Reviews of Small Group tours to Bali
- Bali Experience 15 Day
I highly recommend booking onto this tour!! My highlight of the trip was when Stacia told us we were stopping off for an early takeaway breakfast but what we didn’t know is that we was about to see the most amazing sunrise!
- 7 Days Bali and Gili Islands Epic Experience
I had a great vacation thanks to Bali Trip Mate and especially thanks to our guide Yustus and driver Tres (Tresno). They were friendly and helpful and made me feel welcome the second I met them at the airport. Bali and the Gili Islands were beautiful and we got to see so many different sights and places. Many activities were included such as snorkelling and entry prices to temples. I wouldn't have been able to see so much of both islands in one week if I had booked and travelled by myself. The two hotels that we stayed at were well-located, nice and clean. The two downsides to the holiday were that we spent a lot of time sitting in the car driving to different places. Due to traffic, it could also take longer than planned. The second was that some days were packed with activities, which resulted in us not having much time to spend at the various tourist destinations. The aspect of discovering an area on foot by walking and wandering around is unfortunately lost with this travel concept. However, we had good conversations during the car rides as we got to learn more about Indonesia and its culture, and we got to see a lot of the beautiful islands through the car windows. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to discover Bali and Gili Islands in one week!
