Reviews of Small Group tours to Bali
- Bali Experience 12 Day
Firstly, I cannot fault our guide, Hendri. He is a gentleman, always ready to help with anything and looked after our group with exceptional care and skill. He was not only outstanding as a guide but as a friend, always up for a joke and it felt like he geniunely wanted to be there with us rather than it being his job. The iteniary and tour generally was good, with a large variety of accommodation, scenery and activities. The food and local knowledge was also good. However, I refrained from giving 5 stars as there was a lot of travel time between the destinations which ate into holiday time. One particular instance stands out, the ferry to Gili. I appreciate Intro are limited by the local infrastructure but when our original ferry was cancelled due to the waves, we were forced onto a slow, overcrowded and disgusting ship. It was only Hendri's quick thinking that secured us a private cabin to make the trip bearable. I understand this is not the first time this has happened either, so better contingency planning should have been in place. That said, I appreciate Intro are limited by the nature of the location and it's infrastructure. However, I would recommend reducing the distance between the chosen locations and omitting some activities (for example, dolphin spotting which many found underwhelming), to reduce travel time and stress. However, I'd still highly recommend the tour to anyone who wants to visit Bali and Intro Travels as a company.
Great itinery…The play/dance performance wasn’t in English, so, we couldn’t understand anything. They also kicked fire, which is also dangerous. The tour needs to move around the schedule so we don’t w to circle back to the dance.
