Everything about the accommodation was much more than I expected especially inclusion of breakfast everyday. James, our tour guide, was fantastic - really knew a lot of the bali history and facts and showed us an amazing time, also took the time to make sure each of us was doing well. Would recommend this trip to anyone, such good value for money and you will have a sad heart leaving at the end. Thanks tru travels and James!

The trip as a whole was everything I could have ever wanted and then some! (even with splitting my eye open surfing.. xD) James did a great job at taking care of our every need; from hospital trips to sorting out the best places in town to eat! The accommodation and activities were perfect and definitely can't wait to take another trip with James and the TruCrew!
Much love,

James did an incredible job as being our tour guide, always went out of his way to make sure everyone was happy and satisfied at all times! His connection with the locals was lovely to see, met some really inspiring people thanks to him! Every restaurant and bar that he took us to were really nice, good food and drinks and lovely service. James was always entertaining us and making sure we had the best time every place we went. Can’t thank him enough for making this an amazing trip, I had the best experience and definitely got to see the beauty of Bali ☺️

He was really approachable, knowledgable and fun-loving. It was well structured with time to do activities as a group and to chill as well. He brought everyone together and we had a really great time as a group.
Would recommend to all! Thanks (:

James is so wonderful - he is approachable and there to ensure everyone was having fun and brought us together as a family so well (still missing my Bali fam now!) The activities were planned out perfectly with a good amount of time to chill / do other activities like yoga or massages etc also. Accommodation was great, clean and spacious with lovely pools and outdoor areas everywhere. James constantly went above and beyond the tour to take us to great restaurants, bars and beach clubs and truly made the experience unforgettable. The group have already discussed booking again next year and I can’t wait. Thanks James

James was a brilliant guide, he was so easy to get along with and always up for a laugh - really bought the best out of everyone. He made everyone feel so welcome and never put any pressure on anyone to do something they didn't want to. He always bought a good energy to the group which helped everyone to relax and have a good time.
The tour itself was perfect for what I was looking for, having all the logistics, activities etc. sorted made the whole thing pretty seamless. It had the perfect balance of activities but also down time to do what we want.

I was impressed by his knowledge of Bali, the culture and his ability to entertain such a variety of characters on the group.
Nothing was ever to much trouble and James would go above and beyond to ensure everyone was happy and comfortable.
This was my first ever tour and James made the experience so enjoyable and relaxing that it definitely will be putting a deposit on my next one asap !!!

James as our tour guide did an awesome job. He was very friendly, helpful and the most mind blowing for me, he just spread his amazing good mood to all of us, unbelievable. He knows all the places we´ve been to, the country and culture and was answering all of our questions. Every single restaurant/ bar he choose was just incredible and we enjoyed food/ drinks and wonderful time together. Also the accommodation have been so nice, clean and big rooms with good food, nothing to complain about. I definitely recommend this tour cause James made it to one of my favorite journeys I´ve ever had. He found a really good balance between activities and chill out time, which made this trip so enjoyable. Thank you JAMES for this adventure you made special for me. Julie #JustGo

Our tour guide James was amazing! He was so helpful if we had any questions or needed anything at all. He knew so much about the cultures and different places we would visit. He also has AMAZING food recommendations.. seriously if he tells you to get it, don't think twice about it. Honestly all in all had the most unreal time in Bali with James taking care of us and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way!!

I can't recommend this tour enough, the accommodation was way more than I expected and all the different types of activities were amazing! I loved spending time with the locals and finding out about their culture.

The tour was packed with fun and interesting activities, especially the snorkelling in the Gili islands and meeting and spending time with local guide Wayun and participating in a cooking class at his family home in Ubud. James was a fantastic guide, always making sure we were all happy, taking us to the nicest spots for lunches and dinners and generally being super fun, positive and inclusive. Overall an amazing 10 days in Bali :) Thank you!

The tour itself was a great combination of cultural experiences and fun outings. James was the best tour guide we could have possibly asked for. He was super energetic and enthusiastic, and also always had the answers to our questions. He kept us on time and made sure we had a blast 24/7 :) He definitely went above and beyond all job requirements, because when I hurt myself by being a clutz (as per usual) James went so out of his way to make sure that I could still participate in everything that he actually carried me on his back at points. Seriously, he's the best. Go on his tours, you won't regret it!

He was great at getting all the group involved in each activity (even if it wasn't their thing) nothing was too much trouble for him (even when we all asked about 100 questions a day each! Lol) Loved the fact he had a lot of knowledge about each place we visited and about Bali as a whole. Overall I would give James 5 out of 5 stars!

James was an absolute star and he made our trip. Very professional, humble, kind and fun. He's taken the time to learn about the culture and the language and was always there to answer any questions we had and if he did not know he would get back to us. The whole group was amazing, we left calling everyone our Bali family!! Would defiantly book direct with Tru Travels in the future! Thanks James for the best time!!

The activities were so much fun, I genuinely couldn't fault any of them. The accommodation was also great and the staff were some of the friendliest people I have ever met. The group was amazing and our tour leader - James - made the entire trip. He was full of energy and enthusiasm, and his local knowledge of Bali was fab given the short amount of time he had been living there. It was obvious how much he loved Bali and it rubbed off on the rest of the group as none of us wanted to leave! I had the best 10 days and would 100% recommend the tour and James to others :D

I had an awesome time, with a well experienced tour guide (yep, looking at you, James!) who included everyone in group activities, who helped people find solutions for unexpected problems and who never failed to show the fun spots along the way. He is very relaxed and easy-going; a great characteristic to help people get that holiday feeling straight away. He's a great addition to the team. Keep it up, James!

The group had such a good time and was filled with so many laughs.. I have made such good memories with an amazing tour group and a fab tour guide.. James was ridiculously knowledgeable about Bali and it’s culture and always went out of his way to give us weird and wonderful facts about the place.. He helped us to book extra activities which were outside of the itinerary and advised us on which were best. James was really entertaining and managed to make every activity, night out and everything in between so fun (thanks a million for that James). Tru Travel: James is truly a credit to the team!!
Once again, thank you for everything you did for us and for making the trip unforgettable

He included everyone and ensured the whole group remained to get along. We all meet and made friends which am sure we will remain in contact with. The accomdation was lovely. My favourite was the second and third hotel. Wasn't to keen on the first one, but all lovely in there own locations. The activities where amazing and it was defiantly the best experience of my life, but wouldn't have been as amazing if James was not our tour guide he made the experience what it was for us all.

Thankfully I was pleasantly surprised. On the first day of arrival we were met with a message from James the tour guide welcoming us to the bar. This then was the perfect opportunity to meet the other people on the tour with a cheeky cocktail. James was even understanding when we wanted to go chill by the pool after a long flight and kept us up to date on the evening plans.
Every day was completely different however without James and the rest of the tour I don't think my Bali experience would have been the same. James went out of his way to suggest local restaraunts he had been too prior, participate in extra things that were not included in the tour that other people wanted to do, and was always extremely fair when he was planning group meals and activities around cost and personal preferences.
Sufing, snorkelling and the bike hire were my top acitivities however the tour does cater for everyone's interests!
Already looking at future tour dates, and couldn't recommend a better tour guide than James!

The tour is very well organised and completely stress free, you don't need to worry about any transport or accommodation.

James our tour leader was very well organised and made sure we knew what was happening each day, I would highly recommend going on this tour!

Everything was so well organised for us all from transport to every activity to meals and pretty much anything else included.

The accomodation was really nice too, I was pleasantly surprised. Breakfast included was also a bonus. Our tour guide James was brill, he would do anything for us and always helped our group out, we had so much fun together because of him, I'd go back in a heartbeat :)

Our tour leader James made sure we were all well informed of the pick up times of our next destination of the tour in plenty of time and he was always knowledgable of each place we visited in Bali and Gilli T.
He was really encouraging and made sure that everybody was involved and having a great time.
James took us to some amazing food places, especially Deus where I tasted the most delicious mozzarella dippers

The places we visited were incredible with the Balinese cooking class being my absolute favourite. James was our tour guide and he made a real effort to keep everyone happy and safe. In the words of James, he was sick! The only down side to the trip was that some of the intinerary had changed and we did not find these changes out till we arrived. This was a shame because some of the things we missed I was really looking forward to (visiting a school). However the rest of the trip was great and I would without hesitation book another trip with TruTravels again.

Our tour guide James was great and even with it being his first solo tour he did such an amazing job and really integrated the group together making the trip enjoyable for everyone! The 3 different accommodations we were booked in were of a very high standard with breakfast included in all, and all being located very central to the local areas, which was a massive bonus! Particular highlights of the tour for me were the rice fields in Ubud as well as the sunrise mountain hike to Mount Butar which is not included in the tour but at a small additional cost, but so worth doing! Gili T islands were also another highlight and the swimming with turtles experience was an unforgettable experience! There was also a lot of free time in between activities to do our own exploring of the area, which was another plus of the tour! For the price, i think that it was such good value for money and would not have gotten the same high level accommodation and all the additional activities booking it yourself. I had previously done a tour in Thailand with Trutravels a few years back and so booked with them again for Bali. I have only good things to say about the company with all the trutravels team being so friendly and amazing! Overall great tours at such affordable prices and will defiantly book with them again in the future
