Wayan was amazing, friendly, and so accommodating. Amazing tour showing the non touristy areas of Bali! So cool to see the coffee plantation, hot springs, and local culture such as a market

My wife and I did the North Bali tour with Bali Full Day Tour company on 09 May. We selected this private tour online, based on the sightseeing locations that were mentioned on the itinerary. Payment was made in full to the driver on the day, at the start of the tour.
This was the second day of our private tour with the knowledgeable and pleasant Gusti Ekaputra. Apart from Toilet stops which we made at Indomaret outlets, we could also make quick photo stops any other point along the way.
Just as in the East Bali Tour which we had taken the day before, distances were long but the car was very comfortable and Gusti gave us many interesting facts about the sightseeing locations we visited just as he had done the previous day. We were very happy to have Gusti as our driver for the second day and would definitely recommend him for full day trips such as these.
During our North Bali tour, it rained but we could still view the Lakes (Tamblingan and Buyan) as a drive-by stop both ways. Because the rains had stopped on our way back to Kuta and the views afforded by the change in weather were breath-taking. We decided not to visit the Munduk Waterfall (which was on the itinerary) for safety reasons because of the weather and the long walk to the falls, almost entirely off-road.
We visited the Banjar Hot Springs in time for lunch. This is a set of two open sulfur baths, very nicely done, with a restaurant above the Baths.
Our last sightseeing stop for the day was the Buddha temple. For us this was the highlight of the day because we could feel the peace and tranquility that the place exuded. There are some steps to climb to enter the temple grounds, which are extremely well maintained and felt very serene. The views were breathtaking from the top end of the hill which is but a short walk up another flight of stairs.
Beautiful places to see in North Bali, well worth a visit.

Our tour guide Naya made our day trip an excellent experience. His knowledge of the area, especially with shortcuts to avoid traffic jams, allowed us to spend more time seeing the sights and appreciating the beauty of the area. Naya helped us enjoy more of the area and even treated us to a special ride through a local area that was spectacular.

An unforgettable tour all thanks to Ngurah Naya. There was not a question he could not answer regarding the Balinese Culture and sites we visited. He was extremely patient and always smiling and telling us jokes as we were en route to the various sites.
The best part, better the highlight of the day was the shortcuts we took as we got to see how the Balinese people lived their daily jobs, and the meaning of their daily offerings.
Thanks so much for making this tour memorable.

Raka was an awesome Tourguide/ driver. Very nice tour. Better than everything we had done this far as there are far less tourists in the north. Buddhist temple was awesome. Loved the waterfalls. Long day but took our time, not rushed at all.

Here is an honest and insightful review of our recent family trip to Bali. We were a group of 11 (6 adults and 5 children - 4-10yo), who travelled in April 2023. 4 ex Melbourne and 7 ex Adelaide. FYI this was our third trip to Bali since 1999.

Luxury escapes - this trip was partly funded through a credit we had to take when our 2020 trip was cancelled due to Covid. The LE staff were great to deal with, but appeared hamstrung by operating policies that left us with little alternative options. Great deals, so long as you are happy with staying in their swim lane.

Jetstar - We flew Jetstar, and were dreading having our flights cancelled/postponed, as had been reported widely in the media in recent weeks. Our experience turned out ok - with the Adel departure delayed 10 min, and the return Melbourne flight delayed 30 min. Not bad by international standards. The counter staff in Adelaide were not terribly friendly, and acted like they didn't want to be there. Whereas the flight crew on both flights were amazing - especially as we were travelling with 3 kids ex Adelaide.

Bali - it was obvious that the tourist areas in Bali had been severely impacted by Covid - with many establishments being mothballed during the height of the pandemic. Some of the impacts of that are still visible.

Merusaka Nusa Dua - we stayed at the Merusaka resort at Nusa Dua. This appeared to have been mothballed for a period of time as well. It was obvious that maintenance had not been kept up, and the place did look a little tired, however, there were signs of these works being carried out during our stay - and certainly not in an intrusive way.

The staff were amazing, and were genuinely happy to have tourists back in numbers. The food was faultless. There are four restaurant ares to choose from, including a beach front bar area. We opted for the 'free flow' food and drinks deal, and were not left wanting.

Bali Honest Driver - we used this transport service on 2 occasions - once going to Waterbom Park, and the second being a day trip to Ubud and Kuta. I cannot speak highly enough of these guys. The vehicles were modern, clean and most importantly - the AC worked well, as these were both quite humid days. Both drivers spoke good english, had a great knowledge of areas and issues. It was sad to hear that both drivers had been out of work for almost 3 years, and only returning to work in the last 3 months as tourist numbers are starting to improve.

In summary, would we go back - most definitely.
