Highly recommend! - We had an incredible experience visiting Pura Tirta Empul with Koman as our guide and driver. He was absolutely amazing—extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Balinese culture.
Koman explained the purification ritual and its significance step by step, making sure my husband and I fully understood each part before participating. He ensured we followed the proper customs and did everything the correct way, including providing sarongs so we were appropriately covered.
He also took amazing photos and videos for us, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience.
On top of that, he was incredibly patient and helpful when my husband misplaced his locker key, handling the situation calmly and professionally.
Koman was also a great conversationalist, making the drive enjoyable and engaging. We felt truly well taken care of from start to finish and highly recommend Koman for anyone looking for an authentic and memorable experience in Bali.

Fantastic guide - Our guide was great! He was very knowledgeable about the temple history and was clear when giving instructions regarding the ceremony. He was easy to communicate with when setting up the reservation, which was great because another tour canceled our ceremony last minute. He also took amazing pictures and videos of the experience.

Great tour with helpful information - Visiting the Tirta Empul Temple was a wonderful experience made better by my tour guide Koman who walked me and another visitor through the temple and explained to us each of the areas, their meaning / significance, and the proper ways to ask for permission at the beginning, the steps and process for each part of the cleanse, and the history of the area / temple itself. The two hours went by incredibly quickly; and he captured all the key moments in fotos and video!! Thank you Koman!!!
