Cultural Bali tour with Gusti

We are a family of 4 adults visiting Bali for the first time. We wanted to see some of the cultural highlights of Bali, including the Jatiluwih rice paddies (UNESCO world heritage site). We found a tour with Lokabali (tour LBT21) and were delighted with Gusti our guide. He took us on this tour spending 12 hours sightseeing, which was great value as it included both a buffet lunch an dinner. Gusti was a pleasure to be with, so obliging, giving us as much time as we wanted at each of the temples and the rice fields. He gave a lots of information about what we were seeing and about life in Bali and Indonesia generally. The rice fields were fantastic, so peaceful and relaxing. The temples were all wonderful, particularly sunset over Tanah Lot.

Great tours provided

We found the Lokabali leaflet amongst others at the airport and opted for 2 of their trips during our stay. First, from Ubud, we did a full day tour (ref: LBT20) of some of the North of Bali, including Taman Ayun (royal family temple), coffee plantation (to find out about the famous Luwak coffee!), Ulun Danu temple (on lake Beratan in the mountains), Jatiluwih (UNESCO World heritage site of rice fields AMAZING) and ending at Tanah Lot temple for sunset (ruined by heavy rain but you can't control nature!). With lunch and dinner included and Leo driving us, we had a great day and all for $55/person. We then moved to Sanur and did a 2nd full day tour (ref:LBT09 $50/person) in the South of the island which included Snorkerling, a glass bottom boat trip to Turtle island (a bit of a disappointment) followed by a quick lunch before heading off to Nusa Dua. This is where we saw the blow hole on the cliffs and visited one of the nicest beaches we have seen during our holiday. Following this, we headed to Uluwatu temple (AMAZING but beware the monkeys!) before ending for dinner at Jimbaran beach to watch the sunset. Gusti was our driver/guide for the day and we echo all the previous reviews in that his careful driving, extensive knowledge, helpful and useful information, friendliness and general care for us throughout the day made this a memorable trip. Thanks Gusti. We only did the 2 tours and there are many more on offer, but I would not hesitate in recommending Lokabali (and especially Gusti) as your tour organiser whilst on Bali.
