    We explored and enjoyed this amazing country in 2 weeks. We got to see every aspect of Indonesia both the well-known areas but also the lesser known, off the beaten track. We were impressed with the guide his knowledge and passion shone through continuously. We were engaged and immersed in this cultural experience.

    I have never been to Indonesia before. This trip was very well organised from start to finish. On the 10th day we drove from Kuta to Uluwatu, where we visited the beautiful temple surrounded by hundreds of monkeys, which are considered the protectors of the locals. One of the monkeys had his mobile phone taken away by someone in our group and our tour guide went to incredible lengths to make sure he got it back. The tour guide was also very competent and always helpful. - I unfortunately don't remember his name. The accommodation and food were also very good. All in all, a successful trip.
