We had a tour with Gusti he was super helpful and informative and planned the day so we were able to see everything and not wait too long at heavens gate. He also takes great pictures!!

We booked onto the East Bali tour and our tour guide was Gusti. We booked the 4am tour which was very early but a really good time to visit the gates of heaven.
Gusti was a brilliant tour guide, giving us vital information along the way. I would definitely recommended this tour with Gusti.

It was absolutely incredible. I would recommend this for everyone.

The gate of heaven was amazing. The photographer who took the photos done wonders.

The water Palace was so lovely

But the sleeping gajah top the hole day off. So relaxing and wonderful with a lovely view.

What really added to this amazing day was my tour guide.
Knowledge not just about the places we went, but about bali itself and the history and culture was just a brilliant added bonus.

DEDE made it. Would say one of the best guides I've had.

WONDERFUL

We absolutely loved our tour with Ngurah!!!!
Ngurah was a fantastic tour guide, who explained everything, stood in long queues for us and took some fantastic photos and videos!

Every location is really enjoyable, be prepared to wait a few hours for the gates of heaven, but the wait is worth it!

Ngurah offered to take us to additional places, but due to the early start, we were too tired for these.

I would high recommend anyone visiting Bali does this!!!!

Thank you so much again Ngurah!!!!

Even with the early start it was a great day. Enawan was amazing and very helpful at every stop. He was great with our 15 and 10 year old sons too. So glad we had him there to help us. Highly recommend!

Had an amazing experience on this tour and I highly recommend! Indra was our driver and tour guide…. he provided information, recommendations, cultural history, and even took amazing photos for my family at all the locations we went to. It really felt like we were visiting family and he was showing us around the island!

First of all, our guide Wayan Suama was great and everything went very smooth from communication upfront, pick-up, and the entire tour! 5* for that for sure!
However, the tour was just not for us which is a complete personal opinion.
The Gate of heavens is a spot where the only purpose is to wait in line and take a picture.
The water temples was basically the same (though no queuing) And we are not the picture taking type of tourist.
So, while we were also a little unlucky with the weather, the actual highlight was the quiet hotel in the middle of rice fields. We arrived there quite early as we had luck with the number we picked during gate of heavens. So, we spent a decent amount of time at the pool and relaxed before the delicious lunch.

Overall a nice tour but we realized that many (beautiful) spots in Bali are made to queue for taking nice pictures in overcrowded places.

Booked this trip last minute when we had arrived at our hotel. Booked for the next day that afternoon. Fantastic that we were able to “live chat” with a real person (Maria Garcia from Viator) with whom I could confirm, the trip itinerary, pick up location (at our out of the way hotel) and price. Payment link sent. Transaction done. Easy. Contacted by the tour guide/driver (Made. Pronounced “Maddie” )later that evening by text (What’s App) and he also called to tell us, as it was just us on this tour,we could start an hour later (5am instead of 4am. Great news!), as there were no other pick ups for him to make.
Made was there at hour hotel lobby by 4.45am. A lovely,polite and smiling man helping to make my wife & I very relaxed. Lovely clean mini van with A/C and supplied bottled water.
And what a great first day of experiencing Bali for us. Firstly, Lempuyang Temple and the “Gate of Heaven”. Getting there early ensures that you get a numbered ticket (ours was No.37), so you don’t have to wait long to get your iconic photos at the “Gate”. Then on to The Water Palace. (Tirta Gangga) Made took some stunning photos of us there. Then a quick stop off for a coffee/tea taster before ending up at the Sleeping Gajah,at a stunning resort. Fantastic included lunch and the chance to have a swim and experience the stunning grounds. Made was a safe & very experienced tour guide & driver and gave us an informative history of Bali throughout the day.
