This tour is a must try! I enjoyed the North Bali tour with beautiful places. The pork lechon at Babi Guling was really good + amazing coffee samples at Hidden Garden. Debatur is a really good tour guide as communicates very well and knows the places. This tour is worth the price.

It was more gentle and fun than I thought~~ It is hot and humid, but that can't be helpedㅋㅋㅋ But don't touch them or take anything to eat (like water)~ I saw someone else get their water stolenㅎㅎ The monkey selfie costs 50,000 rupees per person and it's fun! I'm also scaredy-cat but I wasn't scared, and the monkeys were heavier, hotter, and smellier than I thought. Still, it's worth experiencing at least once~~
