Good food and amazing experience

Rod_M, Feb 2023

A fantastic way to spend an afternoon. With Agung, it was like walking around the city with an old friend who’s eager to share his favorite places.

Street food tour with Raza

Maurene_G, Feb 2023

We enjoyed our street tour with Raza ( excuse the spelling). He is a native that is well known. We did more than just 10 tastings and drinks and he did not disappoint. He is knowledgeable and very humble and down to Earth ! Make sure you do your street tour with him. The authentic food is so delicious especially the fried duck ! Its a major culture shock but great unforgettable experience

Never book this tour in Bali with viator

Cynthia_G, Jan 2023

The provider didn’t show up until 1hour later. And we were misinformed about location of tour. Viator was called serval times and tour operator told them one thing then told us something totally different got tired of the back and forth so after waiting one hour we left. Tour operators called us and another tour operator called but we were so frustrated we left Viator knew everything that was going on.

Our guide Budi was super friendly and knowledgeable. He ensured we had more than enough samples to try. The sate ayum was my favourite! An afternoon activity I would highly recommend.

Great Value. Great Experience. Great Guide.

Lennon_S, Dec 2022

Our Tour Guide was Al and he was nothing short of brilliant! He had a great knowledge of all the local food and introduces us to things we had never seen or heard of before. Of I had one "complaint" it was that there was toouch food. 🤣😂 Seriously though what a great evening travelling through the Badung Badung Markets and side streets of Denpasar! We could have asked for anything more from the Tour and especially the expertise of our guide, Al. 5 Stars!

Awesome tour!

Rhonda_O, Dec 2022

Had the best time walking around the market with Budi. He is such a nice guy and the market is a really interesting and lively place. There was so much food which was really yummy and no, we didn’t get sick! If you want a bit of adventure and to see some of the real Bali, then do this tour!

Eat where the locals eat

jenny_j, Nov 2022

Slight hiccup with initial booking cancelled due to a problem with the guide. Reorganised for the next day. Whilst I tried rebooking using email I found the whatsapp link more responsive. Reza was our guide. Great English and very knowledgeable. Easy walk around Denpasar streets and really felt like we were eating local food. Was all delicious. Highly recommend this tour if you want a locals experience. Thanks Reza.

Local market

Susan_M, Oct 2022

Great tour through local market, showing all different fruits and vegetables, meats and spices. Many tastings on offer as we visited many sellers around the market area. Our guide Budi was excellent.

Budhi is the best!

Colleen_B, Sept 2022

Budhi was a FANTASTIC tour guide. Seriously, I cannot say enough positive things about him. He took me to the non-tourist areas such as the local markets and local warungs for the best, most local perspective on Baliness cuisine. He also was so knowledgeable and so kind and patient with me as I took tons of photos and videos, explaining everything to me and answering all of my questions. I highly recommend everyone go on this tour with him!

Book this food tour!

Carina_R, Jul 2022

Amazinggggg. From the stree5 food, to the markets, to the vendors with sweets Evey meal was delicious and filling. I would recommend not eating anything for the day prior so that you can eat without feelkng too full. Our guide was do knowledgeable and fun to hang out with

Great experience of local life an food

Suzanne_K, Jul 2022

Had a wonderful time on the tour with Budi, a really nice guide who explained the many tasting dishes around different parts of Denpasar. We gained a real insight into local life and foods and also had the opportunity to see parts of the city not often visited by foreigners.

Good for experience local food

JeiSern_C, Jun 2022

Budi was our tour guide, he take care of us throughout the trip. He is easy to talk to and you can ask him anything about Bali. We managed to experience the local foods from fruits, dessert, street food and lunch type food. It was great.

Great tour, trying a variety of typical Indonesian dishes, don’t miss the babi guling! And snake skin fruit from the market!

Must try !

Jamie_T, Jun 2022

We had a great time with Budi who took us on a night street food tour in 3 markets in Denpasar. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, explaining many aspects of Balinese tradition and culture. We tried snacks, fried rice, sate, desserts and suckling pig.

Excellent food tour

Tamara_T, Apr 2022

Had such a good time with my guide trying and experiencing different balinese foods while accomodating to my food preferences and allergies. My guide Putra showed me around different markets in the city and even drove me home at the end. Would definitely recommend him for solo travellers and groups!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Unique, fun, delicious!

Alexander_B, Apr 2022

I cannot recommend this tour enough for everyone. Reza was an incredible guide and friend, taking such effort to show us as much of Denpasar as he could with such honest passion and love for food! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, generous, and fun, and the food… the food speaks for itself and really is an experience you can only get with Reza. Come hungry!! There’s so much food to try hahaha

Great time

abqchrista, Jan 2020

Our guide was awesome. From the moment we connected by phone to when he picked us up, my husband and I had the best time. We went to the market, and many food stands. All the food, sweets, desserts, drinks, etc, were delicious. We especially enjoyed our stopped at the coffee shop. We were so full by the end of this excursion. We looking forward to another excursion with Putra.

Your Best Friend in Bali

matthew162, Nov 2019

Henry is a fantastic guide, when we first met him he told us that he is going to be our nest friend in Bali by the time we are done and he was 110% right! He really was a fantastic guide and because he not only does the food tours but Bali full tours, he knows pretty much everything there is to know about Bali, the Indonesian culture, the cuisine and anything else you want to know, including the history of Bali and Indonesia. Do not for one second think of not booking this tour, you will regret it and if you did scroll by and not book it, may my words haunt you. Book this tour and you will have an excellent time that is actually hard to even put a price on. Thank you Henry, our best friend in Bali and our new friend in the world :)
