  I had an amazing trip with my family with the help of The Bali Trip Mate. They were very friendly and quick to respond when I reached out with any questions. Our guides (Mr. Astawa, Ji, and Kadek) and drivers (Trezz and Pepen) were all very attentive and friendly. They were always looking out for us and very accommodating whenever any changes needed to be made. Thank you all for making my life so much easier with helping plan this trip. We will be sure to return and look forward to booking with you again!Show more

  I did the trip in July 2025 and had a very wonderful experience!!! The tour was very well planned! Our tourguide Yustus was so kind, wise and joyful, really the best tour guy you can imagine. Also the driver Tressno did an amazing job through the Bali Island!!! It was a very nice mix between sightseeing, resting, good food, free time and some little adventures!!! To me: the tour incl. Gili Trawangan and Nusa Penida was THE BEST!!! There are still so many beautiful memories of this trip! I felt always safe, entertained and informed!Show more

  Excellent tour, great discoveries! The driver was exceptional, the guide excellent. The local guide, whom we understood to be an obligation, spoke too much and too fast in our opinion. The only downside was that the days started too late. The schedule should take account of afternoon showers, and all the travelers were ready at 8 a.m., not 9 or 10, which would have enabled us to complete our afternoon activities (additional snorkeling trip, for example).Show more

  This experience was fantastic! The locations we went to were a great mix of urban and island that gave us a well-rounded introduction to Bali life, even if they were a little touristy. The activities were diverse and engaging and breathtakingly beautiful. I'm honestly not sure I can pick a favorite. As for our guides - Kadek was thoughtful, kind, and knowledgeable. He added so much to the trip! Tress and Kadek 2 were both very kind and skillful drivers. I felt safe in their hands. I don't know how Kadek 2 navigated those streets on Nusa Penida. They are insane. And Yustus! Yustus was wonderful! He was fun, friendly, and respectful. He was always quick to carry luggage, help us up all the stairs to the beaches (be ready to do some climbing!), or add fun facts about the locations. Plus, he's SO easy to talk to. Our group felt like a family and Yustus was definitely part of the family. I'd highly recommend this trip! Thank you, Bali Trip Mate and thank you, beautiful Bali!Show more

  I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to The Bali Trip Mate team for their professionalism, patience, and exceptional service. This was my first solo trip, and I had countless questions — all of which were answered promptly and thoroughly despite the time difference. Their responsiveness and attention to detail truly set them apart. As for the tour itself — it was absolutely amazing! When part of my group canceled, I initially felt nervous about continuing with just one other traveler. To my surprise, that change became the start of an incredible adventure. Our guide, Yustus, and driver, Pepen, were the perfect duo. They are genuinely humble, kind, and humorous individuals whose warmth made the experience unforgettable. Their dedication and energy went far beyond expectations, and I truly believe they deserve recognition for their outstanding service. I am deeply grateful to have met them and sincerely sad to part ways — they have truly become like family to me.Show more

  We had an absolutely fabulous time. Yustus was a great tour leader, lovely person and very accommodating to our needs. He also made our trip fun and very enjoyable playing guitar and singing with us. We also appreciated our local tour guides, drivers and motor bike escorts on Nusa Penida. We learned so much about Bali and its people. We would thoroughly recommend others to do this amazing trip in order to get a taste of many of the wonderful destinations in Bali. We enjoyed all the different accommodation styles. The only improvement we would have liked is to have been able to upgrade at Gili T to an ocean view room. Thank you for a most memorable trip.Show more

  Itinerary was good and varied. I would have liked more time in Bali in Ubud and the less crowded north. Gili was disappointing, the snorkeling was poor due to lack of coral and fish, there was a turtle. OK if you wanted to party. Nusa Penida was good with rugged terrain, bone shaking roads, spectacular beaches and snorkeling. We saw 10 manta rays from the cliff above, much better than Gili. Guides and drivers (Yustus, Tress, Sam, Kade, Koma) were all great, friendly professional. Hotels and restaurants were good and staff were friendly and smiling .Show more

  Very kind and helpful guide. Very chaotic contingency management. We, rightly, complained about the proposed refund for the two cancelled tour days saying that usually, at least in Europe, a refund has to consider various aspects such as days lost, alternatives proposed etc. We were threatened saying that we had two options: accept the refund or lose the right to request one altogether. We naturally accepted because we did not feel like arguing. We will not purchase from them again. Too bad!Show more

  Dear Mary, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience with the refund process did not meet your expectations, especially after the unexpected tour cancellations caused by adverse weather conditions. As outlined in our Terms & Conditions agreed upon before booking (specifically Clause 5), refunds for missed services due to force majeure events — such as weather, safety, or other factors beyond our control — are handled based on the actual cost of the activities missed. While such circumstances are unfortunate and unavoidable, we processed your refund fairly and transparently. Before proceeding with the refund, we did offer several alternative tour options in an effort to ensure you could still enjoy your remaining time in Bali. However, we fully respected your decision, and the refund was then arranged accordingly. We understand that policies and practices may differ from one region to another, and we regret if our explanation did not fully meet your expectations at the time. Your kind mention of our guide is very much appreciated, and we value your input to help us improve how we communicate our policies in the future. Yours sincerely, Rizal at The Bali Trip Mate

  The itinerary was excellent, as we saw so much of Bali which was great to experience. Our driver Mr. Pepen and our tour guide Mr.Kadek were very friendly, informative and knowledgeable. The Bali Trip Mate went to great lengths to provide us a memorable and enjoyable experience. We couldn't speak highly enough of our tour leader Yustus. He was absolutely amazing throughout the whole trip, he went above and beyond to make sure we were okey and having a best time. He was fantastic, did a lot of work for everyoneShow more
