picked us up very early in the morning from a hotel in Sanur, and we had a near 2 hour drive to Mount Batur which we trekked (not with Wayan – he went to sleep), then we went to the Lempunyang temple, before being returned back home. Wayan was really happy, polite, a brilliant speaker of English and keen to learn about us whilst sharing his own stories as we were keen to learn about Balinese life. All of this for a fair price.”

“Thank you Jerry Yan for being a great driver for our Ubud stay. Jerry Yan picked us up at 2:30am for the Mt Batur Sunrise hike, waited for us to hike up and return around 8am, then proceeded to spend the day with us going to other destinations such as rice terraces and Bali swing. Jerry Yan was very professional and informative! Thanks for a great day!”
