“To start the day, we had our driver, Grais, he got us to the destination safely and quick!! He also helped take our friend back to the hotel (about a hour drive) when she wasn’t feeling well and had to the leave the tour early. So we thank him for that! (: Next, Nova was our hiking guide! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Bali and Mt. Batur and the hike in general. He was very personable. Lastly, our coffee tour guide, Leonx was really friendly and super knowledgeable about all the different plants. Really great service overall and definitely worth it!!”
