One of the best tours I've been on. Darma is so friendly and knowledgeable. He showed us around a local school, showed us a Barong dance, then welcomed us into his home, explaining all about Balinese culture and community. We had a fresh coconut to drink, we tried making our own klepon, we tasted unusual fruits, he showed us how to make Balinese offerings and then took us to see the rice paddies, I even had a go planting rice. We saw how his family makes coconut oil and coffee as well as all the spices that go into the tradition chicken skewers (which we all tried). Then lunch was absolutely delicious! Finally we had a dance performance with live Balinese music from members of the community. Darma was so informative and funny and made sure everyone felt welcomed and had what they needed and his family were all so kind. I cannot recommend this enough.
