Penida & Lembongan Tour

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.

Last min Bali vacation

We picked up the brochure at the airport upon arrival and Gusti provided fast and relevant information and responses. He is also very punctual and always there waiting for us when we arrive at the lobby. His vehicle is very clean and his additional attention to ensuring that his partners on our island tours will be there to pick us up and not having us to search for the guides is really thoughtful. Will recommend his services especially if you want to just have fun and not to worry about the administrative issues.

Gusti is the best!

Gusti is a very good personal driver! He will bring you anywhere you want on the island. He takes his times to bring you save to the next stop. He is not only a good driver but he also knows a lot of information about the tourist attractions. You should book him! Greetings Danielle from Holland!

Bali tour

Excellent service and great knowledge from the driver. Nothing was too much trouble. Kept in touch after booking so pick up was convenient and prompt . Highly recommend

Gusti was one of the highlights of Bali

We found Lokabali Tour in one of the airport pamphlets when we arrived. As we looked through the many options, we decided on a tour from Lokabali. We were so impressed with Gusti, our driver, that we decided to use him throughout the rest of the week. Gusti was very kind and soft spoken. He was very respectful and patient with us, as we tried to see and do everything during our week in paradise, but he also kept us moving along so that we were able to keep a good schedule. I would recommend Gusti, as a driver, for anyone who is visiting Bali. He knows traffic patterns, and can literally get you out of a jam. He was one of the highlights of our trip.

Very good tour! No cheating and Gusti is an excellent driver and guide

We made the tour with the elephant ride, waterfall, rice terraces, Ubud art village and Batuan Temple. Very well organized and all was included in the price (lunch and tickets). Gusti, our driver, was a very nice guy, who spoke very good English and explained to us many of the customs and traditions in Bali. He was always patient and extremely friendly.
