What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in Bali
- Wanderlands Gili&Lombok - 7 Days
The trip was amazing, all the accomodation was much better than I expected and activities were great with just the right balance between fun and cultural. Stacia was an amazing leader and although I came into the tour later on made me feel comfortable right from the start and her guidance and knowledge throughout the trip was amazing. I would definitely recommend this trip and the company Wonderlands.
- Classic Bali
This Tour was a great introduction to Bali, the Places a wonderful mix from small Villages off the beaten path to the culture Center of the Island. Because of not so long distances it was a very relaxed Tour. The Hotels we stayed in were very good, espacially the ones in Ubud and Candidasa were a big positiv surprise! Transportation was a luxury private Van, so very relaxed. Our Tourguide/CEO Alan was from Indonesia and a great Guy and Guide!
- Amazing Bali 10 Days - Ubud/ Yogyakarta/ Seminyak
From start to finish, everything was well-organized and planned out. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome. The guides were punctual, ensuring that we made the most of our time, and made sure that we were comfortable during our trip.
