“Dreaming of Bali - Turah Rai was amazing, he was so personable and knowledgeable. He made sure we could experience as much as we could, in spite of the Rainy season weather. He even took us to some amazing local places, like the Lewak Coffee shop (delicious local coffees and teas). He made sure everything was taken care of for us, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing!” - Reviewed on 2024-12-10
