Tours of Bali routinely offered by travel agents and drivers haven't really changed for decades, at least not since I was a girl. But there are now a lot of exciting new places to visit and I want my guests to see them all. I would also like my guests to have helpful and accurate information about these fresh destinations, so I've put together a whole new set of trips and this ebook, which you can carry along as an easy-to-read guide.
As well as including the classic jewels in the Balinese crown, my tours cover off the beaten track destinations too, special places away from the mainstream. We have covered a range of interests in each new tour, so whether you are a temple lover, an art aficionado or a history buff, there will be something special just for you. We've also included some wonderful short walks, such as a trek through a cool tropical bamboo forest or a walk along the beautifully terraced rice paddies, or even a refreshing dip in a towering waterfall.
As far as possible our drivers will keep off the main roads and personally accompany you to the sites (unless you don't want them to). Bear in mind that in some places this is not allowed and local guides are required.
