Great guide i loved the volcano view and Barong dancers but the highlight for me was Goa Gajah

THIS WAS A GREAT TOUR THE DANCE WAS A LITTLE LONG BUT OUR GUIDES TOOK US TO SOME GREAT PLACES

One of the worst tours I've ever been on. Most of the day was spent taking us to expensive stores that was never mentioned in the viator tour blurb. Also the guide spent misty the day trying to convince us that we should see Ubud or temple and drove past the best photo op site for the volcano. It's was a disaster and I felt the guide was shifty making our feel uncomfortable about our safety.

5 star rating: Highly Recommended Review by Supafly, USA, February 2013

So it's a bit more crowded these days after the book and movie, but Ubud is still a great place and Bali's cultural center. It's not close to the beach - read, no waves - so I don't live there. But the restaurants are great, there is a lot to do and the people, including the tourists, are among the most interesting I've seen. Ubud is not my favorite town in Bali, but it still gets five stars from me. After all, it's Bali.

Excellent tour .
knowledgeable guide.
Worth the time and money

We had a good tour. The best part of the tour was Kintamani Volcano. The Volcano is dead, so dont expect any lava, but clouds, lake and Batur mountain was cool. Both guide and driver were good. We had a good private tour. Includes: Gold and Silver Work, Wooden work, Goa Gajah, coffee and rice farms

2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better Review by Deborah H, Australia, January 2013
Doing what: Bali Kintamani Volcano, Ubud and Barong Dance Full-Day Tour

Our guide for the trip was lovely, and very informative about Balinese culture. However, we did not stop in Ubud and visited 4 shops/factories in the morning, so that we did not reach Kintamani until the afternoon. As a limited factory tour, it was fine, but as a tour of Bali, it was disappointing.

Doing what: Bali Kintamani Volcano, Ubud and Barong Dance Full-Day Tour

You get full view of the volcano and lake from a distance. Simply breathtaking. The Barong dance was a good cultural experience too. Our guide was very accomodating. The only thing I find disappointing is the Ubud tour. The silverware and woodwork shops are a tourist rip-off.

I was dying to see the Kintamani Volcano, but all I saw was a mountain!! Based on the reviews, it was my understanding that its a live volcano, I couldn't even see any smoke. We were sitting almost 2 KM (areal distance.. maybe more) at a restaurant with a view of the mountain and a lake.

This was a great day - well worthwhile. Very good guide and very interesting attractions. The view at the Volcano was awesome and the buffet lunch was very good. It was well paced and value for money. The Ubud artisans were very interesting and they were not pushy for sales which we appreciated. The Barong Dance show was very professional and worth seeing - very well organised. Yes recommended- you won't be disappointed - do it!

Must do tour! Packed full of fun and interesting things to do and see!

I was the only person on this trip which i thought was cool. I had my own tour guide who waited patiently and show me around to so many places like the wood and metal factory and silk. Coffee must try over there! Must try the buffett facing the volcano, only 15AUD including big bottle of bingtang bought. Not included in tour fee but worth it for experience.

Good tour and good tour guide. I thought that we were getting closer to the volcano but the only sight we got was from the restaurants.. But did like the stops at the ricefields and jewellery/wood makers.

Tour operators did a good job of organization and guide was informative and helpful. However, I did feel a little isolated from reality and would have liked more opportunity to mingle with the people, such as experiencing a bazaar of some kind rather than pre-arranged shops.

nice trip, but i was a bit disappointed, we didn't visit Ubud at all! First steps were in shops: batik, jewellery, paintings etc...
