“We had an amazing day with our tour guide Vincent! Our tour exceeded our expectation on every level. We were gone for 14 hours and got to see so many highlights. Vincent was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the rice terraces, tea farming, and Luwak coffee. The views of the volcano were amazing. We had lunch surrounded by koi. Definitely a 10/10 experience not to be missed!”
